MSC Sinfonia
MSC Sinfonia is an Eastern Mediterranean mainstay — Lirica class, 2,679 guests, homeporting from Bari and Piraeus
Delivered in 2002 and stretched in 2015, MSC Sinfonia runs 7-night Eastern Mediterranean loops from Bari and Piraeus visiting Greece, Montenegro, and the Ionian and Aegean islands.
## The Ship
MSC Sinfonia is the third Lirica-class ship, originally delivered as European Stars in 2002 and renamed upon joining MSC Cruises. A 2015 lengthening as part of the Renaissance Programme added capacity and updated amenities.
## Deployment
MSC Sinfonia focuses on the Eastern Mediterranean, homeporting in Bari and Piraeus. Her 7-night itineraries visit Santorini, Mykonos, Katakolon, Argostoli, Corfu, and Kotor — a port-intensive Aegean and Ionian circuit well suited to first-time Greek island visitors and repeat Mediterranean travellers alike.
## What to Expect
Sinfonia is one of MSC's smaller ships, offering a more personal atmosphere and access to ports that restrict access for larger vessels. The Bari homeport is convenient for travellers arriving from southern Italy or flying into Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport.
