Itinerary

nicko cruises Seereise nach Südamerika Uruguay Montevideo Plaza Independencia

Montevideo (Uruguay)

The fact that Uruguay is also called the "Switzerland of South America" has less to do with its geography than with its millionaire density. Strolling through the old town, admiring the monuments and mausoleums on the Plaza Independencia, buying fruit and vegetables at the Mercado Agricola or fresh seafood at the Mercado del Puerto - Montevideo makes it easy to feel good.

Embarkation 15:00 to 17:00.

Montevideo (Uruguay)

Casting off: 18:00

Punta del Este (Uruguay)

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 14:00

The Riviera of South America is as beautiful as its name suggests. Punta del Este enchants with white sandy beaches, azure waters and beautiful resorts. Just behind them grow pine forests, mimosa and eucalyptus trees. But the town itself, with its Ralli Museum of Contemporary Art, the Temple of San Antonio and the Faro de Punta del Este lighthouse, is also worth seeing.

Day 4

Recreation at sea.

Classical singer, TV presenter and successful book author: Hera Lind provides entertainment on board on this voyage.

Balneário Camboriú (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 20:00

Balneário Camboriú wird gerne als brasilianisches Dubai bezeichnet. Neben dem spektakulären Mix aus Wolkenkratzern und Tramstränden können Sie die Gunst der Stunden nutzen, um einen Abstecher nach Blumenau zu unternehmen oder Sie entdecken Florianópolis.

Sao Francisco do Sul (Brazil)

Mooring: 07:00 Casting off: 22:00

Visit one of the oldest and therefore most impressive cities in Brazil. São Francisco do Sul inspires its guests with its more than 500 years of history, which is still reflected in the historic city center. During an excursion to Blumenau and Joinville you will follow the traces of German immigrants who sought (and found) their fortune many years ago.

Paranaguá (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

Paranaguá was founded as early as the 17th century, when rumors of gold in the region began to circulate. The many fortune seekers who subsequently emigrated to Paranaguá are still evidenced by the well-preserved 17th and 18th century buildings in the historic center of town. Visit the bustling market hall and the former Jesuit school across the street, which now houses the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology.

Paranaguá (Brazil)

Casting off: 18:00

Santos (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00 Casting off: 18:00

You can enjoy the best panorama over Santos on Monte Serrat, which you have previously climbed either via 415 steps or with the help of the funicular railroad. In addition to the great view, the city will also delight you with the city aquarium, which is famous throughout Brazil.

Abraão (Ilha Grande, Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

Headlong into an unforgettable adventure we plunge on Ilha Grande. The former pirate and prison island has a turbulent past behind it. In the meantime, however, it attracts not so much feared pirates as welcome sailors. 22 official and almost 100 unofficial dream beaches are 122 good reasons for this. Particularly beautiful is Praia de Lopes Mendes, where you should definitely not only lie on the beach, but also explore the surrounding nature of the jungle, which is difficult to access, on a hike.

Abraão (Ilha Grande, Brazil)

Casting off: 20:00

Paraty (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

The colonial Centro Histórico is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and well worth a visit. Beautiful schooner cruises invite you to swim and snorkel - alternatively, those who prefer to walk can discover the rainforest on a hike along the Golden Trail. The Golden Trail once connected Paraty with Diamantina and would not be called that if everything here did not revolve around the valuable rock.

Paraty (Brazil)

Casting off: 20:00

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

Mooring: 08:00

Besides the carnival, Rio de Janeiro has a lot in store for you. Whether it's Sugar Loaf Mountain, the statue of Christ or Copacabana, everyone is guaranteed to get their money's worth here!
