Travel across the Atlantic to Lisbon, focusing body and mind on wellness along the way.

SHADES OF COLORFUL COLOMBIA: A SENSORY EVENING OF DISCOVERY
CARTAGENA, COLOMBIA
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2025
Take a journey back in time at Casa 1537, a 16th-century colonial mansion that will provide an exquisite location for our exclusive World Cruise event. During this spellbinding experience, aspects of every region of Colombia will come alive through color, scent, flavor, movement, and music. Our evening begins with a welcome cocktail in Casa 1537’s beautiful garden, where we will sample exotic local fruit, chocolate amuse-bouches, and shots of world-class Colombian rum, while watching fascinating expert displays of tobacco rolling. Now we will move into the elegant salon, with its chandeliers and 17th-century fresco, for the evening’s main event, an indulgent seven-course menu with entertainment that will take us on a sensory countrywide tour. As we travel from the Amazon to Orinoquía, the Andes, and Pacific and Caribbean coasts, we will dine on regional delicacies and drinks, while watching dancers move to the rhythms of Cumbia, Salsa, Mapalé, Bambuco and more, and marveling at the changing light shows evoking local wildlife and nature. Now it’s time to dance the night away to the sounds of the DJ and a special guest artiste before returning to our ship.
CARNIVAL MAGIC: A THRILLING EVENING IN THE SAMBADROME
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 2025
Dust off your sequins and get ready to shake a tailfeather – when the Rio Carnival comes to town, it sweeps together everyone in its path for a non-stop spectacle of dance, music, color, creativity, and passion. Dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries, the Rio Carnival has evolved over time to become the world’s biggest party, and a dazzling showcase of Brazilian customs and tradition, with samba schools from around the country competing to be the brightest and best on the night. Now is your chance to be a part of this bucket-list event for an experience that will see you dancing ’til dawn. We’ve reserved space in one of the most exclusive camarotes (private boxes) in the Sambadrome, plus a private sitting area in a frisa (private front-row box) by the parade route that gives you all the thrill and excitement of the carnival atmosphere without the crowds. You’ll relax in air-conditioned comfort and feast on five-star food, premium spirits, and Champagne while soaking up the electric atmosphere of the evening. What’s more, the Crystal camarote is the best box in the Sambadrome, offering the finest views in the house as the samba school dancers shimmy past. Watch in amazement as they stop right in front of us to showcase their skills and eye-popping costumes. Whether you are dancing along with them or foot-tapping from the sidelines, that samba beat will pulse through your veins for days to come.
AN EVENING WITH THE GODS ON MOUNT OLYMPUS
ATHENS, GREECE
SUNDAY, APRIL 20, 2025
Travel through the mists of time to the dominion of the Greek gods. We’ve arranged a very special invitation to a Dionysian festival where anything might happen – if the gods so decree. Step through the impressive colonnaded portico of the Zappeion to enter heavenly Mount Olympus, welcomed by drummers and torchbearing priestesses, passing living statues of the awesome deities, to join the merriment. Sip a cocktail to the sweet strains of the harp, then take your seat and dine like a god on the ambrosia and nectar of Greek cuisine and free-flowing wine as the intoxicating revels begin, featuring an Olympic flame ceremony, and traditional music and dancing. All too soon it will be time to return to the mortal world. We will take the scenic route for heart-melting views of landmarks such as the Parthenon to Crystal Serenity to continue our epic voyage.
