In September, the MSC Opera will start its cruise to various Greek destinations from Bari, returning to the Italian city after one week. You can get on board one of these cruises starting at just €539 per person in an inside cabin. An outside cabin would set you back by €689.
Prices include all taxes and fees. You would get a full board which comes with a buffet restaurant open from early morning to late night and a daily a la carte formal dinner. Drinks are free during dining and you can always go to the buffet restaurant to drink something.

The Ship
While MSC Opera is one of the older/smaller ships, it’s still very stylish and a great place to spend a week. It entered into service in 2004 as part of the Lirica class and went through a renovation in 2015. It boasts a huge theatre, many restaurants, pools, jacuzzis, a spa, a gym and even a minigolf course. The cabins look like most MSC ships:
Even MSC’s older ships have a beautiful and stylish atrium area:
And have a focus on wellness:
