Brazil from Santos na lodi MSC Virtuosa

Santos / Brazil (embarkation) / Since Santos was founded in the mid-16th century by the Portuguese nobleman Brás Cubas, much has changed here. Of the natural character, especially its heavily urbanized parts located on the island of Saint Vincent, not much remains to this day. Nevertheless, you will find a magnificent 7-kilometer beach here, separated from the city only by the longest coastal garden in the world. Visit the Brazilian Coffee Museum or the Football Monument, and don't forget the beautiful neo-Gothic Igreja de Santo Antonio Cathedral.

Rio de Janeiro / Brazil / Rio de Janeiro, one of the most famous cities in Brazil, is renowned for its unique combination of tropical nature, iconic landmarks, and vibrant atmosphere. The famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, which is among the New Seven Wonders of the World, towers over the city, while the panorama is completed by the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain and Guanabara Bay. Rio also attracts visitors with its legendary beaches Copacabana and Ipanema, samba rhythms, and the world-famous carnival, which is one of the largest in the world. The unique landscape combining the ocean, mountain ranges, and urban development has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The combination of culture, natural scenery, and a relaxed lifestyle makes Rio de Janeiro one of the most impressive destinations in South America.

Búzios / Brazil / For over a hundred years, the Brazilian city often simply called Búzios has been a tourist destination. Initially, it was mainly locals escaping the chaos of Rio de Janeiro, but after a visit from Brigitte Bardot, the city became a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. They come here for the beautiful sandy beaches, which attract both relaxation and water activities. Búzios is a paradise for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts, but those who just want to sit with a glass of something nice or enjoy the bustling nightlife will also find their place here.
