Levantine Horizon – Athens, Izmir & Istanbul
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Bari on February 13, 2027 visits Piraeus (Athens), Izmir, Istanbul and Corfu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Keep an eye out for Istanbul: Where two continents embrace across the Bosphorus. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Lirica. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. That's 7 nights well spent.
