>> PORT OPERATIONS

Our Port Operations involve:


1) Debark – Organizing the distribution of the luggage inside the terminal, organizing luggage using different colors for different destinations (trucks), synchronizing with ship staff, port and customs authorities the debarkation, checking passenger’s luggage according to his cruise card (in those case of claimed luggage) the fastest and most effective way, use of our well trained staff to help those with walking difficulties, or wheelchairs and help all passengers identifying their luggage, preparing forms to the ship in case there are any missing or damaged luggage;

2) Tailor-Made Shore excursions – Always in communication with the ship a long time in advance, our office prepares all the necessary guides, buses, directional staff, advance staff in the main sights to purchase the tickets before the excursion arrives, offering your guest all necessary support inside or outside the port. In some cases we send one of our key staff to a prior port of call so as to coordinate information days in advance.

Our excursions are made especially for your ship. Besides the regular tours, we also offer a large variety of customized tours, such as gourmet tours, Brazilian dancing lessons, helicopters flights, etc.

3) Pre/Post tours – Many disembarking/embarking passengers wish to enjoy a few days in our city.  We offer many packages that would fit your client’s need.  All these packages will be selected, quoted, prepared and promoted based on your feedback on what you believe is important to your clientele.

4) Transfers airport – port – airport (always using de-luxe coaches with bilingual speaking guides).

5) Embark process – From the moment your guest arrives at the Port, our staff will be ready to receive him at the parking lot or at the Port Entrance so as to provide him a comfortable and safe access to the check in area. Our bilingual, young, dynamic and motivated team - some speak more than 4 languages - is highly experienced in turnaround port operation and check in, either solving client’s problems on the spot or reporting problems up into the chain of command. All the communication is made by radio which helps us identifying and solving all arising issues smoothly and quickly. At the end of the check in, our staff will be glad to assist your guest from the check in to the ship.


We will be very pleased to listen to your needs and prepare you a plan for shorex or turnaround for any of your ships in Brazil.
