- Royal Caribbean has opened its first private beach club in Europe, the Royal Beach Club Santorini, providing cruise guests with an exclusive full-day shore excursion on the popular Greek island.
- The club, located on a volcanic black sand beach with views of the Aegean Sea, is designed to help passengers avoid the usual crowds by spreading groups across various locations on Santorini.
- Guests at the Royal Beach Club can enjoy amenities such as comfortable loungers, unlimited Greek cuisine including a buffet and frozen yogurt, a complimentary welcome drink, house wine, draft beer, and live DJ entertainment throughout the day.
- The 'Ultimate Santorini Day' excursion, which incorporates visits to the cliffside paths of Oia for its iconic blue domes and the capital Fira, is priced from $249 per adult and $199 per child, varying by sailing.
- This European debut follows the successful launch of the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in the Bahamas earlier this year, with additional private beach clubs scheduled for development in Cozumel, Mexico, by 2026 and Lelepa in the South Pacific by 2027.
