Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos
About this cruise
You board in Venice on August 7, 2027 for 7 nights visiting Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Montenegro, Greece and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ancona, Italy's Adriatic gateway to the Conero Riviera. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. MSC Lirica keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Venice before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
