1 Arrive Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
While Rio de Janeiro is best experienced during Carnival, in this vibrant city, the party continues for 365 days. Ride by cable car to the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain to watch the sun set over this beautiful city while sipping a caipirinha. Conclude the day with a refined welcome dinner at a renowned restaurant in one of Rio’s charming neighborhoods.
Ascend Corcovado Mountain before it opens to the public to behold one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, the iconic Christ the Redeemer, bathed in the first rays of dawn — an A&K-exclusive experience. After some free time to relax, stroll the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, a 350-acre oasis showcasing some 6,500 species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees. The evening is free to explore, dine and unwind as you like.
Gain exclusive insider insight into the making of Carnival’s iconic parade floats and costumes with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes visit to one of Rio’s renowned samba school warehouses, where you are immersed in the last-minute thrill of preparations for tomorrow’s unrivaled spectacle. Then, immerse yourself in the dynamic street carnival as local experts reveal the infectious rhythms of samba and the high-energy beats of blocos and street bands. Later, step out for an elegant night at the legendary Copacabana Palace Ball, one of the hottest and most exclusive party revels in all of Rio. Receive a handmade, customized mask so you’re ready to take in the glamour in high style, free to groove to the music and dance till dawn if you wish.
Rest up for the party to come with a morning to yourself. Then go behind the scenes as Rio’s cariocas (locals) personalize their own vibrant Carnival attire. Next, brush up on your steps with a samba lesson taught by expert instructors. As evening approaches, head to your VIP box at the world-famous Sambadrome amid the electric atmosphere of the world’s largest parade. Toast your travelling companions as an endless procession of elaborate floats, dazzlingly costumed dancers and synchronized drum corps light up the city streets. Samba the night away, joining revelers in a celebration that transcends cultural boundaries.
After a free morning to rest, gather for a privately chartered boat tour departing from the prestigious Marina da Glória across Guanabara Bay. Listen and, if you still need to party, dance to the tracks spun by an onboard DJ as your cruise reveals Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer and Rio’s waterfront from a captivating new perspective. Later, toast your incredible journey with a lavish farewell dinner at the Copacabana Palace’s renowned fine-dining venue, Pérgula.
