Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Venice on May 16, 2026 visits Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Montenegro, Greece and Italy. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ancona, Italy's Adriatic gateway to the Conero Riviera. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Venice itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
