Amazing stops in Greece/ Turkey/ Italy 0 Mediterranean , New Zealand, Mar 2026
Booked a cruise on MSC leaving Athens port for 7 nights. Booked this through the amazing Hannah Perry of Global Journeys. Hannah booked our previous cruise and since she was great to deal with we used her services again. As always, Hannah was attentive to all our queries always quick to respond. Thank you again Hannah, and will definitely see you again read more for the next one. We travelled from NZ to Greece for the cruise. Greece itself was mind blowing. Food, culture, beautiful and warm locals who were so proud of their heritage, country, and happy to share it with us. The MSC ship was smaller than the last I was on (Royal Carribean). Some of the staff were not as welcoming or easy to deal with, maybe it was the cold-ish weather during this time of year. The buffet was not as good as previous ship, and average at best. However, the booked restaurants were a lot better.

Thankfully Hannah booked our group a table for the whole stay for dinner. The stops and excursions on the other hand exceeded our expectations. Corfu/ Izmir/ Istanbul/ Bari - wow. Great food/ history/ and views to be in awe of. Though it was cold in late March/ early April - much preferred as not overflowing with people, and got to see everything we wanted. Our holiday was spectacular. MSC Ship was pretty average, but I am bias having only been on one other ship (Royal Caribean) which was stunning. However - our holiday alone was stunninggg... great memories.
