22 Night Cruise from Santos

About this cruise

A 22-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Santos on April 4, 2027 and visits Rio de Janeiro, Salvador and Maceio, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. Last stop: Southampton. The 11 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Brazil, Cape Verde, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, France and United Kingdom, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria tends to be the one people talk about: Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 132,500 gross tons, Costa Diadema 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 Santos before boarding. It's a good city to wander. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
