Experience one of the most exciting South America cruise destinations with cruises to Rio
The 31st Olympic Games showcased the fire and flash of Rio de Janiero, invoking the incredibly rich history and cultural heritage of the Brazilian people. From the awe-invoking statue of Christ the Redeemer, arms outstretched to embrace his flock from high atop Corcovado Mountain, to the white expanses of world-famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro is a gem of South America and one of the most fascinating cruise destinations around. Now that the furor of the Games has subsided, it’s the ideal time for taking cruises to Rio to experience the mystery and glamour of this spectacular destination for yourself.
Sheltered under the arms of the UNESCO protected statue of Christ the Redeemer, which has earned a spot on Conde Nast Traveler’s list of the 7 Cruise Wonders of the World, Rio exudes a heady mix of sensuality and exuberance for life that has earned it the moniker of Cidade Maravilhosa, the “Marvelous City”. It’s not surprising that cruises to Rio are some of the most popular cruises for couples, with exciting tango lessons aboard ship and excursions that include train trips through the lush green Tijuca Rainforest, cable car rides to take in the panoramic views from iconic Sugarloaf, and exhibitions of the glitter and rush of Rio’s world-famous “Samba” dance in the clubs of Copacabana.
