Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Renowned for its spectacular carnival and iconic landmarks, and cradled between cascading mountains and the South Atlantic, Rio is among the most breathtaking harbour cities in the world.
In 2025 Queen Victoria will embark on an extraordinary voyage in South America. Join for this remarkable adventure, and soon find yourself paddling in the warm shallows of Caribbean Island seas, taking endless photos of Rio de Janeiro’s skyline or sampling exquisite steaks in Buenos Aires. Each day brings untold possibilities, whether you’re in port exploring a new destination, or on board revelling in all your Cunard Queen has to offer.
Join Queen Anne as she sails to South America, including many maiden ports for the ship. What little anecdotes could fill your postcard? Perhaps all the elaborate costumes you saw at Carnival, during an epic night over in Rio? You could make the most of your route and take time to see Machu Picchu on an overland adventure. Or you could simply bask in all the sights and sounds you sail past, along South America's ineffable coast.
Vibrant rainforest, icy glaciers and crumbling colonial towns. South America thrives with spirit, soul and passion. A continent abundant with natural wonder, where life beats to its own drum.
