Luxurious Mediterranean Retreat – Split & Athens
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 9-night sailing from Trieste on May 1, 2027 visits Split, Piraeus (Athens), Kusadasi, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 4 countries (Croatia, Greece, Türkiye and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. People come back from this cruise talking about Corfu: Venetian elegance in an emerald setting. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. 6 ports, 4 countries, one suitcase. That's the appeal.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
