Tropic Meridian – Rio, Lisbon & Marseille
About this cruise
A trip this long changes your rhythm entirely, and that's very much the point. 25 nights from Buenos Aires on March 4, 2027, visiting Santos, Rio de Janeiro and Maceio, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You wind up in Marseille, so it's worth planning a night or two there. It starts gently with sea days, so by the time you reach the first port you'll have explored the ship and actually feel on holiday. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 6 countries, from Brazil to France. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Seaview has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A March departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
