MSC Cruises to sail three cruise ships in the Eastern Mediterranean – Piraeus also a home port

MSC Cruises announced on April 15 new and updated itineraries in the Mediterranean and throughout Europe for the coming summer. The ships offering the new services will operate under the same health and safety protocol that protected more than 60,000 MSC Cruises visitors who sailed in the Mediterranean in August 2020, the company said.

Specifically for the Eastern Mediterranean, it announced that three cruise ships will be launched to carry visitors to Italy, Greece, Croatia, and Montenegro, noting that ” MSC Cruises will deploy three ships in this ever-popular region for the upcoming summer season offering a range of different itineraries in the East Mediterranean, offering ports of embarkation in Italy from Trieste, Venice and Bari as well as Piraeus for Athens in Greece, calling at some of the most beautiful Greek Islands, Kotor in Montenegro as well as the vibrant ports of Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia.”

More specifically, MSC Orchestra will now depart on 5 June offering guests embarkation in the Italian ports of Venice on Saturdays, Bari on Sundays and then call at the Greek Islands of Corfu, Mykonos as well as Dubrovnik in Croatia.

MSC Splendida will commence sailing from 12 June with embarkation in Trieste, Italy on Saturdays and in Bari on Tuesdays, calling at Dubrovnik in Croatia, Corfu in Greece and Kotor in Montenegro.
