Rio de Janeiro

Port Rio de Janeiro is more than a stopover; it’s a dynamic urban gateway where a ship’s bow meets Guanabara Bay and instantly unlocks the Marvelous City’s signature experiences. What sets this port apart is its intimate proximity to Rio’s crown jewels—Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer—paired with curated shore programs that turn a day ashore into a living postcard. Guests can ride the cable car to Sugarloaf for sunrise or sunset panoramas, ascend Corcovado with a private guide for uninterrupted views, and wander the buzzing streets of Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon with insider access to iconic viewpoints, markets, and feasts of feijoada and caipirinha. The port is also a launchpad for diverse destinations—from historic downtown and the Museum of Tomorrow to Tijuca National Forest and the beaches that define Rio’s rhythm—plus evocative day trips to Petrópolis or rainforest towns. Fleet-wise, the terminal blends state-of-the-art berthing, rapid passenger flows, air-conditioned lounges, and sustainable infrastructure to accommodate the newest megaships while prioritizing comfort and efficiency. Onboard and ashore, guests enjoy seamless services—bilingual concierge teams, tailored shore excursions, VIP lounge options, secure luggage handling, and easy transfers that preserve the Carioca spirit from terminal to quay—so a visit to Rio feels like stepping into the city’s most celebrated scenes, not merely docking at a port.
