9 days, round-trip South America from Montevideo

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 9-night round-trip sailing from Montevideo on January 23, 2027 visits Balneario Camboriu, Ilhabela, Rio de Janeiro, Ilha Grande and Buenos Aires. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Keep an eye out for Rio de Janeiro: Samba, Sugarloaf, and Copacabana's curve. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Serena carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 9 nights well spent.
