Citadel Views – Kotor, Venice & Syros

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Ancona on April 16, 2027 visits Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros. The mix of 4 days ashore and 2 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Montenegro and Greece. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Kotor, A fjord hidden in the Montenegrin mountains. Roughly 8 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. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And April is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
