Merchant’s Route – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

This one leaves Ancona on May 29, 2026 and spends 7 nights visiting Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 4 port days and 2 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. 3 countries (Italy, Montenegro and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Lirica. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
