With Island Cruises you can visit one of the water sports capital of the world, Buzios. This is one of Brazil’s premier destinations and with something like 24 beaches it’s no surprise why.

Island Cruises moor in Buzios which will allow water sports fanatics to indulge in a bit of windsurfing, scuba-diving or anything else water-wise that floats their boat. There are some excellent restaurants in the area too and suffice to say the fish is good!

Sail the Mediterranean in comfort and watch the sun go down in an Island Escape outside cabin. Island Cruises offer various sizes of outside cabins to suit all of their passengers needs.

The more spacious Premier cabins are available on the Flamingo and Golden decks on Island Escape but all cabins are fairly roomy and well equipped. Why not marvel at the sights of the beautiful Mediterranean from inside your cabin as well as outside on deck?

When you sail into Alicante with Island Cruises the first thing you will notice apart from its magnificent Sports Harbour and yacht marinas is that it is a city of contrasts. Modern shopping malls seem to sit perfectly well next to the old quarter, El Barrio.

The architecture is just as mixed but this does not detract from the charm of Alicante. Island Cruises offer various shore excursions to the city so you can explore it at your leisure.
