Joy & Waves – Buenos Aires & Punta del Este

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Santos on February 15, 2026 visits Balneario Camboriu, Punta del Este and Buenos Aires. Ports up front, sea days at the end. By the time you're back in Santos, you'll feel properly rested rather than rushed. Crossing 3 borders through the South America: Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Don't rush through Buenos Aires, which is known as Tango, steak, and endless boulevards. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Preziosa takes the food seriously, with 7 restaurants to choose from. 5 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. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 3 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
