Short Ocean Escape – Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon (Olympia) & Civitavecchia (Rome)
About this cruise
A lot can happen in 3 nights. This sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on October 26, 2026 visits Katakolon and Civitavecchia (Rome) and makes every day count. Disembarkation is in Civitavecchia (Rome). The 1 sea days in between leave time for the pool, the spa, or whatever else you feel like doing between ports. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Civitavecchia (Rome), The Eternal City is just an hour away. MSC Sinfonia keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. A strong pick for first-timers. Not too long, not too short, and you get a taste of the routine. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
