20 Night Cruise from Buenos Aires

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from April 5, 2027. This one's 20 nights from Buenos Aires, and the route visits Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Mindelo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Barcelona. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. 4 countries (Brazil, Cape Verde, Spain and Portugal) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Serena holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
