Horizon Hop – Rio & Montevideo
About this cruise
By March 15, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 8 nights out of Buenos Aires, visiting Rio de Janeiro, Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu and Montevideo, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. Tango, rainforest, Patagonian ice. South America covers a lot of ground. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Splendida keeps you well fed. 6 places to eat, with 2 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
