An MSC cruise will have you discovery this colorful Country, by docking in its second port located between Porto Alegre and Sao Paulo: Itajaí, in the state of Santa Catarina. Founded by the Portuguese coming from Madeira and the Azores, the city is located on the banks of the rio Itajaí-Açú and, being an important export trade point, it is a strategic hub of Brazilian economy. Itajai is also a city full of history, as you will see by walking through its historic center, r... ### Day 3: Ilhabela, Brazil **Arrives:** 09:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM Without a shadow of a doubt, Ilhabela is one of the most beautiful spots on the Brazilian coast between Santos and Rio. When you step ashore from your MSC cruise ship you’ll feel surrounded by nature. Of volcanic origin, the island’s startling mountainous scenery rises to 1370m and is covered in dense tropical foliage. With 83 percent of the island protected within the boundaries of the Parque Estadual de Ilhabela, the dozens of waterfalls, beautiful beaches and azure seas have contribute... ### Day 4: Rio de Janeiro **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM As you’ll be able to appreciate when you cruise the Atlantic Ocean with MSC Cruises, in its position on the southern shore of the magnificent Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro has, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most stunning settings in the world. Extending for 20km along an alluvial strip, between an azure sea and forest-clad mountains, the city’s streets and buildings have been moulded around the foothills of the mountain range that provides its backdrop, while out in the bay ther... ### Day 5: Buzios, Brazil **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM On a peninsula north of Cabo Frio, Armação dos Búzios, or just Búzios, is an immensely scenic resort full of high-spending beautiful people, and a very popular port of call on holidays to Brazil with MSC Cruises. Armação, the main settlement, is built in a vaguely colonial style, its streets lined with restaurants, bars and chic boutiques, and has been nicknamed “Brazil’s St Tropez”. It comes then as little surprise to find that it was “discovered” by none other than Brigitte Ba... ### Day 6: Ilha Grande **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 06:00 PM As you approach the low-lying, whitewashed colonial port of Vila do Abraão in Ilha Grande with your MSC cruise ship, the mountains rise dramatically from the sea, and in the distance there’s the curiously shaped summit of Bico do Papagaio (“Parrot’s Beak”), which rises to a height of 980m and can be reached in about three hours. There’s really very little to see in Abraão itself, but it’s a pleasant enough base from which to explore the rest of the island. Ilha Grande comprises ... ### Day 7: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 8: Paranagua, Brazil **Arrives:** 08:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Inside | $1,253 | | Ocean View | $1,303 | | Balcony | $1,633 | | Suite | $1,803 | ## Cabin Options ### Inside Cabins **INTERIOR BELLA GUARANTEED** (Code: IB) Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available **JUNIOR INTERIOR FANTASTICA** (Code: IM1) Relaxing armchair Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available Junior Interior ( Module 13 sqm - Decks 7-8 ) **JUNIOR INTERIOR FANTASTICA** (Code: IM2) Relaxing armchair Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available ### Outside Cabins **JUNIOR OCEAN VIEW WITH OBSTRUCTED VIEW FANTASTICA** (Code: OO) Window with sea view Relaxing armchair Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV , telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available Junior Ocean View with obstructed view ( Obstructed view - Module 13 sqm - Decks 7 ) **JUNIOR OCEAN VIEW FANTASTICA** (Code: OM2) Window with sea view Relaxing armchair Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV , telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available **OCEAN VIEW BELLA GUARANTEED** (Code: OB) Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available **JUNIOR OCEAN VIEW FANTASTICA** (Code: OM1) Window with sea view Relaxing armchair Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV , telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available Junior Ocean View ( Module 13 sqm - Decks 7-8 ) ### Balcony Cabins **BALCONY BELLA GUARANTEED** (Code: BB) Balcony Sitting area with sofa Comfortable double or single beds (on request) Interactive TV, telephone, Wifi connection available (for a fee), safe and minibar Bathroom with shower or bathtub , vanity area with hairdryer **JUNIOR BALCONY FANTASTICA** (Code: BM1) Balcony Sitting area with sofa Bathroom with shower, vanity area and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available ### Suite Cabins **DELUXE SUITE AUREA** (Code: SR1) Balcony Sitting area with sofa Spacious closet Bathroom with bathtub, vanity and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available **JUNIOR SUITE AUREA** (Code: SR2) Balcony Sitting area with sofa Spacious closet Bathroom with bathtub, vanity and hairdryer TV, telephone, safe and minibar Wi-Fi access available Deluxe Suite Aurea ( Module 23 sqm - Balcony 5 sqm - Decks 12 ) ## Ship Information ### MSC Lirica There is a relaxed atmosphere on board aided by the elegant interiors and unimpeded ocean views from the lounges’ floor-to-ceiling windows.
