Breezy Highlands – Ilhabela & Itajai from Santos

About this cruise

If you don't need a long holiday but still want to get out on the water, this is a solid pick. 3 nights from Santos on March 25, 2027, visiting Ilhabela and Itajai. No sea days at all on this one. 2 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Tango, rainforest, Patagonian ice. South America covers a lot of ground. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ilhabela, São Paulo's island escape of waterfalls and trails. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 132,500 gross tons, Costa Diadema is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
