Minaret & Olive Grove – Izmir, Istanbul & Corfu
About this cruise
5 nights is all it takes to completely reset. This cruise from Piraeus (Athens) on January 4, 2027 visits Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari and you'll feel it from day one. Last stop: Bari. Every morning brings a new view out of the window. You barely have time to get comfortable on board before the next port appears. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Türkiye, Greece and Italy. You get around 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Orchestra has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. While everyone else deals with the January cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
