Southern Sails – Rio & Montevideo

About this cruise

This one leaves Buenos Aires on March 7, 2027 and spends 8 nights visiting Rio de Janeiro, Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu and Montevideo at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. Tango, rainforest, Patagonian ice. South America covers a lot of ground. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 8-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
