Exotic South American Escape – Rio & Buenos Aires

About this cruise

9 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Buenos Aires on February 1, 2027 visits Rio de Janeiro, Buzios, Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu and Montevideo and doesn't try to cram in too much. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 5 port calls start. Colourful colonial towns, long coastlines, and steak that deserves its reputation. Buzios stands out. It's A former fishing village turned chic retreat. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Splendida takes the food seriously, with 6 restaurants to choose from. 2 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
