5 days, one-way from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Buenos Aires on January 5, 2027 visits Montevideo, Balneario Camboriu, Ilha Grande and Rio de Janeiro and makes every day count. You get off in Rio de Janeiro, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. There's not much time at sea on this one; you're on and off the ship most days. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Don't rush through Montevideo, which is known as Mate-sipping elegance on the Río de la Plata. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. 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. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 4 ports across 5 nights covers a lot.
