Coastal Odyssey – Rio, Canaries & Marseille

About this cruise

Block out 15 nights from April 1, 2027 and let this sailing from Santos do its thing. The route covers Rio de Janeiro, Maceio, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Tarragona and Marseille and there's plenty of room to breathe between each stop. You finish in Marseille. With 10 sea days versus 5 in port, the ocean is a big part of this trip. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Spain and France. Maceio alone is worth the trip, Emerald lagoons and coral-reef pools. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Musica has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. With more nights comes more time for the ship's rhythm to kick in: morning coffee in the same spot, evening shows, late-night conversations on deck. Santos itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. Worth booking. That's the short version.
