11 Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise aboard the MSC Lirica

Share

Step aboard the MSC Lirica and prepare for eleven nights of leisurely sailing around the Mediterranean from Venice and back!

This sailing is particularly exciting because you'll only visit very uncommon ports like Port Said, Limassol, and Alexandria. This route is an interesting one for the Lirica.

With a cost of less than $145 per day, this is a good value. This price is the total you pay, no surprises.
