About This Cruise
The 8 Night South America is a 8-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Splendida. You board in Ilha Grande and disembark in Rio De Janeiro, calling at 4 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Brazil (Ilha Grande), Uruguay (Punta Del Este), Argentina (Buenos Aires) and Brazil (Rio De Janeiro).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Ilha Grande and home from Rio De Janeiro, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 5 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
