We invite you to gather with fellow guests over a leisurely meal to share stories and celebrate the unforgettable experiences of your journey together. This is your final opportunity to enjoy the spa facilities – indulge in a rejuvenating treatment# or simply relax in its serene surroundings. (B/L/D)

Arrive in Montevideo, Uruguay's vibrant capital city that boasts a rich 300-year history and an eclectic melange of Art Deco and Neoclassical architecture. While its Rambla (beachside avenue) may not be as famous as Barcelona’s, it’s much longer at 22 kilometres and traces the seaside almost the entire way. Most of the city’s streets connect to the Rambla, making Montevideo an easy place to navigate and explore. There’s a collective love for meat, wine, football and celebration, as well as an annual carnival. The longest in the world, the carnival runs for 40 days each year from January to March. (B/L/D)
