South Atlantic to Europe – Rio & Barcelona

About this cruise

You won't run out of things to do on a trip this long, but you also won't feel like you have to do any of them. 21 nights from Buenos Aires on March 23, 2026, visiting Balneario Camboriu, Ilhabela and Rio de Janeiro, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. The trip wraps in Genoa, so you won't retrace your steps. 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. 5 countries (Brazil, Spain, Morocco, France and Italy) across the Western Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. 21 nights is long enough to build a routine on board: favourite restaurant, favourite deck chair, favourite people. It starts to feel like a floating village. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 21-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
