Your home for all 12 nights aboard MSC Lirica — so you unpack once and wake up somewhere new each morning.
About This Cruise
The 12 Night Mediterranean is a 12-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Lirica. You board in Venice and disembark in Bari, calling at 9 ports across 5 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Italy (Venice), Greece (Katakolon, Iraklion, Rhodes), Cyprus (Limassol), Egypt (Port Said, Alexandria), Croatia (Split) and Italy (Venice, Bari).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Venice and home from Bari, so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 3 days at sea, keeping daylight hours for the ports. Sailing dates, cabin availability and fares vary by season — use Check Dates & Prices for live pricing, or call our team to talk through the options.
