Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town

Hot all year round and with a tropical rainforest extending down to the sea, it’s easy to understand why Rio de Janeiro is known as “Cidade Maravihosa” (“The Marvellous City”).

A day at sea aboard Silver Shadow is an invitation to slow down, savour the moment and enjoy life at your own pace. The morning might begin with breakfast delivered to your suite by your butler, perhaps enjoyed on your private veranda with sweeping ocean views or savoured from the comfort of your bed as the sun slowly rises over the water. Freshly baked pastries, tropical fruits and a steaming pot of coffee taste all the better when accompanied by uninterrupted ocean views. For guests who prefer a more active start, the Fitness Centre offers state-of-the-art equipment and inspiring sea views, while yoga or Pilates classes provide the perfect balance of movement and mindfulness. As the day unfolds, you may find yourself seeking quieter pleasures. The Observation Library is a serene sanctuary where wide windows frame endless stretches of sea, and books line the shelves, inviting you to lose yourself in a story. Others may prefer a more social morning, joining fellow guests for a friendly game of bridge in the Card Room, or browsing the Boutique for elegant fashions, jewellery and fragrances. Lunchtime brings the chance to indulge in Silver Shadow’s varied dining experiences. Perhaps you choose The Restaurant for refined international cuisine with regional flair, or La Terrazza for pasta made fresh on board and classic Italian dishes bursting with flavour. If you prefer something lighter, The Grill by the pool offers a casual setting where fresh salads and grilled favourites can be enjoyed under the open sky. Afternoons are made for leisure. You might head to the Pool Deck, where attentive staff are always on hand with chilled drinks as you relax on a sun lounger or take a dip in the refreshing pool. For a more indulgent escape, the Zagara Beauty Spa beckons with restorative massages, revitalising facials and treatments designed to refresh both body and mind. The Beauty Salon ensures you feel your best, whether you’re preparing for a glamorous evening ahead or simply treating yourself to a little pampering. As evening approaches, Silver Shadow takes on a new energy. Begin with a cocktail in the Atrium or Panorama Lounge, where soft music and lively conversation set the mood. Dinner might mean French haute cuisine at La Dame, Italian specialities at La Terrazza, or the interactive Hot Rocks experience at The Grill. From here, the night is yours to shape. Settle into the Show Lounge for an incredible performance or try your luck in the Casino. For a slower pace, the Connoisseur’s Corner offers a refined retreat where fine cognacs and premium cigars can be enjoyed in deep leather chairs.

Multicolored buildings surrounding Pelourinho Square, narrow cobblestone streets, a colorful market and countless churches make a picturesque and fascinating historic center. Toward the mouth of the bay lies the newer section, with skyscrapers and some fine homes built during the last century. Farther out, at Porto da Barra, are the best city beaches, bars and restaurants. At the mouth of the bay stands the Fort of San Antonio, built on the spot where Amérigo Vespucci landed in 1501. The road along the seafront passes the famous lighthouse and leads to Salvador's new suburbs along a string of golden beaches.

Although primarily known as the island where Napoleon was exiled after his defeat at Waterloo, the fascination with St. Helena goes back many more centuries. Its main attraction may very well be its remoteness, which enabled the Portuguese to keep their discovery of the island in 1502 a secret for the next 80 years. It was this isolated location that the British thought perfect to keep the defeated Napoleon. St.

Walvis Bay, Namibia’s unique maritime and adventure oasis, is a sparkling city on the Atlantic, renowned for its natural lagoon and thriving birdlife.

The scorched desert that surrounds Luderitz means the city’s collection of German art nouveau architecture couldn't look more unusually placed along the Namibian coastline. This quirkiness is what gives the destination its charm. See gangs of playful penguins skipping across the waves, pink flamingos wading by the coast, and dolphins leaping into the air near Penguin Island and Seal Island.
