YOUR VOYAGE HIGHLIGHTS CRUISING THE AMAZON RIVER

Rio de Janeiro is home to the biggest urban forest in the world & there are more than one hundred islands in Guanabara Bay

Surrounded by lush rainforest, the Amazon River flows through territory belonging to nine nations. As you cruise, you’ll enter a world where the people, culture and exotic wildlife never fail to astound – so be prepared to have your breath taken away. Keep your camera at the ready for the incredible wildlife that inhabits this biodiversity hotspot.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA Often referred to as ‘The Paris of South America’, you’ll be charmed by the character of the city. Argentina’s capital possesses a grandeur embodied by the Colon Theatre, one of the world’s great opera houses. The vast Recoleta Cemetery is worth a visit too, where you’ll find the black marble memorial that is the resting place of Eva Peron. For many, the city’s soul lies in districts like La Boca, home to colourful houses and lively tango cafés.

LIMA, PERU Lima’s historic city centre is designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and when you explore this unforgettable city, you’ll learn why. Whilst here, you should visit the stunning museums with fantastic works of art, archaeological sites and beaches. Be sure to experience the lively nightlife and exceptional, unique cuisine that’s on offer.

In the land of ice and snow Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and most remote place on earth. a frozen world in winter (that’s our summer), almost 60 times the size of Britain that spends half the year in total darkness and is cut off from civilisation by the Drake Passage, one of the most feared sea crossings in the world. 38

Ja n e Archer

re you sure you want to go? Of course you do – and I don’t blame you. It is also one of the most majestic places on the planet, with snow-capped mountains, deep ice fjords, icebergs the size of six-storey buildings and so much sea ice in winter that the continent doubles in size. There are hundreds of thousands of cute penguins waddling around awkwardly on land or lazing on passing icebergs. There are also formidable orcas, humpback whales, seals, albatross and other seabirds to look out for.

Antarctica highlights

Not so long ago, a cruise to Antarctica meant roughing it on research vessels but ships have become increasingly luxurious over the past few years. And now, the soon-to-launch Scenic Eclipse promises to, well, eclipse, even the very best.

Half-Moon Island Only 2km long, with dramatic rock formations, multi-coloured lichens and a population of chinstrap penguins. Whales are often spotted patrolling the shores.

The World’s First Discovery YachtTM built by river cruise line Scenic enters service in April 2019 and will have all-suite, allbalcony accommodation (not that you’ll want to sit outside much in Antarctica as it is a bit chilly!), butlers and so many places to eat that over the course of a week you can try a different one every day. But it’s the exciting things you can do off the ship that make Eclipse extra special. Paddle kayaks among icebergs, go snowshoeing, get a bird’s eye view of the continent from a helicopter, even dive below the ocean in a seven-man submarine. And, of course, walk through penguin colonies on trips ashore. Under the regulations protecting Antarctica, only 100 people are allowed on land at any one time, and all landings have to be made by inflatable Zodiac, often stepping into the water or onto rocks because there are no ports. Wellington boots and waterproof trousers are a must, and whilst on the subject of packing, you’ll also need jumpers, woolly hats, scarves and gloves. Plan for layers and you won’t go wrong. Once ashore, you’ll likely be walking in snow. You must stay in marked areas, try to walk in tracks made by the expedition team so you all leave as few footprints as possible and keep a distance from the penguins. That’s easier said than done, mind, as they are curious little creatures that come waddling over to inspect you. Collecting stones or other souvenirs is strictly forbidden, as is dropping litter.

Lemaire Channel

Ships with up to 500 people can take passengers ashore but Scenic is restricting numbers to a comfortable 200 (outside the Polar regions Scenic Eclipse will carry 228 passengers), so landings can be quick and efficient. If weather conditions allow, they may even be able to offer two landings a day. Ah yes, the weather. Scenic has voyages in the Southern Ocean that link Antarctica with South Georgia and the Falklands or the Chilean Fjords, as well as 16 night cruises that spend six days in the Antarctic Peninsula (you’ll find more about an Antarctica in Depth sailing that’s on sale through ROL Cruise elsewhere in this issue of Blue Horizons) but don’t be surprised that the itinerary only gives you a taste of the things you’ll do during your time there. It’s because the actual route the ship will follow depends on ice or wind conditions, and these can change by the hour. Pack a sense of adventure and rest assured the captain and expedition team will work together to ensure you have the best holiday – ever.

A narrow passage, just 1,600 metres at its widest point, nicknamed Kodak Gap because the scenery is stunning. Think steep cliffs, mountain peaks, icebergs and hopefully some minke or humpback whales.

Paradise Harbour An aptly-named bay surrounded by glaciated mountains and ice cliffs and home to a colony of gentoo penguins.

Gerlache Strait Cameras at the ready because this is a favourite hangout for humpback and minke whales, chinstrap penguins and leopard seals.

Elephant Island Named for its colony of elephant seals and made famous as the place where 21 crew from Sir Ernest Shackleton’s failed expedition to cross Antarctica via the South Pole survived four months while their leader went for help.

Port Lockroy The former British base at Port Lockroy now curated by the UK Antarctica Heritage Trust. You can look around huts preserved as they were in the 1940s and there is a shop for souvenir hunters.
