7 Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise aboard the MSC Orchestra

Share

Prepare yourself for seven nights of leisurely sailing through on the Mediterranean when you join the MSC Orchestra from Athens and back again.

This trip is notable because you'll exclusively experience less common ports such as Bari, Kuşadası, and Istanbul. This route is a common one for the Orchestra.

With a cost of under $130 a day, this bargain is solid. This is the total you pay, no sneaky extra fees.


The MSC Orchestra

The Orchestra MSC, based in the Mediterranean and refurbished only five years ago in 2021, is a Musica class vessel that can carry over 2,500 cruisers.

The Orchestra MSC delights guests with a jacuzzi, a casino, a solarium, a ping pong table, a gym, and a spa.
