9 Night Cruise from Rio de Janeiro
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Rio de Janeiro on December 22, 2026 visits Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu, Punta del Este and Buenos Aires. The 3 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. It's a proper South America tour: 3 countries, from Brazil to Argentina. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Buenos Aires, Tango, steak, and endless boulevards. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
