9 days, round-trip South America from Montevideo

About this cruise

There's a reason 9-night cruises are the most popular length. This one sails from Montevideo on February 28, 2027 and visits Balneario Camboriu, Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro, Ilhabela and Buenos Aires. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Colourful colonial towns, long coastlines, and steak that deserves its reputation. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Serena holds 3,014 guests across 13 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. While everyone else deals with the February cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 9-night sailing is a strong place to start.
