Itinerary · Day 1

Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

30.12.2023 · Check In · from 1 pm

Rio de Janeiro is the second largest city and former capital of Brazil with 6.75 million inhabitants. It is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The official language in Brazil is Portuguese. Spanish and English is understood by many residents as well.

We hope you had some nice days before in Rio de Janeiro and now know the legendary beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, the Sugar Loaf Mountain and the Cristo Statue. All landmarks of the city, which are all world famous.

You know: You weren't really in Rio when ...

... You have not lain on the beach of Copacabana.
... you have not walked along the beach of Ipanema.
... you have not visited the 38 m high and 28 m wide Cristo Redentor.
... you have not taken the cable car to the 394 meter high Sugar Loaf Mountain.

If you have not seen all this, then you still have a little time to look at the sights of the city.

But today it is first of all: "Up on the ship and all aboard".

Itinerary · Day 2

Rio de Janeiro, Brasil

31.12.2023 · Depart 6 pm

Once you have familiarized yourself with the ship and your cabin, we recommend that you spend another day in Rio de Janeiro. The ship does not depart until early evening.

The city center (business district) is within easy walking distance of the port. Cabs at the pier will take you wherever you want to go. The public transportation system offers buses and subways. There is also a tourist information center in the cruise ship terminal.

The possibilities to have fun in Rio are endless. Take a spin in a helicopter and see the highlights from the air. The price is from 150 USD per person. It will take your breath away, so beautiful are the images from the air.

But, there is much more: museums, great restaurants, the Tijuca National Park, the famous Maracanã soccer stadium or the old Candelária church. And if you visit Sugarloaf Mountain (Sugarloaf), maybe don't take the streetcar, but take a walk overlooking Vermelha Beach. If you are looking at the sea, look for Cláudio Coutinho Way on the left. Here you can take a walk to the sea.

Itinerary · Day 2

Copacabana, Brasil

31.12.2023 / 01.01.2024 · Arrival 10 pm

It's New Year's Eve. On board, everything is being prepared for the big celebration. The ship doesn't go far, actually, just around the corner, to the famous beach of Copacabana

Because here, every year at 24 o'clock, a huge fireworks display is organized by the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is one of the world's largest and most spectacular fireworks, which lasts almost 1 hour.

The ship will not anchor in the harbor, but will position itself a few hundred meters off the beach, so that the fireworks can be seen from the ship. Around 10 pm the ship will arrive in front of Copacabana.

Aboard Desire Rio de Janeiro Cruises, the New Year will be welcomed with explosions of color and light. The stunning fireworks display will light up the sky at midnight as the first day of 2024 is celebrated. Wearing auspicious colors is a local New Year custom: white for good luck, green for health, yellow and gold for prosperity, and blue for peace. So colorfully attune yourself to have a memorable New Year's Eve. Again, please note that there will be no port calls on this day and you will remain on board to enjoy the festivities, fireworks, special New Year's Eve dinner, show and performances from the ship.

Paraty was originally inhabited by the indigenous Guaianá people before Portuguese colonizers settled the Paraty region.

In 2019, the old town, along with four nature reserves in the surrounding area, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as Paraty and Ilha Grande - Culture and Biodiversity.

The, cobblestone irregularly paved historic center with its whitewashed buildings and picturesque churches is the perfect place to walk, while the best beaches and pristine islands can be reached by boat.

In Paraty it is warm almost all year round. The hottest time is the summer from November to February. You should expect rain no matter what time of year it is. The average temperature in January is 26° degrees. The Paraty-Mirim Nature Park, 15 kilometers away, is worth a day trip. For more information about Paraty, see here.

Since cruise ships cannot dock in Paraty, you will be taken ashore by tender boat. The tender boat ride takes about 30 minutes.

At sea

04.01.2024 · at Sea

Enjoy a day at sea.
It's time to get to know the ship and look around the decks a bit. Don't miss trying the delicacies of the cafes and snack bars. Or you can just enjoy a cocktail on the pool deck and get a topless tan.

Itinerary · Day 8

Punta del Este, Uruguay

06.01.2024 · Arrival 8 am · Depart 6 pm

Uruguay is tango - Uruguay is football - Uruguay is mate and Uruguay is much more. The small country in South America is not on many people's list of travel destinations - quite wrongly, we think. Uruguay is not only perfect for emigrating, but is also worth a trip.

Uruguay is a safe destination, probably the safest in all of South America. In January, average temperatures are 28°C max and 18°C min, so it's summer.

You will stop in Punta del Este, a beautiful, modern and clean city, the most important holiday resort for Uruguayans on the South Atlantic. In addition to the classic grilled meat, you can enjoy a wide variety of seafood here, superbly prepared by internationally renowned chefs. Not quite cheap, but of a high standard. Most visitors come for the beaches and nightlife. There are exclusive boutiques, museums, casinos, golf courses and excellent restaurants.

Itinerary · Day 9

Buenos Aires, Argentina

07.01.2024 Check out from 7 am

The capital with its 15 million inhabitants seems endless, not only because of its 48 districts (barrios). The city is European in character, primarily with immigrants of Italian and Spanish origin. Buenos Aires is a multicultural society with people from many parts of the world. In January you can expect temperatures around 30 °C. Spanish is spoken.

To avoid going the usual tourist ways, we recommend considering a tour guide. It does not cost much, the guides speak German and know every corner of the cit

Credit cards are accepted. Nevertheless, many restaurants or stores require only cash or a minimum purchase if you want to pay by credit card. Before making a purchase, find out if you can pay by credit card and what the terms are. It is recommended to carry a small amount of cash with you. Remember that there is high inflation in Argentina, exchange rates are constantly changing. Whatever you do, be discreet and avoid showing your wallet. A tip of 10% to 15% is expected but not mandatory.

If you are going directly to the airport, take a cab which can be obtained directly at the pier. From the port to the International Airport Ezeiza (EZE) it is about 40 km, via the highway you need about 45 minutes.

All other areas of the ship are non-smoking. This includes all public areas, restaurants, the pool deck, cabins and suites, balconies, hallways and corridors. For the comfort of guests, strict adherence to this policy is requested. Changes may be made if local smoking regulations require.

Can we choose a specific cabin, or will we be assigned one?

Can I travel as a single person?

No, unfortunately, as a single you will not get on board a couples-only charter cruise. Please book an adult cruise, singles are welcome here. If one of the two partners does not come on board or leaves the ship prematurely, both partners must leave the ship or neither partner will come on board. As a precaution, we would like to point out that in this case a refund of the tour price by the organizer is excluded.

What additional costs will we incur?

There are no additional costs for you. Excepted are expenses for your personal needs. For example, if you wish to participate in a guided shore excursion, you must add these costs to your travel expenses. All prices on board are exclusive of taxes.
