Cruise Itinerary
All guest should arrive in Rio De Janerio prior to 1 PM for embarkment day. This is the day you will have to check in and board the ship.
Christ the Redeemer, one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World, stands atop the Corcovado peak. Survey the city from a platform below the 125-foot statue or hop on a cable car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain and get a different perspective of Rio and the Christ. Feel a rush to your senses from the awesome activity on world-famous beaches Ipanema and Copacabana. If the quiet side of Rio is what you seek, a visit to the lush botanical garden – home to some 8,000 species – will delight you.
Enjoy a 2nd day in Rio before sailing on our wonderful South America Experience. Tours will be added prior to sailing.
Buzios is a land of beaches, with more than 20 in all. Just within walking distance of the tender pier lie the Praia de Armação and the Praia dos Ossos beaches. But if you prefer something a bit more private, head to Praia Tucuns or the Praia dos Amores (“Beach of Love”), popular with romantic couples. A “must” for any visitor to Buzios is a stroll along the mile-long Rua das Pedras, named for its beautiful stones. Lined with shops and restaurants, it’s right on the ocean and a great place to enjoy refreshments and to people-watch.
Brazil’s third largest island, famed for its tropical scenery and gorgeous beaches, has an unusual history. It was once a leper colony and later a prison. Today the entire island is a protected area and is home to a tiny beachfront town, Vila do Abraão, where cars are banned. With fine-grain sand and clear turquoise waters, the two-mile-long Lopes Mendes Beach is virtually a postcard. Another picture-album sight is Abraão Cove, considered the most beautiful bay on the island.
Located on the island of São Vicente and extending onto the mainland, Santos was built on the wealth of the region’s famous high-quality coffee. You can sample some of the beans yourself at one of the numerous local cafes and restaurants while exploring the city’s historic sites and cultural attractions. Head to one of the region’s expansive beaches to soak in relaxation and ocean vistas, or splash around a stunning coral reef with tropical fish and sea turtles at Parque Estadual Marinho da Laje de Santos (Marine State Park of Santos).
Take this time to relax and enjoy the amenities of the ship. We’ll also have planned activities for you to partipate in.
The Saint-Tropez of Latin America is a favorite summer playground of southernmost South America. Sail the calmer waters or lounge on the beach along a 20-mile shoreline. And witness the big waves breaking at la Brava.
See this South American city which boasts vast cultural offerings, fine foods, and quaint cafes. The city that never sleeps lives up to its name with an exciting pulse of energetic people. Visit La Boca, birthplace of Tango. Explore more of Buenos Aries on a South America cruise!
anal park, and discover native wildlife while soaking up different vantage points of the world-famous falls.

<h2><strong>Free Dining Experiences</strong></h2>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf"><strong>Ginza (Deck 7)</strong>: This free-of-charge restaurant specializing in Asian recipes has a teppanyaki room that only seats 12 at one time, so reservations early in the trip are critical, and a sushi bar with a mechanical "train" that delivers a rotating array of morsels.</div>
<div></div>

<div class="css-1cyeark">
<div id="bling-4" data-google-query-id="CIeZhY6A4e0CFYzuhwodUrMHCw">
<div id="google_ads_iframe_/5349/ta.cc.com.s/professional_reviews_3__container__"><strong>O’ Sheehan’s Bar & Grill (Deck 8)</strong>: If you’ve cruised on this ship before you could be forgiven for not knowing where you are when you walk up the stairs from the Grand Lobby – the whole space where Blue Lagoon Restaurant and Moderno Churrascaria were has been now given over to a huge O’Sheehan’s. The area comprises a small central bar and then all around it, tiered seating overlooking the atrium. It’s a space rather than a room, with plenty of windows overlooking the ocean and lots of chunky wooden tables and chairs. Yet despite its size and openness there’s a sense of intimacy and character, and it will almost certainly become the pre- and post-dinner meeting place. The only thing missing from this O’ Sheehan’s is a bowling alley. It serves the typical assortment of simple classic fare that is so popular across the fleet: mac ‘n’ cheese, burgers, fries and nachos. Open: 24 hours.</div>
</div>
</div>
<strong>The Garden Cafe (Deck 12)</strong>: The ship’s buffet/cafeteria restaurant serving the usual breakfast and lunch fare, casual dinners, and light snacks the rest of the day and night. Omelet and waffle stations are available for breakfast, and at lunchtime, the port side becomes a vegetarian station, with fresh salads, steamed vegetables, and a variety of freshly prepared dishes.

<h2><strong>Fee based Dining Experiences (Choose 2 as add-on for fraction of the cost at checkout)</strong></h2>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf">
<strong>La Cucina (Deck 6); a la carte</strong>: Italian eatery serving all the usual pasta and pizza favorites.
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf">
<strong>Moderno Churrascaria (Deck 13, midships); $24.95</strong>: Moderno Churrascaria, a Brazilian steakhouse, takes up pretty well all the space where the Star Bar once was. The décor is neutral and restrained, and there is lots of space between tables to allow for a private dinner. A small area is given over to the Sugarcane Mojito Bar.

<div id="google_ads_iframe_/5349/ta.cc.com.s/professional_reviews_4__container__"><strong>Le Bistro (Deck 6); a la carte</strong>: Le Bistro is Norwegian’s signature French-Mediterranean restaurant, specializing in Continental dining with an atmosphere that’s almost as important as the food. Small, dark, intimate, the ambiance is quiet and romantic, making the menu choices taste all that much better. The signature dessert, a fruit and chocolate fondue, is so good that it’s a shame to leave it for last.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf">
<strong>Cagney’s Steakhouse (Deck 13); a la carte</strong>: Cagney’s Steakhouse eatery is located at the top of the ship and replicates a typical high-end steak-and-chop house, with white linens and a clubby feel.
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf">
<strong>Teppanyaki (Deck 7); $29.95:</strong> The ship’s Japanese hibachi joint.
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="ShipOverview_content__2lqqQ css-1syunkf">
Room service offers sandwiches, salads, drinks a few hot items and such 24 hours a day, for a <strong>$9.95 fee per order</strong>; morning coffee and Continental breakfast remain free. Suite and Haven passengers do not pay a room service fee.
