Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Athens

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Bari on April 11, 2026 visits Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Piraeus (Athens), The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia takes the food seriously, with 4 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
