To explore the Amazon and the Caribbean in a single trip in six-star style was Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ aim when arranging this spectacular ‘Secrets of the Amazon’ sailing. It takes us to an array of dazzling destinations in the Caribbean Isles and Amazonian Brazil for just over three weeks and includes a dazzling array of up to 43 complimentary shore excursions and exclusive CountryClubuk rates and a complimentary two-suite upgrade, saving you literally thousands of pounds.
Regent Seven Seas’ award-winning shore excursions explore natural wonders and manmade marvels, immersing us in history, wildlife, culture and spectacular landscapes. Led by professional, English-speaking experts, these excursions are meticulously planned to elevate our experience and maximise our time in each port.
And what an itinerary it is! Not only shall we delve deep into the Brazilian Amazon, exploring for seven full days and seeing for ourselves some of its exotic rarities, from indigenous peoples to spectacular pristine Nature on a spectacular scale. We shall also visit three Caribbean islands, with their white sand beaches, lush rainforests and charming colonial towns and historic ports. Each island nation is very different to the others: Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and Grenada. Plus Puerto Rico and the Bahamas. Not for nothing do we say this is truly the trip of a lifetime!
Club rates for this fabulous 22-night, all-inclusive holiday are of course advantageous. This marvellous voyage is also fascinating and exciting as well as luxuriously relaxing—it is truly the trip of a lifetime, Mariner will be fresh from her multi-million-pound refurbishment, and she will bring you home in early December, in good time for Christmas 2026, refreshed, tanned, happy and ready for the festivities to commence. The itinerary says it all—so please read on, and enjoy!
Day 1 – Miami, Florida. Depart Mon Nov 9, 2026.
Sunny Florida skies, year-round warmth and sunshine, a buzzing nightlife and a mix of cultures define this cosmopolitan city. Not for nothing is this city named ‘Gateway to the Americas’, and it is our gateway to this memorable voyage.
Day 2 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 3 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 4 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 5 – Bridgetown, Barbados, Friday Nov 13.
Barbados is rimmed with mile after mile of pristine beaches. The eastern edge, rugged and hilly, lies on the Atlantic Ocean. The west coast, washed by the calmer leeward sea, has most of the resort hotels. It is here that you will find the capital, Bridgetown, and older colonial settlements. Tour the meticulously restored 17th-century Sunbury Plantation House or admire the spectacular views from Gun Hill Signal Station. Adventures abound at sea by catamaran or Atlantis submersible and on land by an off-road island safari. Not to miss delicacies include the sweet and tender flying fish and Barbados’s famous Mount Gay rum.
Day 6 – Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Sat Nov 14.
Discover colourful Port of Spain with its rich heritage, skyscrapers, lush gardens and early 20th century mansions. Explore The Savannah, a vast 260-acre park and its orchid house. Enjoy a chilled fresh coconut from one of the park’s vendors. Visit the National Museum and Art Gallery, The Red House and The Magnificent Seven, a row of beautifully restored mansions dating from the Colonial era. Admire the clock tower in the Queen’s Royal College. Frederick St. offers fabulous restaurants, galleries and world-class shopping. Look for local artwork, fine clothing and other unique souvenirs. Enjoy fresh seafood, roti or callaloo while moving to the rhythm of Calypso music in this dynamic setting.
Day 7 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 8 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 9 – Macapa, Amazon River, Brazil, Tues Nov 17.
The ship stops here to clear Customs before continuing her journey into the heart of the Amazon.
Day 10 – Santarem, Amazon River, Brazil, Wed Nov 18.
The first settlement in Santarem was a Jesuit mission built in 1661. Today, Santarem is one of the Amazon’s most important trading centres, and is rich in legend and Nature. The town stands where the Tapajos and the Amazon waters meet—the ‘Wedding of the Waters’, a major attraction. The lakes and forests are home to numberless bird species, including white egret.
Day 11 – Boca De Valeira, Amazon River, Brazil, Thur Nov 19.
We travel to experience life beyond the ordinary. Nestled on a 400ft hill overlooking the Amazon, Boca Da Valeria is an Indian village located between Parintins and Santarem. This is an opportunity to wander at leisure through the small settlement or simply relax on board and take in up-close views of the rich equatorial vegetation from the ship. Ashore, you will find log canoes, grass huts and a life of hunting and fishing unchanged since the time of the early explorers. The under-developed nature of this destination means there are no organised tours—which shows just how untouched this destination really is.
Day 12 – Manaus, Amazon River, Brazil, Fri Nov 20.
Manaus, the ‘Paris of the Jungle’, is the capital of Brazil’s state of Amazonas. The former river village rests along the left bank of the Rio Negro, which merges with the mighty Amazon. Carved from the dense jungle by rubber barons in the 19th century, Manaus has become an ideal starting or ending point for visitors to the mid-Amazon region. Riverboats can be taken through the myriad tributaries, estuaries and small creeks, where the richest wildlife are seen. Attractions include the Renaissance-style Opera House and the Customs House, prefabricated in Liverpool, complete with clock tower and known as ‘Little Big Ben’.
Day 13 – Parintins, Amazon River, Brazil, Sat Nov 21.
The small village of Parintins on Tupinambarana Island is situated in the largest river archipelago of the mid-Amazon. Steeped in centuries-old Indian culture, this village celebrates an annual ‘Boi Bumba’ festival. Considered second only to Carnival in Rio, the actual festival is held in June but the townspeople re-enact it for their visitors throughout the year.
Day 14 – Alter Do Chao, Amazon River, Brazil, Sun Nov 22.
Twenty-five miles from the city of Santarém in Brazil is the Amazon River community of Alter Do Chao, named after the flat-topped hill that provides a natural backdrop. This small island is located on the Rio Tapajos, offering quaint cottages along the white-sand beaches lined with leafy palm trees. Thanks to its Indian handicrafts, lush vegetation, turquoise lagoon and amazingly clear water, Alter Do Chão has become a popular destination for travelers. Here again the lack of development means there are no organised tours of this destination—testament to the natural authenticity of what we shall see.
Day 15 – Macapa, Amazon River, Brazil, Mon Nov 23.
The ship stops here again in accordance with Customs procedures before sailing on to the Caribbean.
Day 16 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 17 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 18 – St George’s, Grenada, Thur Nov 26.
After a luxurious week sailing through the Amazon you’ll awake to see the alluring Spice Island of Grenada, with its sun-blessed beaches, lush forests and plunging waterfalls. The capital, St George’s, is the prettiest in the Caribbean, perfect for strolling—and you may opt to enjoy a scenic tour or a spice tour—this is the world’s nutmeg island, after all. Grenada’s natural tour de force is the Grand Etang National Park, which encompasses natural beauties including a water-filled volcanic crater at 1,900ft. Legend has it that the lake is bottomless—but few feel the urge to swim there! Instead you may wish to stroll along Grand Anse, several miles of white sand fringed with palms and hibiscus.
Day 19 – Cruising the Caribbean Sea.
Day 20 – San Juan, Puerto Rico, Sat Nov 28.
Puerto Rico’s first inhabitants were the Taino Indians, who encountered Columbus in 1493. The Spanish quickly settled, defending their territory against the Dutch and British. This is evident by the imposing fortresses of Old San Juan, namely the El Morro Castle, dominating the old section of this capital city. In 1897, Spain declared Puerto Rico an autonomous state. Spain later ceded Puerto Rico to the U.S. and residents were granted American citizenship in 1917.
Day 21 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 22 – Cruise the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 23 – Miami, Florida, Tue, Dec 1, 2026, disembarking for the flight home.
