Coastal Odyssey – Brazil to Norway

About this cruise

A 24-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Santos on April 2, 2026 and visits Rio de Janeiro, Ilheus and Salvador, with additional stops along the South America. Last stop: Hamburg. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 9 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Denmark, Norway and Germany. Of the stops, Gijon tends to be the one people talk about: Asturian cider and Cantabrian waves. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Preziosa has 7 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Santos itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
