Day 10

This riverside town is often dubbed the ‘Caribbean of the Amazon’, thanks to its immense natural beauty, pristine beaches and inviting blue waters for swimming. It’s perhaps best known for Ilha do Amor (Island of Love), which boasts a particularly breathtaking stretch of white sand beach.Because it’s primarily frequented by Brazilian tourists rather than international visitors, Alter do Chão retains a rustic charm and laid-back vibe. You’ll find quiet spots to sip coconut water or cold beer while enjoying the sound of Amazonian birdsong.That said, there are still opportunities to explore the region’s unique flora and fauna. For instance, a visit to Jardim de Vitórias-Régias da Dulce offers the chance to see Amazon water lilies and taste them in local cuisine.

Day 11

Santarém

Nestled in the Brazilian state of Pará, Santarém is best known for the striking point where the Tapajós River merges with the paler waters of the Amazon River.For visitors, it’s an excellent place to enjoy an in-depth look at the region’s history. In Museu de Santarém, housed in a yellow waterfront mansion, you can see clay artefacts dating back 6,000 years, as well as paintings by local artists.The city is also a starting point for adventures into the jungle itself. Insightful tours will take you in search of dolphins, toucans, monkeys and more.

Day 12

Boca de Valeria

Days 13-14

Manaus

This remarkable city must be seen to be believed. It’s hard to imagine that a sprawling metropolis of 2.6 million people is nestled in the heart of the Amazon jungle, surrounded by dense, biodiverse rainforest.Founded in the 17th century, the city prospered during the rubber boom, which funded the construction of striking landmarks. Picture Belle Époque architecture bathed in the warm glow of a Brazilian sunset. The city’s most fascinating building is the Amazon Theatre, an opulent opera house crowned by a distinctive yellow dome, constructed from 36,000 tiles imported from Alsace.Another major draw is the chance to see the Meeting of the Waters, where the dark currents of the Rio Negro flow side by side with the pale, sandy-coloured Amazon River for miles, creating an eye-popping visual contrast.

Day 15

Parintins

Day 16

Alter do Chão

Day 17

Days 18-19

Day 20

Bridgetown

It's time to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Bridgetown's historic center, where local points of interest are peppered between national wonders. Wander along Broad Street, the bustling main thoroughfare lined with shops, cafes, and colonial-era architecture. For authentic Caribbean cuisine, head to Baxter's Road, renowned for its street food stalls serving up savory delights like flying fish and cou-cou. Experience the true essence of the Caribbean mantra as you mingle with friendly locals and savor the flavors of Barbadian cuisine.

Superb

Embarkation was the easiest and fastest we have ever experienced. The ship is beautiful. It is light and spacious and full of gorgeous artefacts. Our concierge balcony cabin was spacious and very comfortable, although it would have been improved by better drawer space. The bathroom was probably the most elegant we have had. The balcony itself was very spacious but lacked high backed furniture or footstools. There were two bucket type chairs and a small table -such a waste of such a lovely space. All crew members that we came in contact with were delightful, from room stewards to restaurant staff and the boys who saw us safely on and off the tenders. The young Cruise Director was brilliant and the entertainment extremely good. The food in all the restaurants was excellent. We normally avoid the Buffet on cruises because we hate the fight for tables and the scrummage around the service stations. This wasn't a problem at all on Vista and we ended up enjoying every breakfast and an occasional lunch there.

Food, service and accommodation were excellent. Some of the ports visited were very interesting but a few were limited in things to do, particularly on a Sunday or public holiday and we were unlucky to hit smaller ports on those days.

A great cruise on a beautiful ship. Unfortunately the one place we wanted to visit, Amalfi, was not visited as it was too rough to tender, but we got a lovely day in Pompaei instead. Some of the best food in all of the restaurants we have had on thirty plus cruises. The refurbished cabin was a delight, a glass door for the shower rather than a shower curtain a great improvement. Plenty of space on board inspite of it being a full complement of passengers.

This really was an appalling picture of greed and inefficiency. The ship was lovely, most of the staff were great. Management ( were there any?) we're disinterested. Boarding the ship in Taiwan was a long-winded affair. With a lack of English speaking staff this compounded the meds. Japanese customs were even worse, not helped by the lack of interest by the ship's crew. The excursions were expensive, none were available for disabled passengers. The ones we booked before we left England, were changed or cancelled I wrote and complained over 2 months ago and have still not had the courtesy of a response.
