Crossing the Equator: Portugal to Brazil on Scenic Eclipse

Follow in the footsteps of the fearless seafarers of the Golden Age of Exploration, sailing almost 8,000km across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to South America. Discover remote islands, historic capitals and endless expanses of deep blue sea.
Sailing from Lisbon, this unique Cruise Voyage retraces routes taken by Vasco da Gama and Magellan more than 500 years ago when they were charting the New World. This is an authentic ocean journey with just a few ports of call, remote outposts in the middle of the Atlantic and historic cities perched on the rugged coastline. You’ll also get to experience one of the most venerated traditions of sailors, crossing the Equator. With ten days at sea, there is ample time to enjoy every luxury on board Scenic Eclipse. Enjoy up to 10 experiences, sip cocktails in the Sky Bar, be entertained in the state-of-the-art theatre, soak in the Vitality pool and be pampered in the indulgent Senses Spa#.
