Overview
MSC Lirica brings a distinctive cruise experience centred on elegance, comfort, and hospitality in the finest MSC Cruises tradition, with magnificent internal vistas from the foyer and unimpeded ocean views from the lounges' floor-to-ceiling windows. This seven-night round-trip cruise departs from Istanbul, spends a day at sea, then calls at Corfu and Bari in Italy, another day at sea, then Piraeus (the port of Athens) and Izmir, before returning to Istanbul. Onboard, guests have full board dining in the buffet and main restaurant, a gym, pools, West End-style theatre shows, and children's clubs and activities, with optional speciality dining and drinks packages available for purchase. Because this cruise departs from and returns to Istanbul, no separate flights are needed.
