Short Escape – Corfu & Trieste
About this cruise
Some of the best trips are the ones you barely had to plan. 4 nights from Istanbul on November 13, 2026, visiting Corfu, Bari and Trieste, and you're home before the laundry piles up. You wind up in Trieste, so it's worth planning a night or two there. You're in port almost every day, so pack shoes you can actually walk in. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Trieste stands out. It's Habsburg grandeur at Italy's eastern edge. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. And November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All in all, it's a solid trip.

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.

Getting there: out to Istanbul, home from Trieste
This cruise does not return to Istanbul. It ends in Trieste, so your flight home leaves from there.
