Itinerary

1. 1

   Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

   Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, one of the loveliest and most cosmopolitan cities in the world.
   
   The crew will greet you personally with a warm welcome and a sparkling glass of champagne as you step aboard your spectacular home on the water for the next 12 days. Meet fellow guests and acquaint yourself with your Discovery Yacht&39;s luxuriously appointed offerings.

   Please book your flight to arrive into Rio de Janeiro prior to 02:00 PM.

2. 2

   Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

   Nestled between lush islands and iconic peaks like Sugarloaf Mountain, Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant port blends rich history with breathtaking beauty. Colourful neighbourhoods tumble toward white-sand beaches, all under the watchful gaze of Christ the Redeemer. Wake up early to experience Scenic Eclipse II’s majestic arrival into Rio’s harbour, passing the iconic statue and making port in the city’s bustling heart. Experience the magic of Rio with an unforgettable overnight stay.

3. 3

   Buzios, Brazil

   Brigitte Bardot was one of the first to discover the charms of Búzios. The iconic French actor visited this small fishing village in the 1960s, catapulting it onto the global stage where it would eventually become known as the St Tropez of Brazil. Glorious beaches and waving palm trees sit alongside luxury hotels, ritzy boutiques, fine restaurants and chic bars. Búzios is a charming grouping of three settlements on a small peninsula, each with its own unique allure.

4. 4

   Abraão, Ilha Grande, Brazil

   This island is a natural paradise and most of it is cloaked in lush greenery. Stroll under magical canopies with the sounds of birdcall as your soundtrack as you look for wildlife peeking from the forest. Ilha Grande is completely car-free, making this wanderer’s dream an exceptionally peaceful stay. Swimming and snorkelling are a must if you can stand to leave the comfort of your beach towel. With our late-night departure, a sandy sunset will have you sleeping sweet dreams.

5. 5

   Paraty, Brazil

   Like something from a picture book, Paraty’s cobbled streets and chalk-white buildings will have you grabbing your camera. After breakfast on board, venture into the town&39;s friendly streets to begin your day.
   
   Buildings accented with bright swathes of primary colours, setting off the steeply rising mountains, veiled in emerald leaf cover. There are no cars in the historic town centre, though you may hear the clip-clopping of a horse drawn carriage as you wander the colonial streets. Keep your eyes open for the iconic birds that make this area their home, including jocular toucans, kaleidoscopic parrots and flitting hummingbirds.

6. 6

   Ilhabela , Brazil

   The name of this archipelago is Portuguese for ‘Beautiful Island’ and today you&39;ll quickly understand why. After getting photos from your favourite spot on the yacht, disembark for the wonder of this magical destination where craggy volcanic peaks emerge from heavily forested equatorial jungles. It’s home to a multitude of waterfalls, flourishing plant species and breathtaking beaches. Watch for wildlife sheltered in this World Heritage-listed biosphere reserve, including capuchin monkeys as they perform their gymnastics in the verdant canopy.
   
   Back on board your Discovery Yacht you may like to book in for an indulgent treatment in the Senses Spa.

7. 7

   São Francisco do Sul, Brazil

   Founded in 1658, São Francisco do Sul is Brazil’s third oldest settlement. History lives on in charming cobblestone streets and colonial buildings, many of which are listed on the National Historic Registry. As you sail toward the island, enjoy some of the best views of the town, perhaps from the cosy cocoon of your private cabana, overlooking pastel homes with arched windows and elegant balconies.

8. 8

   At Sea

   After a languid sleep-in and a luxurious in-suite breakfast, start the day with a yoga or Pilates class. Afterwards, relax in the sauna or jump into the temperature-controlled plunge pool. The Azure Bar and Café is ideal for casual but upscale dining and affords you a sea view unlike any other. Sip a custom cocktail in one of the eight all-inclusive bars, including the Scenic Lounge Bar, where more than 100 whiskey varieties are available.

9. 9

   At Sea

   A day at sea is always a treat when all-inclusive activities abound. Enhance your culinary skills at Scenic Épicure under the expert tutelage of Scenic’s masterclass instructors. If you’re looking for some quiet reflection or a bit of respite, nestle into one of the cabanas on Deck 10. With a freshly squeezed juice or a refreshing spritz depending on your mood, enjoy the expansive sea views with your complimentary binoculars found in your suite.

10. 10

    Punta del Este, Uruguay

    Since the early 20th century, this sun-drenched peninsula has enjoyed a reputation as a favourite holiday destination for the global elite. Referred to as the ‘Monaco of the South’, Punta del Este’s iconic cityscape and incredible beaches attract visitors from all over the world.
    
    Playa Brava, one of Punta’s main beaches, is home to the renowned sculpture of fingertips that emerge from the soft golden sand, called ‘La Mano’. Among other sculptures around the city, the art galleries and museums give Punta del Este an artsy, eclectic atmosphere that makes it a stand-out destination.

11. 11

    Montevideo, Uruguay

    The capital of Uruguay, Montevideo’s streets are lined with public buildings and homes that reveal the nation’s architectural history. The Plaza de la Independencia, once home to a Spanish fortress, is the centre of the city, leading to gorgeous Art Deco structures and landmarks including the neoclassical Solís Theatre which opened in 1856.
    
    Visitors will find themselves amongst a vibrant town full of vim and vigour with musical theatre and cosy tango bars right next door to one another. It’s also surrounded by an emerging wine region, so delicious drops are always on hand.

12. 12

    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Dynamic Buenos Aires is where your incredible journey concludes. After one final delicious breakfast, it’s time to disembark Scenic Eclipse II. As you arrive in port, experience the city’s enticing combination of Latin passion and European romance before heading home. Take with you a lifetime of memories of this truly unique voyage.
