The MSC Sinfonia has arrived in South America in late November to kick off its 2025-26 deployment in Brazil.

After crossing the Atlantic with no guests onboard, the 2002-built vessel arrived at Santos on November 25, 2025.

Part of MSC Cruises’ five-ship season in the region, the Sinfonia is now offering a series of short cruises departing from the port.

The three- and four-night itineraries feature visits to ports of call in Rio de Janeiro state, including Ilha Grande and Búzios.

Starting in late December, the Sinfonia is also set to offer weeklong itineraries to additional destinations in Brazil, such as Ilhabela and Angra dos Reis.

Guests will also be able to board the ship in Itajaí and Rio de Janeiro for the longer sailings, which will be operated through late January.
