Famous port in a glorious setting (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famous port' is the definition.
'rio' can be an answer for 'port' (Rio de Janeiro is a port). I am not sure about the 'famous' bit.

'in a glorious setting' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RIO' is hidden in the letters of 'glorious setting'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "- Ferdinand, footballer" , "place of carnival" , "Erstwhile home of Biggs" , "Flying Down to -, Astaire, Rogers film" , "Brazilian city and port" .)
