Velvet Waters – Venice, Mykonos & Syros

About this cruise

By July 10, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Ancona, visiting Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It splits nicely: 4 days seeing places and 2 days doing nothing at all. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Montenegro and Greece. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. When you're not ashore, MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. A July departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
