Sizzling South American Sojourn – Rio & Buenos Aires

About this cruise

You sail from Buenos Aires on March 6, 2026 and spend 9 nights visiting Rio de Janeiro, Buzios, Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu and Montevideo. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The first couple of days are at sea, which gives you time to settle in and get to know the ship before the ports begin. Big cities one day, Tierra del Fuego the next. The variety is hard to match. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Fantasia has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 9-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
