25 Night Cruise from Rio de Janeiro

About this cruise

Block out 25 nights from April 5, 2027 and let this sailing from Rio de Janeiro do its thing. The route covers Salvador, Praia and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You get off in Kiel, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The route threads through 9 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Brazil, Cape Verde, Spain, Morocco, Portugal, France, United Kingdom, Denmark and Germany. Don't rush through Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which is known as Year-round sunshine on a volcanic island. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Diadema carries up to 3,724 guests over 14 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Rio de Janeiro itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. All told, 11 ports across 25 nights covers a lot.
