8 Night Cruise sailing from Santos roundtrip aboard Costa Fortuna.

An extremely comfortable and sophisticated Costa Cruise ship, inspired by the great Italian ocean liners of the past: ex, Vulcania, Conte di Savoia, Raffaello...Everything about the Costa Fortuna is dazzling, enchanting and entertaining. The Buffet Restaurant pays tribute to Christopher Columbus and navigation and extends outside around two pool decks. The stern pool can be enjoyed in all weather with its retractable glass roof. The main lido deck will astonish you with its exceptional space and design. And what about the spacious and well-equipped gym, with a whirlpool right in the middle? As if that wasn't enough, the sauna and steam room have views overlooking the sea.

Highlights of this cruise:

Santos
The city centre is a maze of back streets and alleyways, with most business being concentrated around the port. There are more than 400 km of coastline with sand and rocks, small inlets and even an area that looks like a Mediterranean riviera.

Rio de Janeiro
The luxury hotels contrast with the poverty of the favelas (shanty towns), but in Rio it doesn't take much to feel happy: a beer on the beach, music, a jog along the promenade at Copacabana, the Carnival or a local football team victory.

Buenos Aires
Surrounded by impressive natural landscapes, Buenos Aires is a fascinating jigsaw of different cultures, with modern buildings standing side-by-side with the traditional working class and immigrant quarters, and the city offers an abundance of things to see and do.

Montevideo
"Love your guest" is the motto of Montevideo. Lively and fun-loving, the city welcomes visitors with many cultural events, busy bars and clubs, 24-hour markets and street artists.

Portobelo
Ceramics, paintings, wooden craft items, pictures of ships, leather goods, models of ships: in Portobelo, craftwork is an age-old tradition, as is bobbin lace, used by women in the Local Mothers' Club.
