Emerald Wake – Santos & Ilhabela

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Itajai on December 5, 2026 visits Santos and Ilhabela and makes every day count. The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. People come back from this cruise talking about Ilhabela: São Paulo's island escape of waterfalls and trails. Around 11 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. Itajai itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. 2 ports, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
