Highlights of this cruise:

Rio de Janeiro
Many first-time visitors to Rio will be keen to view the city's major landmarks, such as the giant statue of Christ (Christo Redentor) which is located on top of Corcovado Mountain or Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite monolith also situated in the city.

Nature lovers will be bowled over by the beauty of Tijuca Forest, which, at 32 square kilometres is the largest urban forest on the planet. Indeed, many beautiful attractions abound in Rio, not least the city's famous beaches, from the Copacabana to the Ipanema, two of the most glorious stretches of white sand and perfect for a spot of sun lounging!

If you're hungry for a real city experience, opt for the grand tour of Rio de Janiero (note to football fans - whatever team you support, a trip to Maracana, the largest football stadium in the world, is a must see).

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.

Ilhabela
Ilhabela, located in Brazil is an ecological rain forest reserve. The name Ilhabela means 'beautiful island' and this wonderful holiday destination along MSC Cruises' South American itineraries certainly lives up to its name. Much of the island lies within a state reserve and development is highly restricted.

The island's economy relies on tourism yet Ilhabela achieves a harmonious balance of natural beauty and interesting sights to see. In this way, this island literally has two 'sides' - on one you'll find fabulous restaurants and gourmet dining (the island is reputed to have the best shrimp in all Brazil) together with entertaining nightspots as lively as anywhere else in the country.
