Crossing the Equator: Portugal to Brazil
Follow in the footsteps of the fearless seafarers of the Golden Age of Exploration, sailing almost 8,000km across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to South America. Discover remote islands, historic capitals and endless expanses of deep blue sea.
Sailing from Lisbon, this unique voyage retraces routes taken by Vasco da Gama and Magellan more than 500 years ago when they were charting the New World. This is a true oceanic expedition with just a few ports of call, remote outposts in the middle of the Atlantic and historic cities perched on the rugged coastline. You’ll also get to experience one of the most venerated traditions of sailors, crossing the Equator. With ten days at sea, there is ample time to enjoy every luxury on board Scenic Eclipse. Enjoy up to 10 experiences, sip cocktails in the Sky Bar, be entertained in the state-of-the-art theatre, soak in the Vitality pools and be pampered in the indulgent Senses Spa.
