7 Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise aboard the MSC Lirica

Share

Set sail with the MSC Lirica and settle in for seven nights of luxurious travel through on the Mediterranean from Athens and back again!

This sailing is particularly exciting because you will only stop in less common destinations such as Bari, Kuşadası, and Istanbul. This route is a special one for the Lirica.

Our price is the total price, including all entertainment, meals, taxes, and port fees. Coming in at less than $105 per day, this represents a very good bargain.
