Since October, when the government lifted the suspension on cruises, the company leasing the passenger terminal, Pier Mauá, along with the Port Authority of Rio de Janeiro (CDRJ), the port authority responsible for managing the Port of Rio de Janeiro, and other internal and external partners, have made the necessary arrangements and measures to comply with the strict protocols established by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).   

The safety procedures mandated by Anvisa include: presentation of a complete vaccination certificate against COVID-19 and a negative test (RT-PCR taken up to 72 hours or antigen test taken up to 24 hours before boarding); maximum occupancy limited to 75% of passenger capacity; sanitation of vessels; spacing on board of 1.5 meters between different groups; separation of cabins for isolation of suspected cases; prior approval of each ship’s protocols by Anvisa; daily notification of the health situation on board by the vessel; among other preventive actions.  

Rio de Janeiro is the state with the highest number of destinations for cruise travelers. In addition to the capital, Búzios, Angra dos Reis, Ilha Grande, and Cabo Frio also welcome passengers.

MSC Preziosa, Costa Fascinosa, Ocean Explorer, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Silhouette, MS Seven Seas Voyager are some of the cruise ships that will dock at the Port of Rio de Janeiro this season.
