Overview

See Brazil from the water and from the ground. This 9-night trip pairs a cruise leg with land nights across Rio · São Paulo · Iguazu, so you wake up in a new port without repacking, and still get proper time ashore at Christ the Redeemer and Copacabana & Ipanema beaches. Cabin, excursions and port transfers are all arranged.

Dec – Mar is the sweet spot for Brazil (Americas), and we plan departures from Surat around it — flights via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, 4★ hotel + cruise cabin hotels locked in writing, and this itinerary from ₹2,60,999 per person on twin sharing.

Explera's Surat desk runs the whole journey end to end — flights, stays, transfers, guided sightseeing, Brazil visa assistance and insurance — with a written day-by-day plan before you pay and a human on call 24/7 while you travel. Every departure is fully customisable to your dates, budget and travellers.

★★★★★
Booked the 9N/10D Rio trip with Explera for our first trip abroad and it was flawless — 4★ hotel + cruise cabin, smooth transfers and a well-paced itinerary. Nothing to arrange ourselves, we just enjoyed.

Nikunj Patel

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Explera planned our Rio holiday end to end — flights, 4★ hotel + cruise cabin, sightseeing and visa where needed, all on one bill. Every day ran exactly to plan. Best travel agent in Surat, honestly.

Shreya Desai

Vadodara · First trip abroad

★★★★★
Our first trip abroad to Rio was better than the photos. The team suggested the perfect hotels and the 10-day route was neither rushed nor lazy. Priced fairly with no surprises at the end.
