Brazil Departure & port-visit guide
Jaraguá history, a coastal pause or city craft stalls
Confirm the permitted passenger exit and any shuttle at Maceió’s working port. The port authority lists passenger-terminal infrastructure; neighbouring public waterfront projects are not proof of a walking route through port gates.
Option 1
Choose a plan for the stops, food, walking and extra costs. Before sailing, arrange luggage storage and follow your cruise line’s check-in window and final boarding deadline. On a port call, use the ship’s all-aboard time to set your return.

Local tip
Raft departures are a different outing. The city’s raft rules distinguish sightseeing activity at Pajuçara from fishing use elsewhere. Seeing the rafts does not make a natural-pool trip part of this landside visit.

Mercado do Artesanato, Levada: visitor informationOn embarkation day, work back from your cruise line’s check-in window instead. Count from when you can get off the ship, or ashore by tender, to the all-aboard time, using ship time. Times on these plans are our estimates, with time to spare; they cannot promise a plan fits your sailing.
Short plans need up to 4 hours in total, medium up to 6, long more than 6. A plan with a connection still to confirm has no total.

Save your terminal name, return deadline and ship’s emergency contact offline.
