Cue the samba music! For the first time ever, a Carnival Cruise Line ship will host a Brazilian carnival – with CarnaBrazil Cruise set to bring authentic experiences to life on board Carnival Conquest. In partnership with Rose Tours, an industry leader in music-themed cruises, and Brazilian Nites, which organizes major annual events that celebrate Brazilian culture, the three-day sailing will depart from PortMiami to The Bahamas on Feb. 7, 2025. The special cruise is currently open for sale here.

CarnaBrazil Cruise will celebrate the vibrant parades and performances that have made the Brazilian carnival famous worldwide. Guests will see renowned artists take the stage aboard Carnival Conquest, including Zeca Pagodinho, Brazil’s “King of Samba,” as well as Roberta Sá, Diogo Nogueira and Pretinho da Serrinha. Monobloco, a Latin Grammy-nominated Brazilian samba band known for high-energy entertainment during carnival in Rio de Janeiro, will also perform.

In addition to spectacular live performances, CarnaBrazil will offer guests an array of other unique entertainment experiences, such as pool parties, samba classes, percussion workshops, meet and greets with various artists and late-night jam sessions and DJ sets.
