9 days, round-trip South America from Montevideo

About this cruise

You board in Montevideo on March 24, 2027 for 9 nights visiting Balneario Camboriu, Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro, Ilhabela and Buenos Aires, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Rio de Janeiro alone is worth the trip, Samba, Sugarloaf, and Copacabana's curve. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Worth booking. That's the short version.
