Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Venice on September 25, 2027 visits Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Montenegro, Greece and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Of the stops, Kotor tends to be the one people talk about: A fjord hidden in the Montenegrin mountains. Roughly 7 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. MSC Lirica takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
