Sunlit Seas – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Venice on June 13, 2026 visits Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona. Every port day is followed by a sea day, so you get time to sleep in, use the ship, and look forward to the next stop. The Eastern Mediterranean route takes in Montenegro, Greece and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Of the stops, Mykonos tends to be the one people talk about: Whitewashed glamour under the Aegean sun. Port time is tight at about 7 hours each. Pick your favourites and save the rest for another trip. MSC Lirica keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 4 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Venice before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And June means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
