The city was founded by the Phoenicians in around the 8th century BC, and was later colonized by different populations due to its strategic position on the Mediterranean. Among the places of interest that stand out are the Bastion of Saint Remy, the ancient quarter of Castello, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and Santa Cecilia.

Lovely ship, cabin spacious and well appointed. We were not impressed with rigid dining times and having to sit with another couple every evening. We were very lucky that we git on well with them!

27 Oct 2025

Found the ship very confusing with lay out - moving around the ship always seemed confusing. Entertainment was limited - putting the main show each evening to one side, which was good. . . i found it very dull place to be. Furthermore, being at sea for 4 of the 8 days due a strike at Athens compounded it further. The food generally was good standard and customer services dealing with question was again good. I didnt enjoy the vacation and wont be travelling with MSC Again.

Excellent cruise. Well organised, with staff helpful and clearly knowing what to do, when and how to ensure the operations of excursions and meal times proceed smoothly. Ship very clean and common areas kept tidy and with room to move around. No hard or upsetting which we appreciated. Compared to other cruise lines MSC seem happy to simply let you get on with things without day to day hand holding and information.

Buffet food was always far too busy. Some of the “”hot” breakfast meals were only just warm sometimes. Pizzas were always outstanding. Limited choice and not much chicken on the menu.

MSC also offer a more flexible dining option called 'My Time' dining. This allows you to chose the time that you dine in the main restaurant. Aurea guests have an anytime dining option.

MSC offers a wide range of dietary options, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and low-sodium choices. Guests can notify the cruise line in advance, and the onboard dining team strives to cater to individual dietary requirements.

MSC guests are limited to two suitcases and two pieces of hand luggage when checking in for their cruise. However, we highly recommend that you read your cruise ticket in full before travelling as these limits may change.

Apart from their fantastic formal and themed evenings, MSC guests are invited to wear casual resort attire whilst on board. Casual resort attire would incude a shirt with chinos, or summer dresses and a jacket. Whislt formal wear would be a suit or smart evening trousers with a jacket and tie, and cocktail dresses.

If anyone in your party requires medical or mobility assistance, notify your Cruise Specialist at the time of booking or as soon as possible if circumstances change after booking. The Special Assistance Team will email a form 6-8 weeks before departure, which must be completed and returned.

Travel requirements

All passengers (including all children), should hold their own full 10-year (5 years for children) British Citizen (GBR) passport. The passport should be valid for at least 6 months past your expected return date to the UK, as this is often a criteria for entry to certain countries.

MSC Cruises recommends that every Passenger should have an adequate insurance policy which covers them sufficiently for cancellation, medical assistance and expenses, loss and/or damage of the luggage.
