Mediterranean Grand Tour – Athens, Istanbul & Venice

About this cruise

This one leaves Piraeus (Athens) on June 20, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Kusadasi, Istanbul, Corfu, Bari, Trieste and Katakolon at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Türkiye to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. You start in Piraeus (Athens) and come back with stories from Türkiye, Greece and Italy.
