Experiencing the Very Best
of South America

8 Days | 2 Overnight Stays

Welcome to South America!

Our 2026 Dave Koz and Friends at Sea cruise is one singular unforgettable voyage through South America onboard the spectacular Celebrity Equinox – where we will take you on a musical journey, exploring some of the continent's most vibrant cities and islands!

We set sail from São Paulo (Santos), Brazil, a bustling metropolis known for its rich culture and culinary delights. Next, we will soak in the breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro – famous for its stunning beaches (Ipanema and Copacabana) and iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer. After experiencing a fabulous overnight stay in Rio, we sail on to discover the serene beauty of Ilhabela, Brazil, an island paradise with lush landscapes and pristine beaches. Our adventure continues to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, where you can stroll La Rambla, the coastal promenade, enjoy the charming historic old town and explore its bustling markets.

Finally, our South American journey brings us to our second and final overnight stay where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Renowned for its tango music and dancing, art, cuisine (a meat-lover’s dream!) and lively nightlife, Buenos Aires is the perfect finale to our musical vacation.

Our 2026 South America cruise aboard the luxurious Celebrity Equinox promises to be an extraordinary celebration of music and community as we experience this incredible part of the world together.  With hundreds of live performances from world-class artists and musicians, gourmet dining, interactive experiences and endless opportunities to connect with fellow music lovers onboard our extraordinary floating home away from home – we simply cannot wait to see you there!
