Everyone told us Brazil was beautiful... but they also told us it was dangerous. So, is a cruise the smartest way to see this country without the stress? We think so! 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 Cruising can be a safer way to visit Brazil, as ship shore excursions are closely monitored, you have a safe place to return to each evening, and you can easily see many places in the country without complicated flights or car travel.
