Costa Diadema: 3-Night Cruise from Santos (Sao Paulo) - March 25, 2027

You'll have 9 hours hours to explore Ilhabela, Brazil, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. At the same time, the waterfront town offers cafes, boutiques, and seafood restaurants that make wandering a pleasure.

The Costa Diadema will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Itajai, Brazil. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The riverfront is the heart of Itajai, with walking paths, views of passing ships, and a relaxed local vibe.

Your cruise ends in Santos (Sao Paulo), Brazil, where the Costa Diadema is scheduled to dock at 8:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. The city is renowned for its coffee heritage, with the Coffee Museum highlighting Brazil's role in the global coffee trade.
