Trying to get to Rio WITHOUT FLYING

[jojo123]

I don't like flying and I didn't enjoy my last flight BA-Rio. Time is no problem for me. I'd like to know if anyone has experience taking buses there, or maybe even a boat, or any other way.
Thanks.

A lot of people do it by bus. It is a long trip though ( 30 hs aprox ) http://www.crucerodelnorte.com.ar/cn/ the price is around 450$

It's not about price I'm willing to pay more for a boat if anyone knows that.
Flying sucks.

A few of the cruise lines are going between baires and Rio this spring and summer, although it looks like most are doing it in reverse, starting in Rio.

Holland America's Veendam is making the run in early December. Although the cruise is officially between Santiago and Rio, you might call them to see if you could book just the last days. Same for the Star Princess in late December, on a cruise that originates in LA (!) Probably others as well.
