Gaucho & Samba Rhythms – Buenos Aires & Montevideo
About this cruise
This one leaves Itajai on December 19, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Santos, Buenos Aires and Montevideo at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 3 port days and 3 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Diadema: 3,724 guests, 14 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You start in Itajai and come back with stories from Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay.
