The Cruise
Splendour of the Seas embarks from Santos, Brazil on Friday,
April 26, 2014 at 5pm for a 14 night cruise across the Atlantic Ocean to
Barcelona, Spain. She arrives in Barcelona at 6am on Friday, May 9. Along the
way, Splendour makes four port calls, two off the coast of South America and
two on the eastern side of the pond.
First up is Rio de Janeiro just up the coast from Santos in
Brazil. Splendour of the Seas is docked at this party city from 8am until 5pm.
Unfortunately, that means no nightlife but lots of time on the beach.
After a full day at sea, Splendour makes her next port call
at Salvador, Brazil on Monday, April 28 from 9am until 5pm. This city with a
metro population of around 3.6 million is dubbed Brazil’s ‘Capital of Happiness’.
Want the full name? It’s Sao Salvador da Bahia de Todos os Santos...

through the Strait of Gibraltar, Splendour of the Seas arrives at Malaga, Spain
at 12pm on Wednesday, May 7. She stays at this port on the southern Spanish coastline
of the Mediterranean Sea until eight in the evening.
