Ocean Discovery – Bari, Trieste & Split

About this cruise

Clear the calendar from November 5, 2027. This one's 11 nights from Bari, and the route visits Trieste, Split and Piraeus (Athens), with additional stops along the Eastern Mediterranean. By the time you're a week in, you'll have completely stopped checking your phone. Last stop: Civitavecchia (Rome). The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. 4 countries (Italy, Croatia, Greece and Türkiye) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. 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, You won't go hungry on MSC Splendida. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 4 more when you feel like treating yourself. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. A November sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. Good route, good ship, good timing. It all lines up.
