Atlantic Drift – Santos to Naples

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from March 7, 2027. This one's 24 nights from Santos, and the route visits Rio de Janeiro, Maceio and Mindelo, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Disembarkation is in Naples. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Brazil, Cape Verde, Portugal, Morocco, Spain, France and Italy, 7 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Seaview keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. One of the underrated parts of a longer cruise: you actually get to know people. The couple from dinner, the group at trivia, the bartender who remembers your drink. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Santos and come back with stories from Brazil, Cape Verde, Portugal, Morocco, Spain, France and Italy.
