Ports of Call
Buenos Aires, ArgentinaA stunning city of complex culture, tradition and charm, Buenos Aires is an extraordinary melting pot of the various civilisations that have contributed to its development. The years immediately after its colonization by Spain in the 16th Century — it was founded by Spanish noble Pedro de Mendoza in 1536 — were marked by turbulence and resistance at the hands of the native Indian tribes, the Querandı. Development of the town was interrupted several times and in 1580 it was rebuilt at the mouth of the Paranı river. But by the time of Argentine independence in 1816 and into the 20th Century, Buenos Aires had become one of the most dynamic cities in South America, attracting thousands of European immigrants. The Italians, French, English, Germans, Dutch and Belgians all established their own distinctive communities, contributing to what French architect Le Corbusier described in 1922 as a giant urban centre of insatiable energy. The Buenos Aires of today is no less energetic, evident in every metre of the huge conurbation that is home to 12 million people, one third of the total population of Argentina. The setting of Buenos Aires is spectacular, lying on the estuary of the River Plate and surrounded by vast pampas. The city is blessed with numerous art galleries and museums reflecting its multi-cultural influences. Tree-lined streets and various plazas give the city centre a pleasant, European atmosphere and the downtown area is packed with restaurants, bars and fashionable shops. The nearby barrios are particularly interesting, home of some of the city's wealthiest citizens. One of the most colourful quarters is the Italian suburb of La Boca, lined with wooden houses painted in yellow and blue, the colour of the Boca Juniors soccer team. The residents can be heard speaking in the Ligurian dialect of their Italian ancestors.
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Natives call it a cidade maravilhosa—the marvelous city—for its stunning setting and unabashed lust for life. Our overnight stay lets you revel in Brazilian paradise: beaches beauty, samba. And if Rio isn't wild enough for you, there's always a trip to the Amazonian river outpost of Manaus, once the richest city in the world.
Salvador Bahia, Brazil
In the state where Portuguese culture first blended with West African beliefs, spicy Bahia offers cuisine to sample, rhythmic capoiera fight dances to watch, immaculate white lace shirts to buy. Religion here is often an eclectic affair—catholicism mixed with pagan gods and a dash of voodoo thrown in.
Recife, Brazil
With Recife's receding tide comes a most unusual bathing beach, dotted with a myriad of inviting pools and a surreal seascape of reef rocks. Hence the name Recife, which means reef. Discover nearby Olinda, a colonial gem beautifully preserved in pastel shades of stucco.
Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Canary Islands
Funchal (Madeira), Portugal
The capital of Portugal's largest island, Funchal is a proud seaport with an abundant supply of historical monuments, charming squares and quaint streets. Whether it's the enchanting villages, awesome volcanic caves, beautiful beaches or breathtaking mountian views of the rugged coastline, there's something to see for everyone. Visit the island's vineyards to see the origins of the world-famous Madeira wine.
Malaga, Spain
Founded by the Phoenicians, this seaport on the Mediterranean has a variety of historical sights to see. Among the most impressive are the Alcazaba, a Moorish castle begun in the 11th century, and the Cathedral, renowned for its two chapels and impressive choir stalls. Also worth a visit, are the city's superb museums, tranquil parks and the Plaza de la Merced where you'll find the house where Picasso was born.
Tunis (Carthage), Tunisia
Tour the baths, villas and other ruins in the ancient Roman city of Carthage. A major gateway to Africa, Tunis boasts an uncrowded kasbah, a fascinating museum, and lots of local color.
Venice, Italy
No city in the world is as dazzlingly different as Venice, a seaport built on more than 100 islands. In this magnificent Renaissance realm of canals, bridges and merchants on the Adriatic, gondoliers stand up to sing while they row. Even the buses are boats! You'll never forget the thrill of your first magical moments in St. Mark's Square or being part of the aquatic parade that never ends along the Grand Canal.
