Barcelona, Spain
Formerly a sleepy Spanish city, Barcelona has recently been reborn as an eclectic fusion of the modern and medieval. This coastal city exudes European charm and welcomes multitudes of travelers every year. It’s a major destination with must-see architectural gems that date back some 2,000 years. You’ll encounter fascinating examples from the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages, the Modern masters like Gaudî, and many Cataluñian greats. Outstanding art museums can be found throughout the city, proudly displaying the works of world-renowned artists and countrymen, including Goya, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalî, and Joan Miró. For a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center, venture to the awaiting Mediterranean Sea and all the seaside has to offer. Maybe a brisk hike in the nearby forest covered Collserola Hills or the hilltop in Montjuïc with its botanical gardens is the perfect recharge for a rollicking evening in one of the premier party capitals of the world. Round out your cruise to Barcelona dining at a tapas bar and savor a variety of delicious small dishes to share—from traditional Spanish to the more innovative.
Travel Tips
1
Barcelona is a pedestrian-friendly city with plenty of public transportation options. From the Port Terminal, there is a shuttle bus service that will drop you off directly in Las Ramblas. There are hop-on, hop-off buses, bike rentals and plenty of cycle lanes, an efficient metro system, and abundant taxis and ride-hailing services. You can walk, too, but distances between neighborhoods are quite long in the heat. To visit Montjuic for the Miró Foundation and other attractions, take the scenic cable car from the port.2
Souvenir stalls line Las Ramblas, but beware of fakes here. You’ll find much more authentic clothing and craft items in the Gothic Quarter, and quirky, boho fashions in El Born and El Raval. There’s mainstream and Spanish fashion galore around Plaça Catalunya and designer shops along chic Passeig de Gracia. Shop for food gifts in La Boqueria market, and for the best Gaudí-inspired souvenirs, the excellent gift shop at the Sagrada Familia basilica.3
In Barcelona, the currency is the euro. You won’t have any trouble finding ATMs throughout the city. Exchange offices are typically open for later hours than banks, but you will receive a better exchange rate at most banks. There’s not a big tipping culture here, but 5% to 10% is a suitable token for good service in a restaurant. Round up the bill for taxis if paying in cash. There’s no need to tip bartenders.Day at Sea

Tangier, Morocco
From tea and spice markets to Moroccan haute cuisine, caves, museums, and preserved fortresses from centuries past, Tangiers has a great deal to offer. A cruise to Tangier is a great way to discover a cultural history unique to Morocco and much of the region. It’s a place where 20th-century artists once flocked to in droves to create some of their most iconic works. This majestic city is known as “The Door of Africa”, and the beating heart connecting two worlds. This is a can’t-miss destination, and one that will show you its bustling, cultural, and cosmopolitan sides all in one stop.
Travel Tips
1
Though public transportation is abundant in the form of buses, traveling by foot, private shuttle, or licensed taxi is best. Tangier can get crowded with visitors, particularly in the Medina and other central areas. This means walking is often the quickest way to get around. Private shuttles and licensed taxis are air-conditioned for comfort, and many services come with English-speaking drivers, too. Always negotiate a price before setting off.2
For the best shopping in Tangier, you don’t have to go far. Head to the Fondouk Chejra weavers’ market for authentic hand-made woven rugs, robes, scarves, and clothes. Browse exquisite antiques at the Galerie Tindouf, and while there, head for some more local fare at the Tindouf Bazar next door. You will also find lots of great authentic souvenirs at small shops spread all over the Medina during your cruise to Tangier.3
The local currency in Morocco is the dirham. There are ATMs in the city, but many are unavailable after banks close for the day. You can withdraw cash at the ATM located adjacent to the cruise terminal, or exchange currency once inside the old city walls. Cards are accepted in many places, as are Euros, but many smaller vendors prefer cash, so bring plenty with you on these cruises to Tangier. Tipping is common, but usually done by rounding up in small amounts, or leaving 5-10% for good service at a restaurant or following a tour.7 Days at Sea

Salvador de Bahia, Brazil
This capital of Bahia state and fourth-largest city in Brazil was founded by the Portuguese in 1549, and its historic Pelourinho district is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The colorful center of Salvador is like a museum of colonial architecture, with more than 300 churches, including São Francisco, recognized for its grandiosity. The city has an unmatched energy and unadorned beauty, with street festivals breaking out routinely and drums pounding out the rhythms. This is the heart of the country’s Afro-Brazilian community, where the culture of those brought as slaves has been preserved, from music and religion to food and dance. Be sure to experience capoeira, the martial art that looks like dance. Out on the Atlantic coast, beautiful Bahia beaches beckon to bathers.
Travel Tips
1
Salvador has a vast system of buses and a metro used often by locals. Taxis are common in the area surrounding the Salvador cruise port. Ridesharing apps are also available. If you’re looking to go beyond the historic district, you’ll want to make transportation plans via taxi or bus before you head to the nearby beaches, or book a shore excursion.2
The most famous shopping area in Salvador is the renowned Mercato Modelo, which is conveniently close to the Salvador cruise port. You’ll find over 250 shops and vendors selling their wares, including handmade arts and crafts and classic Brazilian souvenirs.3
The official currency of the country is the Brazilian real. On a cruise to Salvador de Bahia, you’ll want to have some cash on hand to shop at smaller institutions or local boutiques at the Mercato Modelo. Tipping isn’t customary in Brazil, but leaving a 10% tip for bartenders and servers is appreciated. Tipping your taxi drivers isn’t a common practice in Brazil.Day at Sea

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Samba on down to Rio, famous for its dramatic landscape and beach culture, easy going except for the four days of frenetic, feather-festooned Carnival. From the summits of Sugarloaf to Corcovado in the national park, there are many opportunities to take in the breathtaking natural beauty of the city. Cruises to Rio de Janeiro are not complete without a cable car ride or walking tour for 360-degree views of Guanabara Bay, the city of Niteroi, and so much more. Check out the activity at one or two of the 23 beaches, including the Copacabana and Ipanema, crowded with beautiful sunbathers and swimmers, and populated by surfers, bikers. Pull up a chair at a Churrascaria Palace, and dine on the delicious traditional regional barbecue of your choice, washed down with a Caipirinha, the national cocktail. Head to the Museu Historico Nacional to explore the fascinating historic relics and some of Brazil’s treasures, like the throne of Dom Pedro II, imperial coaches, oil paintings, and a full-size replica of a colonial pharmacy.
Travel Tips

When you’re getting around in Rio, it can be easy to get lost in this massive city, which is one of Brazil’s most populated. Yellow taxis are abundant in the city, and they’re one of the most popular ways to get around Rio’s sights. Ubers are also available in Rio. Of course, the city has an extensive bus and metro system for skilled navigators. Best of all, downtown Rio de Janeiro is pretty walkable, as well as many of its scenic neighborhoods, so you can leisurely take in the city on foot, too.2
There’s not a lot of shopping near Pier Maua, but you won’t have to go far to find the action you’re looking for in downtown Rio, where you’ll stumble upon standard souvenir and tourist fare or beachwear stores. Every Sunday, there’s a craft and arts fair in Ipanema, and in Santa Teresa, you’ll find a variety of antique stores and vintage shops. Browse the vintage digs and trinkets to bring home a piece of Brazil when you head back to the ship.3
In Brazil, the official currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). You’ll be able to find a currency exchange at the cruise port terminal as well as banks across Rio de Janeiro. Tipping while on cruises to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the same standard you’d find in the United States. Leave 15-20% tip for your restaurant waitstaff, bartenders, and tour guides. Leave a couple extra reais for taxi drivers or other helpful staff during your time in Brazil. In general, credit cards are accepted most places you’d go, unless you’re stopping to buy something from a vendor along the beach.2 Days at Sea

Travel Tips
1
There’s little public transportation in the area near the cruise port, and the most popular way to explore beyond the city center is to take a taxi. When you depart from your Montevideo cruise ship, however, you’ll find it’s just a short, five-minute walk to the center of town, called the Ciudad Vieja. Most cruise passengers stay close to the pier for the day or book excursions with transportation included.2

The official currency is the Uruguay peso, and ATMs are readily available throughout the city. U.S. dollars and credit cards are also commonly accepted in Montevideo. In terms of tipping while in Uruguay, the norm is to leave a 10% tip at restaurants and leave about five pesos for your taxi driver, particularly if they take you from one side of town to another.Buenos Aires, Argentina
The capital of Argentina throbs with creative energy. In this melting pot of cultures—native American, Spanish colonial, Italian, French, British, and more—the local Porteños greet you warmly with a kiss.

Find clothing, jewelry, and art at lavish Galerías Pacifico, near the port, or browse the fashionable Recoleta quarter for exclusive boutiques. Shop elegant Calle Florida, bustling with bustling with office workers by day and street performers at night. Look for native leather, antiques, and crafts.

Travel Tips
1
Walking is the best way to get around the heart of the city, the center of which is laid out in a grid system. A free public bike system is also a good option for those who enjoy exploring on two wheels. The quick and efficient Subte, or underground metro system, is reasonably efficient, but can get very hot in summer. The city also has an efficient bus network and an abundance of black-and-yellow taxis, which can be hailed on the street. Your Uber app will work here, too.2
There’s a reason Buenos Aires is dubbed the “Paris of South America”; shoppers will be in paradise here. Things to buy include leather goods, jewelry, ornate mate gourds, silver bombillas for drinking yerba mate, jars of dulce de leche, and fine Argentinian wines. Some of the best shopping areas include upscale Recoleta for designer clothing, San Telmo for vintage, and the ornately frescoed Galerías Pacifico, a stylish mall with an inviting food court.3
The currency of the region is the Argentine peso. In Buenos Aires, most places will accept credit cards, although there might be a fee for each transaction. Often, paying with cash is better. If you pay with U.S. dollars, you’ll be given change in pesos, so check it carefully. There are ATMs all over the city. Argentina has a moderate tipping culture, although it’s always better to tip in cash rather than trying to round up the bill. Tip 10% in a restaurant for good service, and offer the equivalent of $5 to $10 per person to a good guide. You could round up the bill for a kind taxi driver, but remember that a few pesos is practically worthless; work it out by percentage instead and leave 5% to 10%.Celebrity Equinox
