Cobalt Cascades – Mykonos, Syros & Venice

About this cruise

You sail from Ancona on May 22, 2026 and spend 7 nights visiting Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. With 4 port days and 2 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Italy, Montenegro and Greece, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Port time is tight at about 8 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. As for the ship itself, MSC Lirica keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
