If you don’t drink alcohol, that’s absolutely fine! Just let us know in advance, and Catarina will tailor the experience to your preferences.

We love pets, but due to the nature of our tours and the venues we visit, pets are not allowed. We appreciate your understanding. Fun fact: Catarina is the proud owner of three little dogs—Olivia, Spencer, and Pequenino (which means "little one" in Portuguese)!

Just provide us with your docking and departure times, and we’ll tailor the experience to fit your itinerary. We recommend booking a tour that ends at least 2 hours before your ship departs or closes check-in, giving you plenty of time to return.
