8 Night Eastern Mediterranean Cruise aboard the MSC Orchestra
Settle in for eight nights of breathtaking sailing around the Mediterranean when you embark on the MSC Orchestra from Athens and back again.
This cruise is notable because you'll only spend time in uncommon ports like Bari, Santorini, and Kuşadası. This route is an interesting one for the Orchestra. As a matter of fact, this is the only time it's scheduled to sail it!
This price includes all meals, entertainment, port charges, and taxes. No sneaky extra fees! At less than $145 a day, this represents a solid deal. Act quickly, because the price of this cruise is on the way up! Reserve your stateroom before the price moves upwards.
