Brazilian Coast Escape – Buzios & Salvador
About this cruise
Sometimes you just need a few days out of your routine. This one sails from Santos on December 5, 2026, spends 3 nights visiting Buzios and Salvador, and gets you back before anyone really notices you were gone. You get off in Salvador, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The mix of 2 days ashore and 1 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Don't rush through Salvador, which is known as Afro-Brazilian rhythm in a colonial setting. There are 7 restaurants on MSC Virtuosa, so you'd need to double up a few evenings to try them all in 3 nights. Santos itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a December cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 2 ports across 3 nights covers a lot.

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.

Getting there: out to Santos, home from Salvador
This cruise does not return to Santos. It ends in Salvador, so your flight home leaves from there.
