Jade Jewel Sea Route – Rio, Ilhabela & Buenos Aires
About this cruise
Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 9-night round-trip sailing from Rio de Janeiro on January 27, 2027 visits Ilha Grande, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Balneario Camboriu and Ilhabela. The mix of 5 days ashore and 3 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. The South America route takes in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Buenos Aires tends to be the one people talk about: Tango, steak, and endless boulevards. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Serena carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Rio de Janeiro before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
