Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Athens

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Bari on June 6, 2026, visiting Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Sinfonia has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
