Tango Rhythms & Silver Sands – Buenos Aires & Punta del Este

About this cruise

You sail from Rio de Janeiro on December 14, 2026 and spend 8 nights visiting Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu, Punta del Este and Buenos Aires. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. The ports come early and the voyage wraps with sea days. A good way to decompress before heading home. The route threads through 3 countries along the South America coast: Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. You start in Rio de Janeiro and come back with stories from Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina.
