21 Night Cruise from Buenos Aires

About this cruise

21 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Buenos Aires on April 5, 2027 and the route takes you through Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Mindelo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The sailing ends in Marseille. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 9 port calls start. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Brazil, Cape Verde, Spain, Portugal and France, 5 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. People come back from this cruise talking about Cádiz: Europe's oldest city, still dancing flamenco. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Buenos Aires before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. 9 ports, 5 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
