Albanian Coast, Greece and Italy Cruise

This 8-night cruise on board the MS Louis Majesty is a wonderful opportunity to visit one of Europe's last frontiers - the country of Albania and the port of Saranda.

Other cruise highlights include Sardinia and the beautiful, historic city of Olbia, and Messina in Sicily, the island of the still-active volcano of Mount Etna.

The cruise also includes visits to Katakolon for Olympia; Zakynthos, with its beautiful churches and white sand beaches, and Corinth on Greece's Ionian Coast.

Messina, Sicily, Italy

The voyage continues to mysterious Albania and the city port of Saranda. Saranda sits between the mountains and the Ionian Sea, part of the 'Albanian Riviera' - an undiscovered gem of the Central Mediterranean.

Opposite Saranda is the Greek island of Corfu. Corfu town has interesting streets and a central park area home to a cricket team, a legacy of British rule.

Zakynthos, Greece

After visiting Corfu and a visit to medieval Genoa, MS Louis Majesty sails to Marseilles to conclude a memorable voyage around the Ionian Islands and the Albanian coast.

This exciting cruise is offered as 'cruise-only' for maximum flexibility, or with flights from various UK airports, or alternatively by Eurostar and TGV rail.
