Costa Diadema begins the 2025/2026 season in South America with routes along Brazil’s coast and the Río de la Plata.
After serving as a floating hotel during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, the Costa Diadema returns to Brazil and arrives at the port of Santos on Friday, November 28, marking the start of its South American cruise season.
The first short cruise departed from Santos in the late afternoon, heading to Itajaí (SC) on a three-night trip. From December 2025 to April 2026, the ship offers three- and four-night itineraries departing from Santos, with stops in Itajaí and Ilhabela.
Starting with the Christmas itinerary, departing from Itajaí on December 20 and from Santos on December 21, Costa Diadema offers seven-night voyages through the Río de la Plata region, visiting Buenos Aires and Montevideo until March 2026.
Special sailings include Christmas, Carnival, and the 21st edition of Dancing at Sea. This themed cruise departs on March 14 and 15, 2026, from Itajaí and Santos, offering a full dance program with daily classes, afternoon socials, and evening balls.
