And this could only be Rio de Janeiro where the carnival pace picks up when the sun goes down. 
South America. 
The world’s fourth largest 
continent. A land of mystery. 
Fantasy. A marvelous melange 
of Indian, colonial, and contem- 
porary European cultures. And 
who could show you South America 
better than the Royal Vikings? 
For we carry you to more ports, 
more places, more pleasures than 
any other cruise line on earth. 
This fall we’ll take you 
down one coast and up the other. 
Through the Strait of Magellan 
and the Panama Canal. 
And though you may not find 
a lost Inca treasure, you may 
indeed return with emeralds from 
Colombia, pearls from Venezuela, 
fleecy alpaca slippers from Peru. 
Or a craving for the delicate 
lan gostinos (tiny crawfish) of Chile. 
You’ll bring home memories 
too. Of sophisticated cities like 
Lima and Valparaiso. Avant-garde 
Buenos Aires. Uninhibited Rio 
where beautiful, sun-bronzed Euro- 
Latins move to a different beat. 
You'll sail on the Royal 
Viking Sky, of Norwegian registry 
and spirit. Our extraordinary 
World Class™ service means 
relaxed, single seating at every 
meal. Double cabins, nearly all out- 
side, that look to sky and sea. 
And a crew that will welcome 
you as warmly as they would a 
Scandinavian summer.
