Emerald Volcanic Coast – Ilhabela & Itajaí

About this cruise

You leave Santos on March 21, 2027 and come back 4 nights later with a tan and a few good stories. The route visits Ilhabela and Itajai. It splits nicely: 2 days seeing places and 1 days doing nothing at all. Tango, rainforest, Patagonian ice. South America covers a lot of ground. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Costa Diadema holds 3,724 guests across 14 decks. It's a big ship, with plenty to keep you busy. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Santos has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 4 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
