Cruise Description

Seven Seas Splendor® is the next iteration of luxury cruising, from her elegant décor to the crowning Regent Suite — she is luxury perfected.

Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Known as the "City of Arches" because of the many volcanic stone archways throughout the downtown area, Kingstown was first settled by the French. In the following decades, the island was ceded to the British. Stroll along Bay Street and duck into one of its many shops, but for truly authentic island goods, visit the outdoor waterfront market and the large produce market.

Scarborough, Trinidad & Tobago
Explore the wonderful Buccoo Reef by glass bottom boat and gasp at its colorful fish and coral. Enjoy the thrill of sailing on a catamaran to the sounds of calypso music then snorkel in a beautiful bay. Discover the island and its Fort King George, the famed Botanical garden, market and Tobago Museum. Or take a walk through the island’s tropical rain forest and see the breathtaking cascading Gold and Silver Falls. Look for Indian silk, rum, beautiful local batik, jewelry and watercolor paintings. Savor Cajun and Caribbean specialties like blackened fish, curried lamb or kingfish, crab cakes, shrimp jambalaya or callaloo soup!

Devil's Island, French Guiana
French Guiana is best known for the infamous penal colony to which convicts and undesirables were deported from France. For a long time the small archipelago was known by the name of “Devil’s Island.” The notorious convict settlements were built in 1852. Today, discover a lush, green landscape, where tropical foliage has grown over the old prison buildings and softened their aspect from forbidding to quaint. The most famous prisoners were Alfred Dreyfus, the French Army officer falsely convicted of treason, and Henri Charrière, who was immortalized in the movie “Papillon” for supposedly being the only convict to escape from “the Green Hell.” Please be advised that due to the under-developed nature of this destination, organized tours are not available.

Fortaleza, Brazil
A large, sprawling city in Brazil’s northeast, Fortaleza tempts with a variety of urban beaches and rich culture. At Meireles Beach, stroll past palm trees and shady waterfront cafes along the Beira-Mar boardwalk day or night. After walking the pristine sand of Future Beach, tuck into seafood, beer and cocktails at a raucous barraca. Be reminded of European churches like Cologne and Notre Dame as you take in the neo-Gothic Metropolitan Cathedral, Brazil’s third largest church. Or drop into Fortaleza’s cultural center, home to a planetarium, theatre, cinema, cafés, shops and museums on popular culture and contemporary art. A pair of large markets provide hours of meandering.

Recife, Brazil
Discover colonial Brazil in Recife and nearby Olinda and step back in time along narrow, winding streets amid meticulously restored homes, churches and lovely plazas. Admire the scenic views from the Malakoff Tower and Olinda’s hilltop plaza. Visit the old Dutch Fort, the Jewish Historic Archive and a local artist in his workshop and gallery. Take home lovely traditional Pernambuco handicrafts like clay figurines, wood sculptures, leather or woven straw items or hunt for unusual trinkets in artisan shops. Indulge in a delicious lobster lunch or just about anything your palate desires.

Salvador, Brazil
The oldest and most historic city in Brazil is renowned for its deeply rooted Afro-Brazilian culture. With an amazing number of magnificent baroque colonial-style churches, Salvador has been nicknamed the ‘Black Rome.’ Many of the most interesting museums and churches are located in the Cidade Alta. Surrounding Pelourinho Square, tour bright, multi-colored houses, cobbled streets and aromatic markets.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
There’s a little bit of Carnival celebrated here everyday. From its famous beaches to its iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, Rio radiates an air of exuberance that is hard to find anywhere else. Make the scene on trendy Ipanema or take a cable car to the summit of Sugar Loaf Mountain and enjoy the amazing views. Sway your hips to the rhythm at a samba show or enjoy the tranquility of king Dom João VI’s Botanical Gardens and verdant Tijuca Forest.
