Let Balmoral be your guide during 46 nights of once-in-a-lifetime exploration and experiences.

Fortaleza
The journey starts at a leisurely pace as the on board atmosphere builds before the main event. Balmoral will take in the floral blooms, volcanic scenery and year-round warmth of Madeira, Tenerife and Cape Verde, before nearly three weeks of South American exploration, starting in Brazil. Calls into Fortaleza and Maceió present ample opportunity to relax and absorb the local culture amid white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. Perhaps opt for a spot of surfing or snorkelling, before the excitement of the annual Carnival takes over in spectacular Rio de Janeiro.
Experiencing this magnificent, world-famous spectacle is sure to remain etched in the memory forever. Get set for a dazzling concoction of swirling sequins, colourful feathers and richly-adorned floats, accompanied by entrancing, authentic Samba beats and a euphoric atmosphere all round. With three nights in port there’ll be plenty of time to tick Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach and more off your list too. For a unique and magical experience, a cable car ride to the summit of the mountain will reveal views that are sure to take your breath away.
Take the chance to unwind after all that exhilaration with two well-timed days at sea, scheduled so that you can enjoy all the comforts and facilities of your
‘home from home’. All before you encounter the intoxicating cultural hub that is Montevideo – the perfect hors d’oeuvre for an overnight stay in seductive Buenos Aires, home of the Argentine Tango. With a plethora of historic and artistic attractions within reach – as well as the thundering Iguazu Falls – the extra time will let you pack in all the highlights.
Heading back up the coast, the Latin American delights continue. Experience a sun-drenched life of luxury in the glamorous, yacht-filled resort of Punta del Este, followed by Santos, gateway to cosmopolitan São Paulo. Next in line is Salvador, proudly home to a UNESCO-listed historic centre and nearly 300 churches. It is here where you’ll sample your last slice of such an inspiring, fascinating continent.
Mindelo, Lanzarote and Lisbon all feature on the route back to Southampton, rounding off your expedition of a lifetime.
