Brazil Cruise from Belém to Halifax — 16 Days

Belem, Brazil

Belém stands near the mouth of the Amazon, where river life and city life meet. Begin at Ver-o-Peso, a vast waterfront market alive with Amazonian fish, fruit, herbs and local cooking. Explore the old quarter’s tiled façades and the 17th-century Forte do Presépio, overlooking Guajará Bay. Order tacacá or fresh açaí, and discover a city whose flavors are as distinctive as its setting.

Scarborough

Scarborough is Tobago’s capital, a busy port town with a market, local shops and views across the water. Begin at Fort King George, high above town, for broad sea views and a small museum tracing Tobago’s layered past. Then browse the central market or take a short drive to Store Bay, known for calm water and local food. Scarborough rewards travelers who want history and everyday Tobago before heading for the island’s beaches.

Bequia Island

Port Elizabeth sits on Bequia’s Admiralty Bay, where fishing boats and yachts share a sheltered anchorage. Step ashore into a compact waterfront of cafés and shops, then follow the Belmont Walkway towards Princess Margaret Beach. Bequia’s boatbuilding tradition remains visible in its working yards and local craft. Come for unhurried island life, swimming in clear water and views across the Grenadines.

Roseau, Dominica

Roseau is Dominica’s compact, characterful capital, where Creole life meets a handsome Caribbean waterfront. Walk its streets to find the Old Market, local shops, and the island’s botanical gardens. For a wider view, climb to Morne Bruce, where the city, coast, and green interior unfold below. Beyond town, rainforest trails lead to waterfalls and hot springs, while volcanic reefs invite exploration. Bring comfortable shoes; Dominica rewards travelers who prefer wild landscapes to polished resort strips.

Gustavia St Barths, France

Gustavia makes a polished first impression, but its appeal is more than designer boutiques and superyachts. Swedish rule left its mark in the town’s name and the ruins of Fort Gustav above the harbor. From the waterfront, cafés, galleries and shops sit within easy walking distance, while Shell Beach lies just beyond the center. Come ashore for French-Caribbean style, with history close at hand.

Anguilla Island

Island Harbour is a working fishing village on Anguilla’s quiet eastern shore, where brightly painted boats rest beside the beach. From the waterfront, a short boat ride reaches Scilly Cay, a tiny offshore island known for its beachside dining. Come for fresh seafood, unhurried views and a glimpse of local life beyond the island’s busier resorts. The appeal is simple: salt air, clear water and a village pace.

Hamilton, Bermuda

Hamilton, Bermuda’s compact capital, pairs pastel façades with a sheltered harbor. The island’s daily life unfolds within easy reach of the waterfront.

Halifax, Canada

Halifax rewards visitors who begin on foot, where the harbourfront’s historic warehouses, boardwalk and seafood restaurants meet. Climb to the star-shaped Halifax Citadel for broad harbour views. At the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, exhibits trace Nova Scotia’s seafaring past and Halifax’s connection to the Titanic. Beyond downtown, Peggy’s Cove pairs a working fishing village with a lighthouse set on wave-worn granite.
