Marble Promenade – Venice & Mykonos from Ancona

About this cruise

By April 24, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Ancona, visiting Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The pace is well balanced: 2 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Montenegro and Greece. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. When you're not ashore, MSC Lirica takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Couples, small groups, or anyone who wants proper time away will find this hits the spot. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Ancona has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
