8th08 | NovNov | 202424 | Devil's Island, French Guiana | ||||
Discarded off the coast of French Guiana, lies an ominous, key-shaped island of sharp rocks and swaying palm trees - Devil's Island. As the site of one of history’s most infamous and feared prisons, the island's reputation as hell on earth was well earned, having been used to brutally imprison, torture and punish the French Empire's most notorious criminals. Closed down in 1953, it now lies in an eerie purgatory, and the sense of unease as you approach it is hard to avoid, with its laden-coconut trees duplicitously waving you ashore. Today, we'll explore a tropical paradise with an intriguing past. Devil's Island was once a notoriously harsh penal colony for French criminals and political prisoners. Previously off-limits to visitors, you can now join a tour to explore the ghostly ruins of the prison that are slowly being reclaimed by the jungle. Spending the day strolling around the old prison structures of the barracks and restored chapel is a highlight, especially for visitors who have an interest in history, including the notorious 19th-century French scandal with Alfred Dreyfus. Visit the museum for ancient relics that tell the stories of the exiled, the escaped, and finally, the aftermath. Back on board Scenic Eclipse, choose to indulge in serene spa therapies or a relaxing Yoga session before enjoying the ambience in the Scenic Lounge. | |||||||

12th12 | NovNov | 202424 | Recife, Brazil | ||||
This vibrant metropolis has a spirit that's halfway between that of the modern cities of Brazil's South and of the traditional northeastern centers. It offers both insight on the past and a window to the future.It was in Pernambuco State, formerly a captaincy, that the most violent battles between the Dutch and the Portuguese took place. Under the Portuguese, the capital city was the nearby community of Olinda. But beginning in 1637 and during the Dutch turn at the reins (under the powerful count Maurício de Nassau), both Olinda and Recife were greatly developed.The city has beautiful buildings alongside the rivers that remind many visitors of Europe. Unfortunately, huge swathes of 19th-century buildings were razed to make way for modern structures. As a result, the center of the city has pockets of neocolonial splendor surrounded by gap-toothed modern giants. Today Recife is a leader in health care and has benefited from significant government investment in recent years, resulting in a boom in infrastructure and construction industries. It's also Brazil's third-largest gastronomic center—it's almost impossible to get a bad meal here.Recife is built around three rivers and connected by 49 bridges. Its name comes from the recifes (reefs) that line the coast. Because of this unique location, water and light often lend the city interesting textures. In the morning, when the tide recedes from Boa Viagem Beach, the rocks of the reefs slowly reappear. Pools of water are formed, fish flap around beachgoers, and the rock formations dry into odd colors. And if the light is just right on the Rio Capibaribe, the ancient buildings of Recife Antigo (Old Recife) are reflected off the river's surface in a watercolor display. Before arriving in Recife, participate in group Fit ball classes for improved balance and coordination or join our juicing workshop and learn how to create simple and nutritious smoothies for a healthy lifestyle. Known as the ‘Venice of Brazil’ for its narrow canals separating islets and peninsulas, Recife is one of Brazil’s most interesting hamlets. This spirited port city boasts more than 50 bridges in its picturesque city centre, which is packed with colourful buildings and marketplaces, so keep your camera handy. Visitors are instantly charmed by the sight of blonde beaches and swaying palms. The calm and clear waters will entice, so we recommend you take a dip in the inviting ocean before returning to your Discovery Yacht. Freechoice: | |||||||

16th16 | NovNov | 202424 | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, disembark the Scenic Eclipse | ||||
Welcome to the Cidade Maravilhosa, or the Marvelous City, as Rio is known in Brazil. Synonymous with the girl from Ipanema, the dramatic views from Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado mountain, and fabulously flamboyant Carnival celebrations, Rio is a city of stunning architecture, abundant museums, and marvelous food. Rio is also home to 23 beaches, an almost continuous 73-km (45-mile) ribbon of sand.As you leave the airport and head to Rio's beautiful Zona Sul (the touristic South Zone), you'll drive for about 40 minutes on a highway from where you'll begin to get a sense of the dramatic contrast between beautiful landscape and devastating poverty. In this teeming metropolis of 12 million people (6.2 million of whom live in Rio proper), the very rich and the very poor live in uneasy proximity. You'll drive past seemingly endless cinder-block favela, but by the time you reach Copacabana's breezy, sunny Avenida Atlântica—flanked on one side by white beach and azure sea and on the other by condominiums and hotels—your heart will leap with expectation as you begin to recognize the postcard-famous sights. Now you're truly in Rio, where cariocas (Rio residents) and tourists live life to its fullest.Enthusiasm is contagious in Rio. Prepare to have your senses engaged and your inhibitions untied. Rio seduces with a host of images: the joyous bustle of vendors at Sunday's Feira Hippie (Hippie Fair); the tipsy babble at sidewalk cafés as patrons sip their last glass of icy beer under the stars; the blanket of lights beneath the Pão de Açúcar (Sugarloaf Mountain); the bikers, joggers, strollers, and power walkers who parade along the beach each morning. Borrow the carioca spirit for your stay; you may find yourself reluctant to give it back. As the sun rises on our final morning together, indulge in one last splendid breakfast. Reflect on the moments shared and the wisdom gained during your voyage of wellness before disembarking in Rio de Janeiro. Take in the vibrant energy of this iconic city, from its famous beaches to its world-renowned landmarks. As you say farewell to the crew and your new friends, carry with you the lessons learned and the personalised wellness experiences that have enriched your journey. From mindful practices to holistic treatments, may these insights guide you towards a life of balance and vitality. Please book your flight to depart out of Rio de Janeiro after 12:00 PM. #Senses Spa treatments and services at additional cost.
