Your Ship
MSC Orchestra
The Adriatic and Aegean workhorse, and the one MSC ship that sells Istanbul in winter
Aboard
- Second of the Musica class, launched at Saint-Nazaire in September 2006, in service May 2007
- Built as hull R32 for around $360 million
- Christened at Civitavecchia on May 14, 2007 by Sophia Loren
- Two homeports, Bari and Piraeus, on a single seven-night circuit
- Istanbul is a third homeport, but only from October to April
- Corfu on nearly every week, more than any port except her own two bases
Ashore
Where You Stop
Corfu
Bari
Piraeus
Europe
The Greek Isles
Whitewashed villages spilling down volcanic cliffs, harbors the color of a swimming pool, and ruins you walk through rather than past; the Aegean is small enough that a week reaches a genuine cross-section of it.
- Best Time to Go
- May, June, September and October; July and August are hot and crowded
- Typical Length
- 7 to 10 nights
