Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

7 nights, 4 ports, all from Venice on June 19, 2027. The route visits Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona and the whole thing just flows. Port days and sea days take turns, which is about as well-paced as a cruise itinerary gets. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Montenegro, Greece and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, MSC Lirica takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Venice has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. A June departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
