Ports
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil
The Marvelous City
Samba on down to Rio, famous for its dramatic landscape and beach culture. It is usually quite easy going, except for the four days of its feather-festooned Carnival.
From the summits of Sugarloaf and Corcovado, take in breathtaking views of a magnificent bay set against a mountain backdrop. Check out the activity at one or two of the 23 beaches, crowded with sunbathers, swimmers, surfers, and bikers.
For lunch or dinner, pull up a chair at a churrascaria and dine on the delicious grilled meat of your choice, washed down with a caipirinha, the national cocktail.
No journey to Rio would be complete without a visit to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer). At the top of the Corcovado Mountain, towering high above the city below, this 125-foot tall statue of Jesus Christ spreads its arms over Rio and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Guanabara Bay.
COPACABANA BEACH, Brazil
Hottest spot north of Havana
Often referred to as “the world’s most famous beach”, Copacabana is a slice of Brazilian paradise. It extends along the residential area of Rio de Janeiro for almost three spectacular miles. And with its combination of lush jungle-clad mountains, historic buildings, lively restaurants and bars, and sun-tanned bodies as a beautiful backdrop, it’s like no other beach on earth.
New Year’s Eve at Copa is second only to the Carnival in the ranks of Rio’s highly developed party culture. Aboard the Desire Rio de Janeiro Cruise, we will welcome the New Year with explosions of color and light. Stunning fireworks will lighten up the sky at the stroke of midnight, as we celebrate the first day of 2021 in the most seductive way.
The wearing of auspicious colors is also a New Year’s local custom: white for luck, green for good health, yellow and gold for prosperity, and blue for peace. So, color coordinate accordingly for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve with us.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not be disembarking at this port, we will be enjoying the festivities, fireworks, special New Year’s Eve dinner, show, and performances from the ship. We will be navigating at 2:00 a.m. on January 1st, 2023.
PUNTA DEL ESTE, Uruguay
City with An Artistic Soul
Fashionable Punta del Este is one of the world’s most appealing seaside resorts. Fashionable cafes and shops line the streets, and an evening harbor-front stroll will no doubt include a serenade by street musicians and entertainers. Gorlero Street is the main street, where you will find a bulk of Punta del Este’s prime attractions, it is about 10 blocks long and easily walkable. Be sure and keep your eyes peeled as you never know who you might see stroll by, it is a popular hotspot for the famous during this time of year.
The town projects an artsy vibe, with a contemporary museum and the Brava Beach open-air sculpture park displaying large works in steel, concrete, wood, iron, and marble. Don’t miss out on the photo opportunity with The Hand, a sculpture depicting five gigantic fingers coming out of the sand. Then, visit the fascinating Casa Pueblo, home of artist Carlos Paez Vilaros, a dazzling white fantasy on a hillside overlooking the town.
After a day out, it’s time to get the party started. Punta del Este is best enjoyed for its nightlife. Day parties start around 5:00 p.m., long dinners with cocktails flowing around start at 10:00 p.m., and the clubs and bars last long past sunrise.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay
Vibrant & eclectic seaside city
Montevideo exudes European charm and elegance, with broad boulevards, fountains, stately squares, and irresistible sidewalk cafes.
The city maintains a low-key atmosphere despite its position as Uruguay’s commercial and political hub, and there are few skyscrapers on the horizon, though there are some surprising contrasts such as an Art Nouveau pedestrian mall, an Art Deco Centenary Stadium, and an American Embassy designed by IM Pei. Most of the nation’s countryside is farm or ranchland, and the life of the cowboy, or gaucho is part of the local lore.
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
The Paris of South America
Welcome to elegant, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, with its European colonial architecture and colorful mix of cultures. Each district has its own style: enjoy Palermo, with its mansions and parks; shop in the chic boutiques of Soho and Hollywood; and soak up the Italian flavor of La Boca, where tango dancers and artists display their talents for passersby.
A visit to Buenos Aires is not complete without a visit to the National Museum of Fine Arts. It is not only a unique experience, but one of the oldest and most respected attractions in the city. From classic to controversial, you will find works from extraordinary artists such as Van Gogh, Degas, Monet, and Picasso.
Be sure to squeeze in a visit to Colon Theater, one of the most important opera houses in the world. Performances on this stage have shaped its world-renowned prestige. The exceptional acoustic and architectural conditions of this building place it withing the top 10 theaters worldwide.
The spectacular Puente de la Mujer (Spanish for Woman’s Bridge), inspired by tango, is a rotating footbridge that was designed by Santiago Calatrava. The white mast symbolizing the man, and the curve of the bridge, the woman. This footbridge is one of the most famous landmarks in the neighborhood of Puerto Madero.
You and your partner can witness much of the city’s history from the balconies of Casa Rosada, from which Juan and “Evita” Perón addressed the masses during the late 40s and early 50s. Dominating Plaza de Mayo, Casa Rosada (the Pink House) is the seat of the Argentine national government and houses the president’s office.Finally, top off the perfect day with an Argentine steak, perfectly grilled over a fire of glowing coals, and wash it down with an excellent glass of Malbec.

Onboard
The fifth ship in Royal Caribbean's popular Voyager class, the Mariner of the Seas carries an impressive 3,114 passengers. It’s also the first time many of our vibrant and youthful-inspired spring passengers will get to experience “The Promenade.”
The Promenade is designed to emulate an upscale European street scene, lined with shops, bars, and a 24-hour cafe (a great venue to snack and people watch). Featuring atmospheric lighting which changes color throughout the day and night, quirky art features and sculptures, the area is also a hive of activity from appearances by the DreamWorks characters during the exciting DreamWorks parade, which includes live music and entertainment like a 70's Dancing in the Street disco party.
The Promenade also hosts a variety of Bliss Cruise Meet & Greets, Bliss Cruise evening themed dance parties, Royal Caribbean Random Acts of Entertainment, and more. It’s the scene of all "lifestyle scenes" (traditionally offered in past November sailings) but we’re swinging with it into the 2024 spring sailing.
The Mariner of the Seas has 3 clothing-optional decks by the Main Pool. There are two pool areas; the Main Pool area, and the Solarium. Both pool areas are located on Deck 11 and both feature clothing-optional fun (except when in Freeport, Bahamas).
Forward on Deck 11 is the Solarium pool. During the day, couples find intimacy without the noise and can share conversations with new friends.
Overnight, and new for 2024, we convert the exterior portion of the Solarium into an additional playroom for our passengers. If you ever wanted to "play under the stars" and without the wind, now is your chance. If the exterior play area is not your style, we also offer a variety of playrooms designed for couples-only, and other playrooms that are accessible to all passengers for fun.

Ports
Day 1 | BARCELONA, SPAIN
LIVELY CITY OF GAUDI
Dynamic and desirable, Barcelona houses both the authentically historic and the wildly bizarre. From scenic trails and romantic alleyways, to beachside nightclubs and the city’s dozens of sacred churches and architectural marvels, this seaside city attracts all types of tourism: the adventurer, the couple, the partier, and the culture lover, each longing to uncover all there is to discover.
Day 2 | MARSEILLES, FRANCE
WHERE HISTORY COMES TO LIFE
2,600 years of history come to life in the magnificent port of Marseille. The Musée des Civilisations de l’Europe et de la Méditerranée is filled to the brim with insight on the culture of this romantic region and is well worth a visit. From there, explore La Panier for souvenirs to remind you of your sensual journey before capping off your day with a glass of pastis, an alcoholic beverage that is a local favorite!
Day 3 | TOULON, FRANCE
A TASTE OF PROVENCE
Prepare to literally be blown away by Toulon, the capital of Provence, as the climate is distinctive for more than 30 diverse types of wind that blow in from all points, and figuratively by the many charms of this ancient port. In Toulon you can find specialties like lavender, wine, and fine herbs at the Cours Lafayette, or head to boulevard Amiral Vence with your lover and jump on the cable car which will lead you almost 2,000 feet up to the top of Mont Faron and visit the Mémorial du débarquement et de la libération de Provence.
Day 4 | NICE, FRANCE
“NICE LA BELLE”
With streets full of colorful buildings, palm-lined boulevards, and a harbor of turquoise blue, you may feel like you’ve somehow stepped into a living painting when you arrive in Nice. Often called “The Queen of the Riviera,” the epitome of Nice’s famous joie de vivre can be found in full swing on the Promenade des Anglais, which features stunning views, especially at sunset.
Don’t miss the opulent Hôtel Negresco, where royalty and high society have held court since 1912, or the art deco Palais de la Méditerranée. To visit the Cathédrale Saine-Réparate, head for the heart of the city to the picturesque Place Rosetti. After dark, the square becomes an open air-dance club complete with dramatic lighting that casts a magical glow on the ancient cobblestones.
From Nice you can take a quick trip by train to Monaco, the city with a reputation that’s far bigger than its mere 0.76 square miles. It’s the kind of place where professional athletes, royals, socialites, and Bond villains (or the actors who play them) rub elbows while searching for elusive lady luck. Come prepared to be amazed by the opulence, by the breathtaking beautiful surroundings, and for some of the finest people watching this side of the seas.
Day 5 | PORTOFINO, ITALY
