ROCS Holidays - Scenic Luxury Cruises 2024

Day 4 Tue, 25 Mar

At Sea (B,L,D) After a languid sleep-in and a luxurious in-suite breakfast, partake in our Yoga or Pilates classes in one of our indulgent spaces. You'll find wellness options to pamper your body as well as your soul, with our expert instructors. Afterwards, relax in the sauna or dip into the temperature-controlled plunge pool. Enjoy your time privately or catch up with new found friends to share stories. The Azure Bar and Café is ideal for casual but upscale dining and affords you a sea view like no other. Sip a custom cocktail in one of Scenic Eclipse’s nine all-inclusive bars, including the Whiskey Bar, where more than 100 premium varieties of this beverage available. At Sea (B,L,D) A day at sea is always a treat when, all-inclusive activities abound. Enhance your culinary skills at Scenic Épicure under the expert tutelage of Scenic’s masterclass instructors. Learn to prepare, plate and present elegant dishes while having fun and socialising at the same time. If you’re looking for some quiet reflection or a bit of respite, nestle into one of the swinging nest chairs on Deck 7. With a freshly squeezed juice or a refreshing spritz depending on your mood, enjoy the expansive sea views with your complimentary binoculars found in your suite. São Francisco do Sul (B,L,D) One of Brazil’s most storied towns, São Francisco do Sul was founded in the early 16th century and shows off its history in hearty cobblestone streets and colonial buildings, many of which are listed on the National Historic Registry. As you sail toward the island, enjoy some of the best views of the town, perhaps from the cosy cocoon of your private cabana, overlooking pastel homes with arched windows and elegant balconies. Home to the only museum of boats in Brazil, the Old Town reveals the country’s seafaring history for you to discover. Nearby endless stretches of beaches and coves exist where you can while away the day floating under the blue skies or scouring the sea for aquatic life. If the weather and permissions allow, seeing the city from the air, suspended above ocean tides and biscuit-coloured beaches from one of our two onboard state of-the-art Airbus helicopters^ is an extraordinary experience. Pontal do Sul, Ilha do Mel (B,L,D) Remote, discrete and the perfect spot for your Discovery excursions, Ponta do Sul is a 28-mile (35-kilometre) nature preserve that’s praised for having the best beaches in the Brazilian state of Parana. With no streets, there are no cars, only pristine forest, the softest sand and narrow trails for discovery. A standout for unrivalled exploration, is that this part of the world has been seen by very few tourists, a unique and remote location just for you. Spend the day exploring the shores, soaking up the sun, or taking advantage of the water sports equipment available. Today may be one to venture beneath the surface on board Scenic Neptune, our custom-designed submersible^ that takes you up to 300m below the sea. Envisage the blue silence of this unforgettable discovery. Ilhabela, São Sebastião Island (B,L,D) Portuguese for ‘Beautiful Island’, today you'll clearly understand why. After getting photos from your favourite spot on the yacht, disembark for the wonder of this magical destination. Exhibiting craggy volcanic peaks that emerge from heavily forested equatorial jungles, it’s also home to a multitude of waterfalls, flourishing plant species and breathtaking beaches. Watch for wildlife sheltered in this UNESCO-Biosphere reserve, including capuchin monkeys as they perform their gymnastics in the verdant canopy. Once back on board Scenic Eclipse, consider a visit to the world-class Senses Spa for an indulgent massage^ to wind down before your elegant dinner. With up to 10 exceptional dining experiences, there is a diverse range of gourmet flavours and cuisines. Paraty (B,L,D) Like something from a picture book, Paraty’s cobbled streets and chaulk-white buildings will have you grabbing your camera. Your friends may never believe you when you tell them just how beautiful this Atlantic jewel is, so better to provide photographic proof, we say. After breakfast on board – perhaps delivered to your ultra-luxury suite for a verandah view – venture into Paraty’s friendly streets to begin your day. Bold blocks of the architectural accents’ primary colour set off the steeply rising mountains, veiled in swaths of emerald leaf cover. Exploring here is a discovery into nature and culture. Be certain to keep your eyes open for the iconic birds that make this area their home, including jocular toucans, kaleidoscopic parrots and flitting hummingbirds.
