CRUISE in Style
A six-week cruise on the beautiful Magellan will transport you to tropical climes in the depths of British winter
PICTURE yourself spending six glorious weeks on an epic adventure, escaping the cold, dark British winter on an incredible voyage on Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Magellan. Embark in London Tilbury and relax into life on board, dining in the Waldorf or Kensington restaurants, plus informal suppers in the Raffles Bistro, and an array of activities and entertainment. For 42 heavenly nights you’ll spend blissful days at sea between enchanting experiences in exotic ports of call.
This incredible voyage will transport you to the depths of the Amazonian jungle, where you may marvel at parrots, toucans and other wildlife amid the rubber and Brazil-nut trees, and perhaps fish for piranhas at Maica Lake. Visit a tiny indigenous village and barter for local artisan crafts at Boca da Valeria, and swim in the crystal-clear waters dotted with stilted fishermen’s houses at Alter de Chão.
Stay overnight at Manaus, one of the wealthiest cities in the world during the rubber boom of the late 19th century, and explore the legacy of success in the form of faded grand buildings such as the ornate Teatro Amazonas opera house.
Immerse yourself in the colours of carnival at the Boi Bumba show in Parintins, and discover a sample of the flavours of the Caribbean, dropping anchor in St Lucia, Barbados, Antigua and Tobago, where idyllic beaches, culinary delights, historic landmarks and spectacular scenery will welcome you. And, as you make your way back across the Atlantic, you’ll drop in on the Azores, where dramatic volcanic landscapes form a backdrop to charming 16th-century villages and towns that were home to Dutch explorers, then Spanish and Portuguese settlers.
