Samba Rhythm – Montevideo to Rio
About this cruise
A lot can happen in 5 nights. This sailing from Buenos Aires on January 5, 2027 visits Montevideo, Balneario Camboriu, Ilha Grande and Rio de Janeiro and makes every day count. You wind up in Rio de Janeiro, so it's worth planning a night or two there. Hardly any sea days here. It's basically port-hopping the whole way. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Montevideo stands out. It's Mate-sipping elegance on the Río de la Plata. Around 8 hours per port on average, so pick your priorities beforehand. At 114,147 gross tons, Costa Serena is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. All in all, it's a solid trip.
