Overview

• Embratur has chartered MSC Seaview and Costa Diadema to dock in Belém’s harbor and provide 6,000 beds for COP30 delegates from November 10–21.
• The accommodation plan blends hotels, holiday apartments, converted schools and temporary facilities, currently offering 36,000 beds with a goal of 50,000 by the conference start.
• Delegations from the world’s 98 poorest nations benefit from a $220 nightly cap on ship cabins, while other states may pay up to $600 in later booking phases.
• Belém’s limited existing hotel capacity in the Amazon region prompted this mix of floating hotels and adaptive infrastructure to host nearly 50,000 participants.
• COP30 will convene governments, NGOs and activists under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to negotiate new global measures against climate change.
