Maceió, the capital of Alagoas in Brazil, dazzles with its stunning coastline, featuring powdery white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. The city is a treasure trove of natural beauty, from the serene Pajuçara Beach, where jangadas (traditional sailboats) ferry visitors to natural pools, to the vibrant Mercado do Artesanato, a marketplace brimming with local crafts and flavors.

Visitors to Maceió can immerse themselves in the city's lively culture and cuisine, sampling traditional dishes like tapioca and freshly caught seafood. For those looking to explore beyond the beach, the nearby lagoons and coconut plantations offer a glimpse into the region's lush landscapes and agricultural heritage. Maceió's warm hospitality and relaxed atmosphere make it an inviting destination for cruise travelers.

Arrives: 10:00 Departs: 19:00

The oldest and most historic city in Brazil is renowned for its deeply rooted Afro-Brazilian culture. Its colourful centre is full of colonial architecture and an amazing number of magnificent baroque churches, giving Salvador the nickname 'Black Rome.' Ships will dock at the cruise terminal.

Ilhéus, nestled in the state of Bahia, Brazil, boasts a rich history tied to the cocoa boom which once labelled it as the "Cocoa Capital of the World." This coastal city is not only significant for its agricultural heritage but also for its literary fame, being the setting of several novels by famed Brazilian author Jorge Amado. Visitors can explore the Bataclan, a historic building featured in Amado's works, now serving as a cultural space and café.

The city's charm extends to its natural settings, with several stunning beaches such as Praia dos Milionários offering golden sands and lush palm trees. Ilhéus also serves as a gateway to the lush Atlantic rainforest, providing ample opportunities for eco-tours and wildlife spotting. The mix of cultural depth and scenic beauty makes Ilhéus a captivating port of call on Brazil’s northeastern coast.
