Legacy of Emperors – Athens, Corfu & Bari

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 Istanbul on January 5, 2028 visits Corfu, Bari, Piraeus (Athens) and Izmir. The 2 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Greece, Italy and Türkiye. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Izmir: Turkey's laid-back Aegean metropolis. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Orchestra takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. A January sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
