14 Night Cruise sailing from Manaus to Ft Lauderdale aboard Pacific Princess.
Pacific Princess
Soak up the warm rays during your cruise through the glass walls of the Panorama Buffet or from your balcony. Relax in the library or enjoy the special guest lectuer programme. Take your pick of diningoptions from Polynesian cuisine to room service, all as you sail from one picturesque port to another. With ultra-spacious staterooms for only 670 passengers and the lavish Lotus Spa, you'll feel as if you're cruising on a five-star resort.
Highlights of this cruise:
Manaus, Brazil
Traveldown the mighty Amazon to where the black waters of the Rio Negro mix with the tan waters of the Solimoes and you'll find Manaus. This port in the heart of the rain forest was the world's wealthiest city for one brief shining moment. It ended abruptly once rubber was cultivated successfully elsewhere. Today, it is a duty-free zone with an electronics trade. Yet the great Amazonian forest lies just beyond, promising adventure.
Santarem, Brazil
Lying 500 miles upriver, near the Amazon's confluence with the clear blue waters of the Rio Tapajos, Santarem has been a major river port since the glory days of the 19th century rubber boom. In the 1920s, Henry Ford carved the immense rubber plantations of Fordlandia and Belterra out of the nearby jungle. Santarem's prosperity survived the boom's eventual bust; the port lies at the heart of a region rich in natural resources, including timber and major deposits of bauxite and gold. Covering an area of some 15,000 square miles, this bustling commercial center is the third-largest city in the Brazilian Amazon with a population over 200,000.
Devil's Island, French Guiana (Isle Royale)
Standing on Isle Royale in the Salvation Islands, you can see how the tropical jungle has overgrown the abandoned prison walls on Devil's Island. Long ago a leper colony, then a French prison, now Devil's Island is a tourist attraction and station for rocket scientists. The base at Kourou is responsible for launching nearly half the world's commercial satellites.
St. Lucia
The island of St. Lucia has dramatic coastlines that frame a setting of tranquility and natural beauty. Its people pride themselves in the care of their natural resources, which makes this an ideal environment for outdoor enthusiasts. Thriving coral reefs provide ample snorkeling and diving opportunities while the mountainous rain forest preserves offer superb hiking and bird watching.
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Seven miles of perfect beaches welcome the seagoing traveler to Ft. Lauderdale. Renowned for sun and water sports, the city also offers fine shopping along the Riverwalk and a perfect jumping-off point for a tour of the Everglades.
