Itinerary
Day 1

Venice – Marghera, Italy

Following your flight, you will be transferred to the port to board the 4* MSC Lirica.

Day 2

Kotor, Montenegro

Wedged between brooding mountains and a moody corner of the bay, achingly atmospheric Kotor (Котор) is perfectly at one with its setting. Hemmed in by staunch walls snaking improbably up the surrounding slopes, the town is a medieval maze of museums, churches, cafe-strewn squares and Venetian palaces and pillories. It’s a dramatic and delightful place where the past coexists with the present; its cobblestones ring with the sound of children racing to school in centuries-old buildings, lines of laundry flutter from wrought-iron balconies, and hundreds of cats – the descendants of seafaring felines – loll in marble laneways. Come nightfall, Kotor’s spectacularly lit-up walls glow as serenely as a halo. Behind the bulwarks, the streets buzz with bars, live music – from soul to serenades – and castle-top clubbing.
Budva’s got the beaches, and nearby Dubrovnik’s got the bling, but for romance, ambience and living history, this Old Town outflanks them all.

Day 3

At Sea

Day 4

Mykonos, Greece

Thanks to its proximity to the mainland, Mykonos was one of the first Greek islands to become an international travel destination. During the late ’60s and early ’70s, Mykonos was famed as a haunt for the rich. The island’s nightlife – then and now – was a glittering whirl of colored lights, music, and parties. But there’s another side to Mykonos – the neighboring island of Delos. In classical mythology, Delos was the birthplace of Apollo and his twin sister Artemis. Travelers to Delos can stroll among the island’s vast ruins, which include three temples consecrated to the Sun God and the famed Lions Walk. Mykonos town features hip boutiques, restaurants, jewelry stores, souvenirs, taverns and cafés. The island’s famed windmills are found just south of the waterfront.

Day 5

Syros, Greece

Discover the captivating island of Syros, nestled in the heart of the Cyclades. Enjoy a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty during your MSC Mediterranean cruise. As you arrive at the bustling port of Ermoupoli, the island’s elegant capital, be greeted by a charming mix of neoclassical architecture and vibrant local life.

MSC Cruises excursions offer plenty of exciting things to see including:

• Ermoupoli, a neoclassical gem
• Ano Syros, a charming village
• Seaside villages

Discover Ermoupolis on foot! A guided walking tour reveals the city’s charm, from the impressive Customs Building to the beautiful Vaporia quarter.

Day 6

At Sea

Day 7

Ancona, Italy

Ancona hits you with a tangle of commercial buildings only two steps away from the Mediterranean Sea. Nonetheless, a city centre excursion reserves some historical appeal, and the authorities are making a concerted effort to improve the cruiser and tourist experience. A stiff climb from the port area, where your cruise ship awaits your return, passing Ancona’s well-signposted Roman remains along the way, will take you to the pink-and-white Duomo. Mostly built in a restrained Romanesque style, this is contrasted by an outburst of Gothic exuberance in the doorway’s cluster of slender columns, some plain, others twisted and carved.

Day 8

Venice – Marghera, Italy

Following disembarkation you will be transferred to the airport for your flight back to Ireland.
