Breeze & Blossoms – Corfu & Athens

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Istanbul on December 30, 2026, visiting Corfu, Bari, Piraeus (Athens) and Izmir. With 4 port days and 2 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Greece to Türkiye. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Orchestra has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
