The first Royal Caribbean company-owned office has just opened in Sao Paulo, Brazil to meet the South America cruise market needs. Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara cruises are three brands of the company that will be supported by the office commercially.

Adam Goldstein, Royal Caribbean International President and CEO, marks the even highlighting Brazil as a new place for investment and growth of the company.

"The cruise market in Brazil is one of the fastest growing in the world, and with increased investment and commitment, we aim to accelerate this trend," said Goldstein. "In late 2009 Royal Caribbean International will have two ships - Vision of the Seas and Splendour of the Seas - dedicated to the Brazilian market which represents a significant uplift in available cruise departures. Reinforcing the positive knock-on economic benefits that cruising brings and improving cruise selling awareness are key objectives of my visit to Brazil. I look forward to Royal Caribbean International's expansion in Brazil and in the entire South America cruise market." 

New for the 2009-2010 season, Royal Caribbean International will offer 21 departures of three and four-night cruises from the port of Santos with the 2,000-guest Vision of the Seas and 1,804 guest Splendour of the Seas.
