Sapphire Drift – Athens, Mykonos & Corfu

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Bari on September 18, 2027, visiting Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, MSC Orchestra has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You start in Bari and come back with stories from Mykonos, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu.
