Breathtaking Mediterranean Journey – Athens, Istanbul & Venice
About this cruise
The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on April 25, 2027, visiting Kusadasi, Istanbul, Corfu, Bari, Trieste and Split. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Türkiye to Croatia. People come back from this cruise talking about Trieste: Habsburg grandeur at Italy's eastern edge. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Splendida has 6 dining spots on board, most of them included. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 6 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.
