Ana Castela’s themed cruise packed the MSC Preziosa from Jan 5–8, bringing two headlining shows and a varied Brazilian line-up at sea.

Produced by PromoAção, Ana Castela’s cruise started 2026 like a floating festival and positioned itself among Brazil’s biggest music events ever held at sea. From January 5 to 8, the MSC Preziosa hosted days of nonstop celebration and live music, drawing thousands of fans onboard.

Ana Castela’s headlining sets

As the trip’s host, Ana Castela delivered two standout concerts and reaffirmed her status as one of Brazil’s most prominent current music phenomena. With strong stage presence and a hit-filled setlist, she kept an authentic connection with fans and turned each show into a memorable open-air performance at sea.

Line-up mixed genres

The schedule also featured Maiara & Maraisa, Hugo & Guilherme, Luan Pereira, Léo Foguete, Turma do Pagode and Zé Felipe. As a result, the programming moved between Brazilian country and pagode, keeping energy high throughout the voyage.

Guest moments and women on stage

One of the trip’s most talked-about highlights was Duda Bertelli, who performed onboard and also joined Ana Castela during her second show. The onstage meeting celebrated women’s strength in music, creating a moment of representation and connection that earned loud applause from passengers.

In addition, the ship hosted the Muierada show, bringing together Júlia & Rafaela, Julya e Mariana and Kamila & Kavic. This expanded the visibility of female artists across the cruise’s musical programming.
