South Atlantic Discovery – Barcelona to Buenos Aires
About this cruise
A 18-night sailing gives you something shorter trips can't: the feeling that you're not just visiting places but actually living somewhere else for a while. This one leaves Barcelona on November 15, 2026 and visits Gibraltar, Casablanca and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with additional stops along the South America. Disembarkation is in Buenos Aires. More sea than shore on this one, with 10 days on the water between stops. 6 countries (United Kingdom, Morocco, Spain, Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina) across the South America, each with its own character. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Salvador, Afro-Brazilian rhythm in a colonial setting. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. There are enough performances, events, and social mixers on a cruise this length that you couldn't do them all if you tried. And that's a good problem. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
