Tango & Samba Swell – Buenos Aires & Punta del Este
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Rio de Janeiro on December 22, 2026 visits Ilhabela, Balneario Camboriu, Punta del Este and Buenos Aires. The 3 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. It's a proper South America tour: 3 countries, from Brazil to Argentina. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Buenos Aires, Tango, steak, and endless boulevards. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. A December sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
