Day 1: Departure from the Port of Santos

The journey begins with boarding on the coast of São Paulo, where you can spend the afternoon exploring the ship’s facilities as it sets sail toward the waters of Rio de Janeiro, setting the mood for the upcoming celebrations.

Day 2: The Natural Paradise of Ilha Grande

Waking up in Rio de Janeiro, the ship anchors at the stunning Ilha Grande. The day is dedicated to direct contact with nature, whether relaxing on the sands of Vila do Abraão or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon, one of Angra dos Reis’ most famous landmarks.

Day 3: The Grand Celebration in Rio de Janeiro

The ship arrives in the capital of Rio for the most anticipated moment of the trip. After a day of sightseeing through the “Marvelous City,” the liner positions itself strategically off Copacabana Beach so that, at midnight, you can watch the world’s most famous fireworks display with a complete and exclusive view from the deck.

Day 4: New Year’s Day in Rio de Janeiro

January 1st is spent peacefully under the Rio skyline. It is the perfect time for a late brunch while admiring the Corcovado in the distance, enjoying the ship’s pools before beginning the navigation toward the Lake District (Região dos Lagos).

Day 5: The Dunes and Crystal Waters of Cabo Frio

The ship reaches Cabo Frio, famous for its white sand dunes and cold, turquoise waters. The day is ideal for walking along Praia do Forte or exploring the historical charm of the Passagem neighborhood, experiencing the vibrant energy of a Rio summer.

Day 6: The Sophisticated Charm of Búzios

The final stop in the State of Rio takes place in the charming peninsula of Búzios. You can spend the day between the beaches of João Fernandes and Azedinha, ending the afternoon with a stroll along the iconic Rua das Pedras and Orla Bardot before the ship sets sail.

Day 7: Relaxation at Sea

This day is entirely dedicated to rest and onboard leisure. As the ship sails back south, you can enjoy the spa, casinos, and recreational activities, reflecting on the memories created along the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

Day 8: Stopover in Ilhabela

Before the final destination, the itinerary makes one last stop in Ilhabela. This is an opportunity to enjoy a waterfall bath or the beaches of the northern coast of São Paulo as a smooth transition to the end of the trip.

Day 9: Return and Disembarkation in Santos

The cruise concludes its route with the return to the Port of Santos in the morning, followed by a farewell breakfast and final disembarkation procedures.
