Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

By July 24, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Venice, visiting Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. 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 July 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.
