Explore Amsterdam before sailing to Lisbon, an historic and architectural treat, and Funchal on beautiful Madeira. From Mindelo, in the remote Cape Verde Islands, you head for Brazil and bustling Santarém, gateway to the Amazon River.  A call is made at the Indian community of Boca da Valeria before reaching Manaus where an overnight stay offers fascinating tour options such as a riverboat cruise where you may see the incredible ‘Meeting of the Waters’.

In Parintins don’t miss the optional Boi-Bumba Festival Show featuring spectacular costumes and infectious rhythms, and on the Rio Tapajos where it joins the Amazon, a blue lagoon is the setting for the little fishing village of Alter do Chão. Continue to Almeirim and Santana for Macapá on the Amazon Delta on your return to the Atlantic.

Relax at sea before reaching Îles du Salut, a former penal settlement (Devil’s Island) made famous by the film Papillon, and continue to Grenada with its pretty capital of St. George’s. Discover scenic St. Vincent in the Grenadines, once the realm of pirates and St. Lucia, a stunning volcanic island with green jungles and pretty blue coves. Barbados, with its mix of the familiar and the exotic, provides a warm farewell to the Caribbean. On your homeward voyage discover the Azores with calls in tranquil Horta and Ponta Delgada before returning to Tilbury.
