Brazilian Coast – Santos & Buzios
About this cruise
You board in Maceio on December 9, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Santos, Buzios and Salvador, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Of the stops, Salvador tends to be the one people talk about: Afro-Brazilian rhythm in a colonial setting. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Virtuosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Maceio itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
