Legendary Voyages – Athens, Istanbul & Venice

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 9 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on May 6, 2026, visiting Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu, Bari, Trieste and Katakolon. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Türkiye, Greece and Italy. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Keep an eye out for Katakolon: Gateway to ancient Olympia. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Fantasia takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 2 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. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 9 nights well spent.
