The MSC Preziosa opened the 2025-26 cruise season at the Brazilian port of Santos on Sunday, October 26, 2025.
Concluding a trans-Atlantic crossing that departed from Germany , the vessel also marked the opening of the national season in Brazil.
Set to be followed by six additional vessels from both MSC and Costa Cruises, the Preziosa is now offering regular cruises along the Brazilian coast.
The deployment started with a three-night cruise that features a visit to Búzios before returning to Santos.
In addition to short cruises, the ship is scheduled to offer weeklong cruises to Argentina and Uruguay during its 2025-26 season in South America.
Other ports of call set to be visited by the Preziosa include Angra dos Reis, Buenos Aires, Balneário Camboriú, Ilha Grande and Punta del Este
