Barcelona to Rio de Janeiro

2 operators run this water, from 360 h 00 to 432 h 00 — a difference of 72 h 00 on the same crossing. Rio de Janeiro has an airport 1 km from the quay, so this is a crossing you can make one way and fly the other.

Every way across

One row per operator and speed. Where a service is sold as fast and its average does not clear 45 km/h, the word appears in quotation marks — the boat is fast craft, the crossing is not.

MSC Cruises Barcelona → Rio de Janeiro 8538 km crossing 360 h 00 rate not held 24 km/h average
Costa Cruises Barcelona → Rio de Janeiro 8538 km crossing 432 h 00 rate not held 20 km/h average

Where else these quays go

Which months this runs

Season not heldwe can say when we looked, not which months run

Our records for the Barcelona–Rio de Janeiro crossing were read on 11 August 2026 and describe the network as it ran that week. We hold no month-by-month variation, so this page cannot tell you whether a crossing runs in February.

If you are travelling well outside August 2026, confirm with the operator before you plan around it.

What we do not know

No fares. The choice between MSC Cruises at 360 h 00 and Costa Cruises at 432 h 00 is mostly a price decision, and we hold no prices for either.

No departure times. No rate is held for this pair either, so we cannot say how often it runs.
