Ocean Discovery – Trieste, Katakolon (Olympia) & Piraeus (Athens)
About this cruise
No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 9-night sailing from Bari on May 27, 2027 visits Trieste, Katakolon, Piraeus (Athens), Kusadasi, Istanbul and Corfu. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Greece and Türkiye. Of the stops, Piraeus (Athens) tends to be the one people talk about: The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Splendida has 6 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Bari itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.

We added MSC Cruises's mandatory service charge to the prices above, so they show the real total. MSC Cruises bills it on board rather than in the fare, so their own site will quote you less.
