Come with us as we explore Brazil on the Azamara Quest. In this episode, we take you with us to visit several Brazilian ports—including a stop in the Amazon and the chaotic streets of Salvador. We also experience a bizarre "King Neptune" ceremony at the Equator and end the night with Azamara's famous White Night party. We break down the safety reality, the logistical benefits of a ship, and whether the 'sanctuary' of a cruise is actually the best way to experience South America. 0:00 Intro 0:30 The Amazon & Belem 02:43 Crossing the Equator (King Neptune Ceremony) 04:06 Azamara Officers BBQ 04:98 Recife Brazil 08:37 Azamazing Evening, Recife Brazil 09:37 Salvador de Bahia 14:09 Buzios Brazil 16:01 Azamara White Night Party 17:26 The Rio de Janeiro Tease Find us on Wandervlogs: https://wandervlogs.com/vloggers/@gotravellife65 #AzamaraQuest #BrazilCruise #SouthAmericaTravel #CruiseTips #RetiredTravel #BrazilSafety #SlowTravel #belem #recife #salvador #buzios Is a Brazil cruise the safest way to see the country?
