Mediterranean Marvels – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu
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 January 2, 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. Don't rush through Corfu, which is known as Venetian elegance in an emerald setting. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And a January cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
