South Atlantic to Adriatic – Rio & Rome

About this cruise

21 nights starts to feel like a proper adventure. You leave Buenos Aires on March 31, 2027 and the route takes you through Rio de Janeiro, Maceio and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean at a pace where there's never any need to rush. The trip wraps in Bari, so you won't retrace your steps. You ease into this one, with a few sea days up front to find your rhythm before the 8 port calls start. The route threads through 5 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Brazil, Spain, France, Italy and Greece. Keep an eye out for Civitavecchia (Rome): The Eternal City is just an hour away. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The longer time on board means you'll catch several shows, themed nights, and start feeling like a regular at your favourite bar. Buenos Aires itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 21 nights well spent.
