The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Italy, Croatia, Greece and Türkiye) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. You start in Bari and come back with stories from Italy, Croatia, Greece and Türkiye.
