Brazilian Coast – Santos & Buzios

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Maceio on December 16, 2026 visits Santos, Buzios and Salvador and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 3 port calls start. Colourful colonial towns, long coastlines, and steak that deserves its reputation. Don't rush through Salvador, which is known as 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 keeps you well fed. 7 places to eat, with 1 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Maceio before boarding. It's a good city to wander. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
