MSC Cruises announced in a statement that it will launch two new itineraries during the summer 2026 season in the Eastern Mediterranean.

From April 4, 2026, the Lirica will operate 29 weekly voyages from Venice-Marghera to Kotor in Montenegro, Mykonos (with an overnight stay on the Greek island), the new destination of Syros, and Ancona on Italy’s eastern Adriatic coast, before returning to Marghera.

From April 24, 2026, the Divina will offer 30 cruises from Civitavecchia, Italy, to Mykonos, Kusadasi, and Marmaris in Turkey, as well as Naples, Italy, before returning to Civitavecchia.

The Divina’s guests can also opt for additional comfort and privacy in the MSC Yacht Club, the company’s “ship within a ship” concept, with keycard-only access to private facilities, 24-hour butler and concierge service, an exclusive restaurant, lounge, pool and sundeck.

MSC Cruises added that Syros is a hidden gem destination and that the Greek island experience will provide its guests with the chance to visit its capital, Ermoupoli, and its architecture and medieval settlement.

The line stated that Marmaris is one of the most popular resort towns on Turkey’s “Turquoise Coast.”
