Regent Seven Seas Cruises is offering passengers the chance to witness the famous Winner's Parade at Rio de Janeiro's Carnival celebration, in conjunction with a 17-night South America voyage aboard the Seven Seas Mariner. The cruise departs Feb. 4 from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The cruise will call at ports in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, including a visit to Rio de Janiero on Feb. 9 for the Winner's Parade in the Sambadromo (known as the "stadium of samba").

It takes place on the first Saturday after Carnival is complete, and features the top six samba schools from the five-day celebration. Each school presents several hundred dancers, huge percussion sections and floats.
