Breathtaking Aegean Adventure – Trieste, Split & Athens

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Bari on May 27, 2027 visits Trieste, Split, Piraeus (Athens), Kusadasi, Istanbul and Corfu. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 4 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Croatia, Greece and Türkiye. Of the stops, Piraeus (Athens) tends to be the one people talk about: The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Bari itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
