Timeless Mediterranean – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

9 nightsMSC FantasiaTrieste🇮🇹
From $1,275 per person

About this cruise

This one leaves Trieste on September 24, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Katakolon, Piraeus (Athens), Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. 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. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Greece to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.

Where to book

View on official site

The price above matches MSC Cruises's USD site. MSC Cruises prices every country separately, so the others may show something different.

Each MSC Cruises site only sells to people living in the region it serves. Agencies sell across markets, so this fare is often still bookable through one. See who sells it

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.
