Oceania Cruises

Marina

Drive off-road through the sand dunes surrounding Lake Retba in a 4x4 vehicle and feast on traditional Senegalese dishes at a nearby village. As you race over the desolate, rather remote terrain where the grueling Paris-Dakar car rally once ended, the ride will be exhilarating. You can expect it to be bump, unpredictable and nonstop fun. The lake is less than a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and salt was harvested there for years until precedented flooding changed the color and composition of the water. Enjoy a lunch with Senegalese traditional dishes at Keur Salim lodge then get a glimpse into the lifestyle of the traditional Wolof village of Noflaye.

Visit notorious Gorée Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site where countless captured Africans were held before being shipped to the New World as slaves. Board a chartered ferry and venture to Gorée Island, where the slave trade flourished for more than 350 years beginning in the 15th century. Upon arrival, you’ll discover the House of Slaves, where the curator will detail the cruelty of life during the dark days when man was a mere commodity. Learn that the upstairs of this infamous house was formerly occupied by slave traders and the downstairs reserved for slaves, who lived in abominable conditions.

Treasure an overview of Senegal’s capital and its culture during an illuminating tour of traditional attractions and more contemporary landmarks. Travel to the bustling Kermel Market and pause at the majestic Presidential Palace for photos before passing signature sites such as the Senegalese National Assembly, Our Lady of Victories Cathedral, the Médina district and the Dakar Grand Mosque, which was designed by French and Moroccan architects. You’ll make another photo stop at the striking Gate of the Third Millennium, built in 2000 to symbolize the opening of the African continent to the next thousand years, and arrive at the famed Soumbedioune Market to browse local handicrafts and art. Glimpse the lifestyle of Dakar’s more affluent residents during a drive through the Fann Corniche district and observe Senegalese college life at the University of Dakar library, an outstanding example of International Style architecture. In the Mamelles area, the Cape Verde Peninsula’s highest point, you’ll take in expansive views of the city and then admire how Senegal’s colorful sands are imaginatively used in original paintings at the Sand Painting Gallery. Relish time for shopping at this unique venue for a keepsake as marvelous as beguiling Dakar.

Learn to prepare one of Senegal’s national dishes in a hands-on cooking class at a restaurant in Dakar. Your culinary instruction will begin at a local market where you will gather the necessary ingredients for Chicken Yassa, a dish popular across West Africa. The chef will show you how to pick out the freshest, most flavorful ingredients such as lemons, olives and Scotch bonnet chili peppers. Although yassa can be made with lamb and fish, it is traditionally prepared with chicken in Senegal, where this comfort food dish originated. In essence, the chicken is browned, the onions are caramelized and the other ingredients are added in stages so as not to overwhelm the flavor. For instance, the hot chili peppers are put in as the very last step. Chicken yassa is typically served with a side of steamed white rice, but the chef may have another suggestion. When the dish is ready, it will be served for lunch.

In remote Taganana, one of Tenerife’s oldest villages, delight in locally produced wine, goat cheese and bread at a traditional restaurant. Head inland through the sheer cliffs and splendid laurel forests of the Anaga Massif, where you’ll revel in sensational northern and southern views from the Pico del Inglés lookout.

Following your time in San Cristóbal de La Laguna, and before returning to pier, stop to admire the impressive auditorium of Tenerife: considered one of the finest contemporary building in Spain.

As you ascend, the landscape transforms into a surreal lunar-like terrain, with Mount Teide—Spain’s highest peak—rising majestically in the distance. Along the way, pause at scenic viewpoints, marvel at the Stone Tree rock formation, and savor a coffee break at a hotel nestled within the park.

With more than a dozen crescent beaches hidden from each other and the world by green peaks, this is a breathtaking setting – with a warm, sunny climate to match. Plying these calm, emerald waters aboard a traditional Brazilian saveiro schooner, you’ll pass many of the most famous locales including Ossos, Azeda, Azedinha, João Fernandes, João Fernandinho, Ilha Branca, Tartaruga, Virgem, Amores, Canto, Ilha do Caboclo e Armação – and pause at Ilha Feia and Praia da Tartaruga for swimming breaks. You’ll soon understand why the world became captivated by this chic St.-Tropez-style playground back in the 1960s – with a little PR boost from Brigitte Bardot and her Brazilian heartthrob of the time. To keep you properly hydrated when not in the water, the schooner offers mineral water onboard.

Enjoy a leisurely trolley tour of Buzios that takes you to 12 golden-sand beaches, two stunning belvederes, and the charming downtown. As you cruise the scenic peninsula aboard an open-sided trolley, you'll experience refreshing ocean breezes and unobstructed views of idyllic coves, lush green headlands, and expansive beaches. The trolley makes five photo stops along the way, allowing you to capture the natural beauty of this famous resort destination. A brief drive through downtown showcases chic boutiques, cafés, and galleries, offering a glimpse of Buzios' vibrant culture. After two relaxing hours, you'll return to the tender pier, having enjoyed an unforgettable survey of Buzios.

Experience the beauty of Buzios on a panoramic coach tour along its stunning coastline and vibrant downtown area. Known as the "St.-Tropez of Brazil," Buzios gained fame after Brigitte Bardot's iconic visit in the 1960s, an event commemorated by a statue of the actress sitting by the sea.

With about two hours to swim, comb the shoreline or just savor the rustling shade of countless coconut palms along the sand here, you’ll soon understand why this visually stunning and incredibly serene spot has been voted one of Brazil’s Top Ten beaches.

Travel south from Maceió and discover attractions that make this locale a favorite among Brazilians. Shop the character-filled stalls of Pontal da Barra Handicraft Market, known for its “rendas” lacework reminiscent of fish netting. Enjoy a couple hours of free time here, swimming, sunning or watching the tide change the water color. Retrace your route to return to the pier and your waiting ship.

Take to the streets of Recife and neighboring Olinda by coach, minivan and on foot to take in their signature sights. Set out from the pier by coach – headed into Recife, a large bustling city slivered by canals and bridges, to visit the flamboyantly glistening Golden Chapel. This Brazilian baroque gem, clad in a seriously jaw-dropping amount of gold, has been an icon of the city for over three centuries. Travel on past the imposing Governor’s Mansion and historic St. Isabel Theater, then along shady streets lined with whitewashed stucco houses and landmark churches as you head toward the UNESCO-listed, 16th-century colonial town of Olinda. At Carmo Square, you’ll switch from coach to minivan to probe the narrow, winding streets leading to your next destination – Olinda’s central square, the Alto da Sé. Here on the crest of the town’s highest hill, you’ll leave your motorized transport behind to explore this highly picturesque terrain on foot, with in-depth focus on the Sé Cathedral and Misericordia Church. It’s a district where colorfully decorated Portuguese tiles and gold-leafed woodcarvings set the tone. Retracing your steps back to the Recife pier, imagine the immense colonial bounty that once fueled all this ornamentation.

Explore the most representative areas of Recife and the colonial town of Olinda and come away with a remarkably complete understanding of their allure. UNESCO deemed Olinda worthy of a World Heritage Centre designation for its harmonious blend of 18th-century architecture, much of which is well-preserved. While browsing the even older Sé Cathedral, you may hear how the Dutch captured the Portuguese-founded city in 1630 and influenced the urban fabric. As you will see in Recife, a church is also one of its primary landmarks. The baroque-style Golden Chapel is covered in gold leaf and is quite the sight to behold. For a glimpse of the city’s natural beauty, you will drive along Boa Viagem Beach before visiting the atmospheric Old Town. While walking down the street Rua do Bom Jesus, you will see a collection of fine 17th-century colonial buildings. Browsing a museum of giant puppets used in Carnival celebrations adds yet another perspective.

Sail a catamaran along a river through downtown Recife. Cruising on twin hulls through the arteries of the Capibaribe River, you'll get a firsthand understanding of why Recife is sometimes referred to as "Brazil's Venice". The sprawling city covers three islands filled with everything from soaring skyscrapers to colorful colonial mansions. Some 40 bridges tie it all together, and they too vary widely in age and architectural style. The exact sights on the cruise will depend on what route your captain chooses this day, but you can expect to see ample evidence of every chapter of Recife's long history - from its earliest Dutch colonization to its vibrant contemporary scene. After about 90 minutes of the water, trade your catamaran for a coach and head for the Marco Zero Square, the most popular square of the city. From there, your on foot portion starts along the Rua do Bom Jesus and its remarkable buildings from the 17th century. You will stop in an old building that today’s houses the Museum of the Giant Puppets of Olinda. The space houses a permanent exhibition of more than 70 giant puppets. The puppets represent TV personalities, singers, journalists, sportsman, politicians, folklore, and even religious figures. In all, there are about 600 puppets already created. During the carnival parades, the puppets can reach up to 4 meters in height, depending on the height of the person carrying the puppet. Following the visit, return to your vehicle for the short drive back to the pier.

Take an immersive journey into the character of northeastern Brazil as you visit two intriguing Recife museums. Soon after departing the pier, you’ll be in the heart of this bustling city founded by the Dutch in the 1500s. Originally centered on three islands, Recife long ago expanded onto the mainland, preserving its colonial architecture while building modern soaring skyscrapers. Along the way, it’s never lost touch with the region’s history and arts – and today is home to a diverse range of museums and galleries. One of the most offbeat is the Institute Ricardo Brennand, a museum of sorts housed in a medieval-style family estate and tile factory. Here you’ll browse a vast collection of paintings, tapestries, decorated tiles, and sculptures – many of which were created by Brennand himself in his quest to become a world-renowned ceramic artist. He was equally obsessed with armor and weapons, along with the paintings of 17th-century Dutch artist, Frans Post. After viewing this eclectic venue, you’ll visit the more conventional but no less enthralling Museum of the Man of the Northeast. This one showcases the cultural evolution of the region through art and artifacts related to religion, folklore and sugarcane farming.

Explore Rio’s must-see attractions on a comprehensive journey through the city and to the top of Corcovado Mountain for an up-close view of Christ the Redeemer. Starting from the port, you’ll travel by coach through central Rio and various lively neighborhoods on your way to Cosme Velho, where the historic cog train departs. This famed railway, opened in 1884, gradually climbs through the lush Tijuca Forest, revealing increasingly panoramic views as it ascends. Upon reaching the upper station, you’ll complete your journey to the Christ statue via elevator and escalator, where you’ll take in breathtaking views from 2,300 feet above Rio, including the harbor and city skyline, weather permitting. After an hour soaking in the scenery, you’ll descend to rejoin the coach for a scenic drive past Rio’s São Conrado district and legendary beaches, capping off an iconic Rio adventure.

Experience Rio de Janeiro’s iconic landmarks and flavors on a full-day tour, featuring Sugarloaf Mountain, Corcovado, and a classic Brazilian churrascaria lunch. Begin with a scenic drive to Sugarloaf, where a cable car ride lifts you up to Urca Hill, and from there, enjoy an optional second cable car ascent to the summit for breathtaking views of Guanabara Bay and beyond. After descending, you’ll journey through Tijuca Forest en route to Cosme Velho to board the heritage cog train up Corcovado Mountain. Atop the summit, the Christ the Redeemer statue rises majestically, offering unforgettable panoramic views over Rio from 2,300 feet above sea level. After marveling at these sights, settle in for a sumptuous churrascaria meal, enjoying a selection of expertly grilled meats and fresh accompaniments. The return trip passes by some of Rio’s premier neighborhoods and landmarks, completing a day rich with culture, scenery, and culinary delights.

Explore Rio de Janeiro’s highlights as you venture into the serene Botanical Gardens and the forested depths of Tijuca National Park by open-air jeep. Begin with a guided walk through the iconic “Jardim Botanico,” an urban oasis founded in 1808 that spans 350 acres of lush flora.
