Highlights of this cruise:

Santos
Santos is a municipality in the São Paulo state of Brazil, about 79 km (49 mi) from the metropolis São Paulo, capital of the state São Paulo. Standing on an island, Santos boasts the largest dock area in Latin America and is considered the world's foremost coffee port.

The city of Santos has impressive modern buildings, wide tree-lined avenues and wealthy suburbs. It retains a charm despite the development of an enormous port complex. Although best known for its commerce, it is also a holiday resort with magnificent beaches, plenty of shops and a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Buzios
Travel two hours north of Rio de Janeiro, and far from the hustle and bustle of the city you'll find Buzios, a former tiny fishing village that would have been lost to the world had the French actress Brigitte Bardot not made it her favourite beach destination in 1964. Bardot's endorsement catapulted this colourful and lively beach-front port town to fame.

Ubatuba
Ubatuba is located on the southeast coast of Brazil in the state of São Paulo. The city name (pronounced 'ooba-Tuba') comes from the Tupi word 'uyba' or 'canoes' and 'tuba' meaning 'many'.

Ubatuba is historically significant as it is where the Portuguese signed the first treaty of peace of the Americas with the Tupinamba Indians, which kept Brazil in Portuguese hands, retaining one language and one faith.

Today Ubatuba is a key vacation destination for wealthy Brazilians and visitors from all over the world who are attracted by Ubatuba's 70-odd beaches. With stunning scenery and rainforest-clad mountainsides rising above the beaches, tourists will not be surprised to learn that part of Ubatuba lies inside one of the state's largest conservation areas.
