Argentina, Brazil & Uruguay Cruise

Day 1 - Buenos Aires

Arrive: Sat 14 March 2026 / Depart: Sat 14 March 2026 at 17:00

If only one word could be used to describe this vibrant and richly cosmopolitan city, it would be "mosaic." Stroll along these broad thoroughfares, like the Plaza de Mayo, where famed first lady Evita Perón led fervent crowds to petition for her husband’s release from prison, or visit Pirámide de Mayo, the oldest of the city’s many national monuments.

Day 2 - Punta del Este

Arrive: Sun 15 March 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Sun 15 March 2026 at 18:00

If South America had purposely created a place to compete with the Riviera, this would be it. Leisurely browse through the chic shops and galleries of Calle Gorlero, or spend a relaxing afternoon people watching from a beachside café while the assorted sun lovers and jet setters around you enjoy one of the continent’s most storied playgrounds.

Day 3 - Montevideo

Arrive: Mon 16 March 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Mon 16 March 2026 at 20:00

Montevideo is a thoroughly modern city with a rich artistic tradition, the reach of the rural estancias is all around you. If ever there were a time you were inclined to indulge, delicious steaks are the specialty of the house in virtually every restaurant.

Day 4 - At Sea

Day 5 - At Sea

Day 6 - Ilhabela

Arrive: Thu 19 March 2026 at 08:00 / Depart: Thu 19 March 2026 at 20:00

Venture just a few hours from Sao Paulo and you’ll find the paradise of Ilhabela, Brazil, a hidden gem well worthy of a stop on a South America cruise for its dramatic rainforests, top-notch beaches, and notoriously Brazilian energy. Ilhabela literally means “beautiful island,” and living up to the name comes easy to this region. There are nearly 40 beaches in the area, so your biggest task while on a cruise to Ilhabela will simply be deciding which ones to prioritize. Other than that, pure relaxation awaits in this tropical haven. Ilhabela is the largest island in Brazil, and it attracts a variety of international visitors for its premier snorkeling, swimming, diving, and sailing. While many of the top things to do on Ilhabela cruises will center around nature and its many beaches, it’s also a town that stays out late and welcomes a new day in style. Ilhabela offers an unforgettable experience for travelers, whether you stay close to port, venture to a secluded beach, or go scuba diving among shipwrecks.

Day 7 - Rio de Janeiro

Arrive: Fri 20 March 2026 at 08:00

Samba on down to Rio, famous for its dramatic landscape and beach culture, easy going except for the four days of frenetic, feather-festooned Carnaval. From the summits of Sugarloaf and Corcovado, take in breathtaking views of a magnificent bay set against a mountain backdrop. Check out the activity at one or two of the 23 beaches, crowded with sunbathers and swimmers, and also populated by surfers, bikers, and the girl from Ipanema. Pull up a chair at a Churrascaria, and dine on the delicious grilled meat of your choice, washed down with a Caipirinha, the national cocktail.

Home to 17 million people and spanning over 3,000 square miles, São Paulo is the third-largest city in the world. The warm climate and red clay soil surrounding the city are perfect for growing coffee. And with the arrival of the railway in 1867, large-scale cultivation took hold. Today, São Paulo is one of the largest coffee exporters in the world. As the coffee industry grew, so did the need for labor. São Paulo was one of the first cities in Brazil to actively encourage immigration. It has evolved into an exciting melting pot of cultures.
