Navio do Gigante 2027 (Jan 14–17): Lineup and Prices

Navio do Gigante 2027 is Léo Santana’s themed cruise aboard the MSC Divina, running January 14–17, 2027, with embarkation and disembarkation at the port of Santos. The confirmed guests are Ivete Sangalo, Natanzinho Lima, Péricles, Panda and Henry Freitas. Tickets are sold exclusively by PromoAção, which charges a port fee of R$ 1,350 per person (Oct 2026) on top of the cabin fare.

That’s 3 nights on board, or 72 hours, as the organizers put it. If you can’t get a cabin or want to spend less, there are regular ships sailing from Santos the same week, like the MSC Virtuosa departing 01/16/2027 on Logitravel, from R$ 4,864 per person (Oct 2026), without the shows.

🚢 This article is part of the 2026/2027 Cruise Guide: every ship, port and price of the season.

When is Navio do Gigante 2027 and what’s the itinerary?

Navio do Gigante 2027 runs January 14–17, 2027, Thursday to Sunday, departing from and returning to the port of Santos. Embarkation is on the 14th, from 12pm to 4pm, and disembarkation starts at 8am on the 17th, according to the event’s official FAQ.

There’s also a January 17–20 date floating around, which shows up on some travel sites. It’s not Navio do Gigante: on those dates the same MSC Divina sails the Festivalzinho em Alto-Mar, PromoAção’s kids’ cruise, which boards in Santos on the very day Gigante disembarks. Right after that, January 20–23, comes WS On Board by Wesley Safadão, on the same ship. If you buy through the official website, you’ll see the departure with the 01/14/2027 code at checkout.

The port-of-call itinerary hasn’t been published. The organizers say they only define the route close to embarkation, because the shows happen on the pool deck and depend on the weather. On three nights out of Santos, charters during the season usually sail along the São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro coast, but there’s no guaranteed port stop: you’re paying for the party, not the beach.

The sequence shows why the dates get mixed up: there are four back-to-back charters on the same ship, and each one boards on the day the previous one disembarks. Guides for the neighboring cruises are in the Navio Daniel and Maior Encontro do Samba em Alto-Mar articles; the full season list is in the themed cruise calendar.

Who else performs at Navio do Gigante besides Léo Santana?

Besides host Léo Santana, the GG, the lineup includes Ivete Sangalo, Natanzinho Lima, Péricles, Panda and Henry Freitas, according to the official page checked on 10/11/2026. That’s six acts over three nights, mixing axé, pagode baiano, piseiro and samba.

The order of the shows and which day each artist performs haven’t been announced yet. Based on PromoAção’s charter history, the stages go on the pool deck, with the host opening and closing the trip and the guests spread across the nights. Péricles is also on Maior Encontro do Samba, which disembarks on the same day Gigante boards.

How much does Navio do Gigante cost and what’s included in the price?

The cabin price isn’t published: the cabin page sends passengers to checkout to see the fare, which changes without notice. What is confirmed is the port fee of R$ 1,350 per person (Oct 2026), paid together with the cabin and available in installments. The fare is per passenger, with fees not included.

For reference, the Navio Roberto Carlos, on the same MSC Divina and with the same organizer, had inside cabins from R$ 7,158 per person including the fee (fare published in May 2026). That’s not the Navio do Gigante price: it’s just to calibrate expectations before opening checkout.

Included: cabin, all shows, full board (breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner and late-night buffet) and 24-hour service. Not included: drinks (except in the Experience and Yacht Club categories), specialty restaurants, shore excursions, medical care, medication, internet, laundry, photos, salon and massage. Bringing your own alcohol on board is prohibited at embarkation, and alcohol consumption on board is only allowed from age 21, according to the organizers.

The real bill for a couple looks like this: two cabin fares + 2 × R$ 1,350 in fees (Oct 2026) + drinks on board, if not Experience + internet, if you want it + transportation to Santos and, for those coming from far away, one hotel night the day before. The fee alone already adds up to R$ 2,700 for the two of you (Oct 2026).

What cabin types are there and which is worth it?

Navio do Gigante sells nine categories: inside, inside superior, ocean view, balcony, balcony superior, Experience balcony, Experience ocean-view suite, Experience balcony suite and MSC Yacht Club. If you’re going to spend the day on the show deck, an inside cabin does the job; Experience is worth it if you drink, since it already includes the drinks package.

All cabins have a bathroom with shower, air conditioning, TV, safe and minibar; twin beds convert to a double on request. In Experience, the drinks package covers items up to US$ 10 each: cocktails, spirits, liqueurs, wine by the glass, draft beer, soda, water and coffee (rule checked in Oct 2026). Guests under 18 pay a promotional fare as 3rd and 4th passengers in the lower categories, and the organizer’s “Cabin Match” helps solo travelers share a cabin.

A simple calculation helps you decide between a regular cabin and Experience: over three days of partying on the deck, if you have four or five beers or drinks a day, you’ll spend more at the bar than the difference usually costs, and you also get priority boarding and a cabin near the stage. If you drink little, book the inside cabin and buy drinks on board, where the ship sells combos.

Can you sail the MSC Divina or another ship without the show?

Yes. The January 14–17 charter is sold only by PromoAção, but Logitravel sells regular Santos departures the same week and the MSC Divina itself on other dates, from R$ 2,344 per person (Oct 2026). The 01/14 ship isn’t sold on Logitravel because it’s chartered.

Prices are per person, in a double cabin, checked on Logitravel on 10/11/2026. The MSC Virtuosa departing 01/16 is the regular sailing closest to the charter: it boards in Santos two days after Navio do Gigante’s embarkation and spends a week in the Northeast, with a stop in Salvador, Léo Santana’s hometown. The MSC Divina departing 01/29 has the same ship and the same length as the charter, just without the shows, and February and March departures start at R$ 2,084 per person (Oct 2026).

The price difference pays for the programming: on the charter, the show is the reason for the trip; on a regular ship, the entertainment is the onboard theater, with MSC’s own productions. The MSC Divina has the Pantheon Theater, the Venetian Casino, The Garden Pool, bowling and the Virtual World for teens, according to the event’s official website. More ship details are in the MSC Divina guide.

Which port does the cruise leave from and how do you get to embarkation in Santos?

Navio do Gigante leaves from the port of Santos, via Concais, the passenger terminal at Avenida Cândido Gaffrée, s/n, Armazém 25 Interno. The terminal and boarding gate are on your e-ticket; the route, parking and pier rules are in the Santos cruise port guide.

From São Paulo, driving down via Imigrantes or Anchieta takes about 1h30 without traffic. Those flying in land at Congonhas or Guarulhos and continue by car or bus to Santos; during the embarkation window, from 12pm to 4pm on 01/14, it’s worth arriving early, because the line at the terminal grows in the mid-afternoon. If you live far away, sleeping in Santos on the night of 01/13 removes the risk of missing the ship: Santos hotels for the night of 01/13 to 01/14 on Booking are in Gonzaga and Ponta da Praia, along the waterfront, or in the Centro, closer to the pier.

If you have the morning free in Santos before embarkation, the Coffee Museum and the historic center tram are just minutes from the pier. Other departures from the same port are in the guide to cruises leaving from Santos.

What documents do I need to board?

To board Navio do Gigante, each adult presents an original, valid, good-condition photo ID: RG, CNH or RNE, according to the organizers. The trip is along the Brazilian coast only, so a passport isn’t required.

Minors under 18 traveling without their parents or guardians need a two-copy authorization with notarized signature; children under 12 can board with a birth certificate. Babies can board from 6 months old. Pregnant travelers can sail up to 23 weeks, with an original medical certificate presented at embarkation; at 24 weeks or more, boarding is prohibited. At the terminal’s X-ray, drinks, irons, hair dryers, flat irons and curling wands are held, along with sharp objects. The organizers also ask passengers to check Anvisa’s health guidance for cruises before the trip.

Onboard medical care and medication are paid separately, and the public health system doesn’t work on the ship. On a short trip, the biggest risk is missing embarkation due to an unforeseen event and losing the fare, which is high on a charter.

Is Navio do Gigante worth it? Who it’s for and who it isn’t

It’s worth it for fans of Léo Santana and axé who want to see Ivete Sangalo, Péricles and three more guests over three nights, with cabin and food taken care of. It’s not worth it for those who want to explore the coast: the itinerary is still uncertain, port stops are short and the ship gets crowded, with the same show-going crowd.

What nobody tells you: the R$ 1,350 per person fee (Oct 2026) doesn’t show up in the cabin price and gets added to the total; the itinerary can change due to weather with no refund for missed ports; onboard internet is paid; and “backstage package” or “dinner with Léo Santana” sales don’t exist in the official contract, which states that PromoAção doesn’t sell drinks packages, dinners with artists or backstage access. Buy through the official Navio do Gigante website, by phone with PromoAção or through an accredited agency. To better understand onboard costs, see the guide to how much a cruise costs.

Conclusion

If the goal is to see Léo Santana and Ivete Sangalo on the same stage, with Péricles, Natanzinho Lima, Panda and Henry Freitas as guests, Navio do Gigante from 01/14 to 01/17 is the only way: buy on the official website, add the R$ 1,350 per person fee (Oct 2026) and choose Experience if you drink. If the show isn’t the centerpiece of the trip, the MSC Virtuosa departing 01/16 or the MSC Divina departing 01/29 deliver a coastal cruise for far less.
