Moonlit Lagoon – Venice, Mykonos & Syros

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 Ancona on July 3, 2026 visits Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros. The mix of 4 days ashore and 2 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. Crossing 3 borders through the Eastern Mediterranean: Italy, Montenegro and Greece. You'll notice the culture shift at every stop. Syros stands out. It's The Cyclades' elegant hidden capital. Roughly 8 hours per stop. More of a sampler than a deep dive. MSC Lirica takes the food seriously, with 5 restaurants to choose from. 4 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
