MSC Cruises has announced plans to have six cruise ships travel to Greek destinations this year, making over 400 visits to nine different island and mainland destinations.
The company will also have a ship based in Piraeus for the entire winter season from 2024-2025. This move is in line with Greece’s tourism development plan, which aims to extend the tourist season. MSC Sinfonia will sail from Piraeus with 7-night itineraries, including a stop at the island of Corfu. The increased number of visits to Greek ports aims to reduce the strain on popular destinations like Santorini and Mykonos.
