About This Cruise
The 4 Night Eastern Mediterranean is a 4-night one-way itinerary aboard MSC Splendida. You board in Istanbul and disembark in Kusadasi (Ephesus), calling at 7 ports across 4 countries along the way.
In sequence the voyage takes in Turkey (Istanbul), Greece (Corfu), Italy (Bari, Trieste), Croatia (Split), Greece (Piraeus) and Turkey (Kusadasi).
As a one-way sailing you'll fly into Istanbul and home from Kusadasi (Ephesus), so it's worth checking the two gateways before you book. Longer hops are crossed on the 2 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.
