Top sights & attractions for cruises to rio de janeiro, tijuca national park.

A jungle in the middle of urban Rio, Tijuca National Park was almost completely destroyed before the residents and locals of Rio realized what a paradise they had on their hands and replanted the entire rainforest to protect the area. Scale the park’s incredible panoramic hiking trails. Don’t forget to stop and admire one of the several tropical waterfalls within the park. The summer is the rainy season, so be sure to wear rain-resistant, hardy shoes.

Christ the Redeemer

You can’t miss Rio’s instantly recognizable monument of Christ the Redeemer, which has been immortalized in photography, film, and popular culture as a symbol of the city. At 125 feet tall, the statue provides a protective, watchful eye over Rio. You can hike the steps to the top if you’re craving a physical challenge, or you can take the funicular, or cable car, to the summit.

Ipanema Beach

Ipanema Beach has been the subject of famous songs and attracts thousands of visitors to its shore every year. This beach is an institution of Rio and embodies the city’s laid-back spirit. Lay out your beach towel or take a dip in the waters. You can easily spend a whole day at Ipanema Beach chatting with locals at nearby cafes or simply lounging beachside.

Copacabana Beach

Rio is a beach-lover’s paradise, and Copacabana Beach is one of its most famous. With over 2.5 miles of beach to enjoy, you can take a long walk down the shoreline, stay for a sunset, and then head on to beachy bars and restaurants for an evening of dancing, drinks, and delicious food.

Within Tijuca National Park, outdoorists and hikers can’t miss the chance to hike Corcovado, also known as the “humpback” mountain. Climbers are welcome to scale its impressive heights, but should know it’s a full day’s challenge. At the summit stands Christ the Redeemer in all its glory.

Top things to do in rio de janeiro, take a cable car up sugarloaf mountain.

For an unforgettable view, take a cable car up to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. It’s a must-do in Rio for a sighting of Christ the Redeemer glittering in the distance. Plus, you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of the city from the top. Get there earlier in the morning to avoid crowds, or plan to go around dusk to experience the beautiful sunset.

Smell the Roses at the Botanical Garden

When you need a break from the city’s bustle, spend an afternoon at the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden and see thousands of varieties of tropical palms and orchids. A guided tour is one of the best ways to learn the history of the 19th century garden and stand in the shadow of the beautiful Corcovado Mountain.

Tour La Lapa

For nightlife in Rio, head to the neighborhood of La Lapa, where bars with live music line every block. During the day, Feira Rio Antigo offers shopping and antiques from vintage clothing to furniture. In La Lapa, nightclubs, bar crawls, and lively dance halls make the neighborhood a fun and bohemian night out in Rio. For a taste of what Rio is like during the annual Carnival, La Lapa is a good start.

Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Rio De Janeiro Cruise Port

Espirito Santa

Address: R. Alm Alexandrino, 264 Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro

Chef Natasha Fink takes Amazonian food and local produce very seriously at Espirito Santa, a romantic spot where brightly painted walls and black-and-white floors make for a perfect Rio date night. Seafood dishes are a must here, from the marinated shrimp to tilapia, while the slow-roasted pork ribs are a favorite for meat eaters. Top off the night with a banana meringue.

Bar do Momo

Address: R. Gal. Espírito Santo Cardoso, 50, Rio de Janeiro

Burger lovers, look no further than this loved-by-locals burger bar, where huge portions of grilled meat and melted cheddar cheese provide the ultimate comfort food for the hungover, the hungry, and the adventurous. A burger and a few rounds of cold beer make this a refreshing, no-frills stop after a full day of beachy exploration in Rio.

Amir Restaurant

Address: R. Ronald de Carvalho, 55 Rio de Janeiro

After a long afternoon lounging on Copacabana Beach, you might find yourself craving fresh Mediterranean fare, and that’s where Amir comes in. Order a fresh plate of hummus and veggies or the heavier (but delicious) lamb kebab. Stuffed grape leaves and shawarma await for a bold lunch and a break from Brazilian cuisine.

Confeitaria Colombo

Address: R. Gonçalves Dias, 32 - Centro, Rio de Janeiro

Located in a historic, high-ceiling, colonial-era building, Confeitaria Colombo is a step back in time. The cafe and restaurant have been there for over 100 years, and the bakery offers delicious confections along with traditional tea time services in Rio. You’ll find every type of sweet or savory pastry you can think of when you stop in for a snack and some well-deserved time off your traveling feet.

Culture & History of the Rio De Janeiro Cruise Port

Rio de Janeiro is one of the most visited cities in South America, famous for its hot, tropical climate, its beaches, and its steamy annual Carnival. In 2016, Rio hosted the Summer Olympics, bringing international attention to the city once again. Historically, Rio was occupied by the Portuguese in the 15th century, forever changing the landscape. Before the Portuguese arrived, the indigenous Guarani and Tupi were living in the area for centuries. Today, Portuguese is one of the main languages spoken in Rio. People living in Rio are known as “Cariocas,” and they take pride in their city. The culture of Rio is laid back, where dance and afternoons at the beach are staples of life here.

Rio De Janeiro Port Facilities & Location

The primary port where cruises to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil dock is called Pier Maua. You can easily walk to shops and museums in downtown Rio from there. When you arrive here, you’ll quickly be amazed by the stunning view of Sugarloaf Mountain and other ships in the near distance. Rio hosted the 2016 Olympic Games, and it renovated many parts of the port to prepare for an influx of international athletes and tourists. Most travelers don’t linger in port, but use the pier as a jumping-off point for boat rides to Ipanema or before heading into town for lunch and shopping.

Transportation in Rio De Janeiro

When you’re getting around in Rio, it can be easy to get lost in this massive city, which is one of Brazil’s most populated. Yellow taxis are abundant in the city, and they’re one of the most popular ways to get around Rio’s sights. Ubers are also available in Rio. Of course, the city has an extensive bus and metro system for skilled navigators. Best of all, downtown Rio de Janeiro is pretty walkable, as well as many of its scenic neighborhoods, so you can leisurely take in the city on foot, too.

Shopping Near the Rio De Janeiro Cruise Port

There’s not a lot of shopping near Pier Maua, but you won’t have to go far to find the action you’re looking for in downtown Rio, where you’ll stumble upon standard souvenir and tourist fare or beachwear stores. Every Sunday, there’s a craft and arts fair in Ipanema, and in Santa Teresa, you’ll find a variety of antique stores and vintage shops. Browse the vintage digs and trinkets to bring home a piece of Brazil when you head back to the ship.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

In Brazil, the official currency is the Brazilian real (BRL). You’ll be able to find a currency exchange at the cruise port terminal as well as banks across Rio de Janeiro. Tipping while on cruises to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is the same standard you’d find in the United States. Leave 15-20% tip for your restaurant waitstaff, bartenders, and tour guides. Leave a couple extra reais for taxi drivers or other helpful staff during your time in Brazil. In general, credit cards are accepted most places you’d go, unless you’re stopping to buy something from a vendor along the beach.

Award-Winning Brazil Cruises

On a cruise to Brazil, you’ll find warm, white-sand beaches, big-city excitement, incredible historic sites, and Amazon adventures. Sail to bustling, vibrant ports where you’ll be greeted with a welcoming embrace by the hospitable Brazilian people. Get up close to some of the most abundant, awe-inspiring nature that Brazil is famous for.

Brazil cruises will take you to famous landmarks like Rio’s Christ the Redeemer statue and the massive São Paulo Cathedral.

Learn the secrets of the samba dance while exploring the cultural treasures of the world’s most famous Carnival. Find your vacation rhythm and embrace the moment as you embark on a cruise to South America with Celebrity.

Brazil Cruise Highlights

On a cruise to Brazil, you’ll visit legendary beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema, so famous that they’ve inspired songs. Both are a constant buzz of soccer, beach tennis, volleyball, and beautiful people. You can walk along the white sand beach of horseshoe-shaped Ferradura beach in glamorous Buzios, and lounge on urban Gonzaga Beach, near São Paulo. It’s here that city dwellers come to relax and play against a backdrop of ultra-modern skyscrapers and forested mountains.

Beautiful Views

Mountainous Brazil is all about jaw-dropping views. Two of the most famous are Corcovado and Sugar Loaf in Rio de Janeiro; head up either of these dramatic, conical peaks for vistas of the city and its necklace of golden beaches below. You can also find picture-perfect views of Santos and its coastline of golden beaches and verdant hills from the top of Monte Serrat, accessed via a steep funicular railway. 

Cultural Experiences

Brazil has one of the most exciting cultures on earth, whether you’re captivated by sultry samba, the dazzling drama of Carnival, or acrobatic capoeira shows. There’s music and dancing everywhere, as well as a rich indigenous culture. Sampling Brazilian cuisine is all part of the experience, from the tasty black bean and pork feijoada to bolinho de bacalhao, deep-fried balls of salt cod; and caipirinha, a tangy mix of lime, sugar, and cachaça sugar cane spirit.

Featured Brazil Cruise Ports

Rio de janeiro.

Rio is a destination for sun, glamor, and exuberant Brazilian culture. Take an exhilarating cable car ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, a monolithic granite peak with incredible views across the bay and the city below. Gaze at the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado and ride up in the antique train for even more vistas. Stroll along the promenade at Ipanema to take in the never-ending buzz and activity on one of the world’s most famous beaches.

São Paulo (Santos)

São Paulo is a vast metropolis and a fascinating melting pot of cultures. You’ll hear Japanese, Arabic, and Italian spoken, as well as Portuguese. Visit the incredible Museum of Art of São Paulo, packed with priceless masterpieces, and tour the Catedral da Sé, one of the world’s largest neo-Gothic churches. Browse the sprawling Mercadão for local delicacies like Brazilian coffee and pasteis, deep-fried puff pastries with delicious savory fillings.

Brazil Cruise Itineraries

On Brazil cruises, you’ll depart from Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro on voyages lasting seven or 14 days. Choose a more destination-intensive cruise from Buenos Aires, taking in ports in Uruguay as well as Argentina and Brazil. Or opt for a longer voyage that heads north from Rio de Janeiro to ports in the Caribbean and Bermuda before arriving at Cape Liberty.

Amazon River Cruises In Brazil

To cruise through the Amazon rainforest in Brazil is like hitting the reset button – prepare for all your senses to be switched on as you get to the pulsing heart of life on Earth. Brazil holds a vast 60% of this extraordinary jungle, and with so much of the majestic Amazon river to explore it is best navigated on one of our wonderful Brazil Amazon River cruises. Life in the Brazilian Amazon jungle is dictated by the low and high water seasons – the dry season revealing some stunning river beaches and enabling hikes past the rainforest’s giant trees, and the high water levels and flooded forest of the rainy season rendering the wilderness a lush and verdant labyrinth to meander by boat. Brimming with abundant wildlife and endless adventure, an Amazon cruise in Brazil is unforgettable.

Manaus is the starting point for most Brazil Amazon cruises. Itineraries range from 2 to 10 days in length, taking in such highlights as Lago Janauari Ecological Park, Anavilhanas Archipelago , Jaú National Park, and the famous Meeting of the Waters. Further downstream is the city of Santarém , is a lesser-visited but no less spectacular Amazon cruise embarkation point known as the ‘Pearl of the Tapajós’, with highlights such as Alter do Chão, with its Lago Verde (Green Lake) – a huge lagoon home to a myriad of animals explorable by canoe or stand-up paddleboard – and nearby picturesque white-sand island of Ilha do Amor (the Island of Love), which is especially striking in low water season from August to December.

Gulf District Schools Superintendent Jim Norton confirmed that the player who died was 18-year-old Chance Gainer, a wide receiver and defensive back at Port St. Joe High School.

His death occurred during a game on Friday, Sept. 6, at Liberty County High School.

After collapsing, Gainer was tended to on the field but reportedly did not have a pulse when EMTs reached him, according to WJHG , an NBC affiliate in Panama City, Florida.

Norton told the outlet that EMTs were able to get a pulse for Gainer before he was put into an ambulance. He was taken to a hospital in Blountstown where he was pronounced dead.

“The tragic loss of Chance Gainer, a senior at Port St. Joe High School, has left our community in profound sorrow,” Norton said in a statement. “He was a remarkable athlete, a beloved teammate, and an overall exceptional young man who loved Jesus. Chance was quiet but exuded captivating warmth and genuineness that drew people to him.”

Norton spoke to WJHG about Gainer’s athletic abilities as well as his “world class personality,” sharing that he had higher than 4.0 grade average and had recently toured Vanderbilt University.

His statement also included a message from the principal of Port St. Joe High School, Sissy Godwin, who said, “You may not have heard Chance in the crowd, but you could see his smile from across the room.”

Following Gainer’s death, staff, friends and members of the community gathered at the high school. Norton said the moment was “perhaps the most heartbreaking situation imaginable for a family and community” but provided “an indescribably heartwarming experience” having the community embrace Gainer’s family, teammates, and coaches during a difficult time.

“Please keep Chance’s parents — J. J. and Gal Gainer, his siblings and extended family, friends, teammates, and coaches in your prayers,” Norton concluded his statement. “We want the Gainer family to feel that they are not alone in this heartbreaking moment."

Gainer is among several recent deaths in high school football . In August, at least six teenage football players died , and their families are calling for better safety measures.

Last month, 13-year-old Cohen Craddock died due to a head injury sustained during practice after only playing organized football for a year, his father Ryan Craddock told NBC’s Sam Brock. 

That same month, 14-year-old Semaj Wilkins died after he suffered a medical emergency and collapsed on the field during practice on a 90-degree day. His mother told TODAY that her son didn’t have any health conditions that would have led to this type of medical emergency.

The National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research reported that in 2023, there were 16 football fatalities. Three of the deaths were due to traumatic injuries, while 10 were related to exertion or medical issues including aneurysms, asthma, heat stroke or sudden cardiac arrest.

Expert recommendations to prevent death start with proper training. 

Neuroscientist Dr. Chris Nowinski told TODAY, “Every time you hear about a death happening in practice, that was avoidable if we could retrain coaches on how to teach kids to play football without them getting hit in the head so much.”

For other medical emergencies, including sudden cardiac arrest, schools should have an action plan that is reviewed each year to ensure the players get the necessary care as quickly as possible, experts say.
