Mediterranean Marvels – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Bari on April 3, 2027 visits Piraeus (Athens), Izmir, Istanbul and Corfu and doesn't try to cram in too much. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. Don't rush through Corfu, which is known as Venetian elegance in an emerald setting. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Orchestra takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. All told, 4 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
