Greek Isles Itineary Choice Help

[DisneyDatknee]

So we are looking at either of these MSC cruises to cancel our 5 day on the Divina from Genoa. My grandmother is turning 78 this January and she cannot stop talking about the Greek Islands ever since I got back from Ireland. I think the ships are about the same, but does anyone have a preference over itinerary/ship?

 

The Musica goes to Brindisi, Olympia, Santorini, Athens, Corfu, and Kotor.

 

The Poesia goes to Bari, Olympia, Athens, Mykonos, Sarande, and Dubrovnik.

 

Both from Venice of course and they are actually both the same exact price.

 

She's very active for her age (still working) so she can walk distances, but we are just looking for ports with lots of history and scenery.

 

Thank you.

Musica because for me, Oia on Santorini is one of my favorite places. If you don't want to deal with cable cars, the second choice with Dubrovnik is also a wonderful place

I also vote for Santorini, and then Corfu will be very different. Santorini is what everyone thinks of when they imagine Greek islands. Mykonos is a very miniature of Santorini, not near the view! EM

I would go for the Musica as we chose Santorini, Kotor and Corfu for our Greek Isles next year.

Hi all!

 

I'd pick Musica too as Kotor supposedly has an amazing fjord like approach & Corfu & Santorini, I've been to & know are nice.

My cruise next year on NCL Star has those 3 ports plus Dubrovnik & Mykonos so loving that.

Thank you all for your responses. Changing my signature now as we just booked. Scored a cheap flight on Turkish Airlines for $626 a person. We will be spending several days pre-cruise and a couple post-cruise in Venice. I never get tired of that city. :)
