9 Night Cruise from Montevideo
About this cruise
If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 9 nights from Montevideo on December 28, 2026, visiting Balneario Camboriu, Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro, Ilhabela and Buenos Aires. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Colourful colonial towns, long coastlines, and steak that deserves its reputation. 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. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
