Itinerary Map
Ports of Call
Barcelona, SpainLocated on the Mediterranean Sea, Barcelona is Spain's most cosmopolitan city. It is especially well known for its vitality and style, as you will see on Las Ramblas, Barcelona's main thoroughfare. The city, while boasting monuments that are Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance in style, also captivates visitors with its incredible modern architecture. Among those worthy of attention, are the works of the legendary architect Antonio Gaudi.
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.
Casablanca, Morocco
Travel from Casablanca, the city of Bergman and Bogart, and tour to Rabat, Morocco's serene capital. In the south, on the edge of the Western Sahara, Marrakech is the city of souks, storytellers, snake charmers and the famed Koutoubia Minaret.
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.
Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands
Lush green banana plantations give way to pine forests, then a jumbled landscape of volcanic rock. Ahead on Tenerife is Spain's highest peak, Mt. Tiede, with a stupendous view from the top. When Columbus stopped by in 1498, Tiede was erupting, but it's now sedately dormant.
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.
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.
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.
Sao Paulo (Santos), Brazil
Founded in 1535, Santos was one of the first Portuguese settlements in the New World. Situated a few kilometres east of Sao Vicente, the city was developed on an island, with the port facing inland and ships approaching through a narrow canal. The heart of the city is very much connected with the port activities, and the main buildings lie along a network of narrow alleyways and streets. There are several street markets, where bartering is the order of the day, just as it was in ancient times. One of the most important attractions in the city centre is the Rodoviària, near Praça dos Andradas. The commercial centre is found along Rua XV de Novembro and Rua do Comercio. The city's train station, built in 1860, is a copy of London's Victoria Station. Nearby is the Baroque-style Santo Antoñio do Valongo church and Convento do Carmo. The city's commercial importance is now complemented by the tourist industry, with many visitors preferring the coast of Santos to Rio de Janeiro. On the south side of the island, which has a 400km coastline, are a number of bays with large beaches, protected inland by green hills, giving a Mediterranean feel to the area.
