Passengers aboard the Desire Rio de Janeiro Cruise will have the pleasure of joining us off the shores of the world-famous Copacabana for a sensual New Year’s treat. Spanning 4 km, this stretch of sand is renowned for both its beauty and vibrancy.

With over two million partygoers attending each year, Copacabana really comes alive for New Year’s Eve as it hosts one of the largest parties on the planet. From aboard, you will witness visitors dancing and singing along the shore as spectacular fireworks are set off over the water.

In the 17th century, it was one of the busiest and most important harbors on Brazil’s Atlantic coast, exporting gold from the interior.

Divers will find great opportunities on some of the many shipwrecks off the coast.
