Drive by the custom house, prefabricated in Liverpool (England) and shipped to Manaus one hundred years ago, the clock tower (called Little Big Ben), the Cathedral and the “Palacio Rio Negro”, the private residence of a German rubber baron and later the Governor's office.

- La Guajira, Venezuela
Breakfast:
Breakfast on board the ship
Morning:
Field Trip "Mount Avila and Spectacular Caracas": With over 4 centuries of history the centre of Caracas is an eclectic mix of gleaming modern skyscrapers alongside original colonial buildings. This tour starts with a visit to Quinta Anauco, a restored colonial country house originally built in 1797 and today an oasis of calm in the inner suburb of San Bernardino. A long and illustrious line of marquises lived here until the death in 1837 of the last Marquis del Toro. The charming house laid out around a delightful patio and surrounded by gardens also welcomed Bolivar on his last visit to Caracas. Today it houses the Museum of Colonial Art and inside the meticulously restored rooms are filled with carefully selected works of art, furniture and household odds and ends from the colonial era. Venezuela's most venerated building is the Panteon Nacional. Formerly a church, the building was given its new purpose as the final resting place for eminent Venezuelans by Guzman Blanco in 1874. Unquestionably the most spectacular view in the Caribbean is found from majestic Mount Avila. Incredible views unfold as the cable car ascends to a height of 2,250 meters above sea level. From this lofty height there are incredible views as you look down on a vast sprawling metropolis where around 6 million people reside in Venezuela's most populous city.

- Montego Bay, Jamaica
Breakfast:
Breakfast on board the ship
Morning:
This morning your guide will meet you at the ship and you will depart for the Historic Georgian Seaport Town of Falmouth. Falmouth is situated on Jamaica's north coast 18 miles east of Montego Bay. It is noted for being one of the Caribbean’s best-preserved Georgian towns. Founded by Thomas Reid in 1769, Falmouth flourished as a market centre and port for forty years at a time when Jamaica was the world's leading sugar producer. It was named after Falmouth, Cornwall in England, the birthplace of Sir William Trelawny the Governor of Jamaica who was instrumental in its establishment. While Falmouth saw little commercial advancement after the 1840’s, houses continued to be built. The town’s buildings, the old and the not-so-old, make up the historic townscape of Falmouth. These shared characteristics weave the varied building styles into a distinctive pattern of early Jamaican architecture, and a critical mass of each variety makes the town an unusually distinctive place.
