from sea to samba

January 4th, 2012

Every year for four days in February, Brazil’s Rio de Janiero is transformed from extraordinary to astonishing. Cars and people on the streets are replaced by enormous floats and elaborate costumes, and so the pre-Lent celebration of Carnival begins. It is by far Rio’s biggest event of the year, with street and beach parties, masked balls, and parades that make other Mardi Gras celebrations look like Memorial Day. Uber-luxe Crystal Cruises has made it possible for you to join in the celebration in some amazing ways! Join Crystal Serenity on her 14-day “Copacabana & Carnival” journey, departing February 6, 2011. While overnighting in Rio, Crystal Cruises can make special arrangements for fully escorted tours, including tickets for grandstand seating, front-row box suites, or luxury VIP sky box suites. Or if an up close and personal experience is more your style, get a costume and grab a spot in the actual parade alongside performers from one of the samba schools!
