Swift Emerald Dash – Itajai from Santos

About this cruise

3 nights from Santos, visiting Itajai. It sails November 23, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." With 1 sea days woven in between port calls, there's time to actually use the ship and recharge. Colourful colonial towns, long coastlines, and steak that deserves its reputation. Itajai stands out. It's Santa Catarina's harbour to European-flavoured towns. At 132,500 gross tons, Costa Diadema is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. All in all, it's a solid trip.
