9 days, round-trip South America from Rio de Janeiro

About this cruise

This one leaves Rio de Janeiro on January 10, 2027 and spends 9 nights visiting Ilhabela, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Balneario Camboriu at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 4 port days and 3 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Serena: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
