CRUISING THE AMAZON

Cruising is an obvious choice for a sociable holiday. The 14-night Amazon River Adventure on Braemar provides both Caribbean warmth and more exploration. Departing from Barbados, the itinerary takes in Grenada and Brazil with a cruise along the Amazon and a jungle trek.

£1,899 including transfers and all meals with Fred Olsen (fredolsencruises.com). No single supplement on the Jan 17 2019 departure (ref M1902) if booked by Oct 17 2018.
