Between April and October, MSC Lirica will operate a new seven-night itinerary sailing round-trip from Piraeus to Kusadasi, Turkey; Haifa, Israel; Limassol, Cyprus; and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Santorini. Some 28 voyages will take place in total.
Remarked Angelo Capurro, executive director, MSC Cruises who was on hand to welcome passengers aboard the ship before its sailing this evening, ‘As well as basing MSC Lirica in Piraeus during summer 2022 to provide embarkation for our Greek guests, we are also looking to attract holidaymakers from international destinations to board the ship. We announced recently a new attractive "Stay & Cruise" package that includes up to two days in a four-star hotel and a city excursion for visitors to enjoy the sights and sounds of Athens.’
Added Capurro, ‘MSC Lirica will offer our guests a dedicated Greek experience and service that is coupled with a cosmopolitan ambience that can only be found on board one of our ships...'
Greece to play a greater role in MSC Cruises itineraries
It comes as Greece is set to play a greater role for MSC Cruises in the Eastern Mediterranean region this summer: Crete will serve as a port of call in MSC Lirica’s four 11-night sailings during November and December, with visits to Heraklion. From September 2022, MSC Fantasia will operate 11-night cruises to the Greek port for guests to visit Athens.
Summer sailings for MSC Musica include calls at Katakolon for Olympia, Heraklion and Santorini.
