On cruises from Brazil, passengers sail to other areas in South America or to the Antarctic or Trans-Atlantic.

On cruises to Brazil, passengers encounter golden stretches of sand, glittering cities and small, indigenous villages. Colorful Rio de Janeiro is famed for its annual Carnival celebration, held in the weeks prior to Ash Wednesday. Visitors here can also ride the cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain, learn how to dance the traditional samba or lounge on one of its popular beaches. Recife is another appealing port, where handmade items are sold at the Pernambuco Culture Center, a prison-turned-crafts-market.

Some Brazil cruises spend a few days on the Amazon River, starting or ending inland at the city of Manaus. While sailing the river, you can observe Amazonian life up-close in tiny Indian communities such as Boca da Valeria, located at the edge of the jungle, and 200-year-old Parintins, perched on Tupinambarana Island.
