Dive into the rhythm of tropical South America, where natural wonders and historic cites seem to coexist in harmony, and the Caribbean, where life slows down to a happy and utterly relaxing halt. Across 17 nights on this venture into paradise, you’ll come to learn just how dazzling these sun-drenched destinations really are, from Bridgetown in Barbados to Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.

Perfect for a couples’ escape, you’re treated to nothing but unforgettable memories throughout a selection of incredible coastal cities. This includes the option of seeing whales and dolphins from St Vincent & The Grenadines – a truly magical and touching experience – or visiting the intricately detailed Bonfim Church in Salvador, a holy pilgrimage site glittering in rich golds and silvers.

Begin with a pre-cruise stay in beautiful Barbados, where you have time to enjoy the staggering sights and sounds of Bridgetown. From here, the journey continues throughout the Caribbean until you reach Brazil’s Atlantic coast, travelling southwards from one enchanting destination to another.

Seven Seas Splendor is your luxurious home away from home for this ultra dreamy cruise experience. Expect everything a Regent Seven Seas Cruises® voyage promises – fully-inclusive and unlimited shore excursions along with an incredible crew to take care of every single detail.

After disembarking, complete your unforgettable holiday with a fabulous two-night post-cruise stay at Iguazu Falls.

To experience this beautiful part of the world to the fullest, you have a plethora of add-on excursions at your disposal. For example, why not head out on a complimentary ‘whales, dolphins and volcanoes’ tour?

Day 4 | 5 December 2025 | Scarborough, Trinidad & Tobago

Scarborough

Today, you get to explore the wonderful port of Scarborough over in southwest Trinidad & Tobago. Brimming with a brisk vibrancy, this hidden gem is the place to be to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are many add-on excursions to choose from, too. Why not head inland to see some of the Caribbean’s most picturesque coastal views? Or perhaps go birding at the Tropical Garden and Nature Reserve? The buzz of hummingbirds fills the air surrounding the grounds.

Day 6 | 7 December 2025 | Devil’s Island, French Guiana

Devil’s Island

Anchor down on the Devil’s Island, aptly named for its previous role in harbouring the infamous penal colony to which convicts were deported from France. Nowadays, this French Guianan rocket islet acts as a paradisical sanctuary which nature has reclaimed. Tropical foliage has encapsulated the old prison buildings, serving as a reminder of its once-dark past, but also its timeless beauty. Currently, there are no shore excursions offered for this port, but feel free to explore and relax.

Prime 7 is also an option, its mouthwatering American-style dishes always cooked to perfection.

Additionally, you could even head to the infinity-edge plunge pool, from which you’re able to soak in dreamy waters and take in dramatic views around you. There’s also the atrium, a natural gathering place for guests to unwind, whether that’s with a good book or to have a chat with loved ones.

Day 11 | 12 December 2025 | Recife, Brazil

Recife

Step back in time to the colonial period in Recife, Brazil’s state capital of Pernambuco. Its winding streets and meticulously restored homes harken back to a period when the Portuguese first arrived. As well as being able to wander through its charming plazas and to the handicraft shops, you can experience exceptional add-on excursions. Cruise the waterways bisecting the city on a catamaran tour, passing by the landmarks that define the area and visiting a unique museum of giant puppets.

Day 13 | 14 December 2025 | Salvador, Brazil

Salvador

Discover the vibrant Afro-Brazilian culture that’s deeply rooted in Salvador. During a ‘Panoramic Salvador’ add-on excursion, colonial sights as old as the city itself make themselves apparent as you tour the city in a comfortable coach. From visiting a 17th Century lighthouse to browsing the stalls of Mercado Modelo, there’s so much to see and do when exploring. The intricately detailed Bonfim Church also makes an appearance, a holy pilgrimage site which glitters in rich golds and silvers.

Day 14 | 15 December 2025 | Cruising the Coast of Brazil
