Did you ask this over on another cruise web site too??!!
Brasil - EU nationals do not require a visa.
CAPE VERDE: Entry requirements for UK nationals: UK passport holders require a valid passport. A visa is required unless travelling in an organised tourist group and holding a 'Certificado Colectivo de Identidade et Viagem'. Individual travellers should obtain a visa prior to travel, unless there is no diplomatic representation of Cape Verde in their country, in which case a visa may be obtained at the airport on arrival.
So I would check with the cruise line to see if they have organised this tourist group visa.
And on that 'other' website you are not allowed to post links but I would seriously suggest that you go to http://boards.cruisecritic.com/ and scroll down to the ports of call section to find useful info about your ports. Invaluable.

Well done Auntie! You provided the same link I would have.
The only thing I'd add to this is that there are passengers who never wish to go ashore. I'm not suggesting this for these destinations. However, in the few places where you do require a visa and choose not to go ashore, you are not required to have a visa. The ship posesses a type of 'Sovereignty ' whereby the ship's birthing at a port does not represent entry into the country. I suppose a better way to explain it is being 'air side' at an airport. You've never 'arrived' until you've cleared customs.
Have a wonderful journey. By chance, is it the QM2 itinerary?
Bon Voyage
