About This Cruise
The 8 Night South America is a 8-night round-trip itinerary aboard MSC Splendida. You board and return in Rio De Janeiro, calling at 5 ports across 3 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Brazil (Rio De Janeiro, Ilhabela, Camboriu), Uruguay (Punta Del Este), Argentina (Buenos Aires) and Brazil (Rio De Janeiro).
Because it's round-trip from Rio De Janeiro, you fly into and out of a single city and unpack just once. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports.
