Royal Caribbean International will expand its South America cruise offerings to four ships when Splendour of the Seas sails out of Brazil for the winter 2008-09 season. Splendour will join Enchantment of the Seas, Radiance of the Seas and Vision of the Seas. “Our commitment of four ships in Central and South America reflects a growing worldwide demand for our signature style of cruising,” said Adam Goldstein, president of Royal Caribbean International. “With the addition of these new itineraries in 2008, Royal Caribbean will visit more than 250 destinations in more than 75 countries on six continents, further solidifying our position as the world’s largest global cruise brand.”
From December 2008 through March 2009, Splendour of the Seas will offer 19 roundtrips from Sao Paulo (Santos), Brazil, ranging from three to eight nights. The eight-night voyages include a two-day call to Copacabana Beach or Salvador De Bahia, Brazil, or Buenos Aires, Argentina. Other ports of call include Rio de Janeiro, Porto Belo, Buzios, Ilhabela, Cabo Frio, and Parati, in Brazil, and Punta Del Este, Uruguay. A 14-night transatlantic voyage aboard Splendour departs Lisbon, Portugal, on March 30, 2009. Ports of call include Rio de Janeiro, Salvador De Bahia and Recife, Brazil; Casablanca and Agadir, Morocco; and Seville, Spain. Splendour’s cruises from Brazil begin at $799 per person, double occupancy, and are open for booking.
