The best summer ever is heating up as Royal Caribbean International unveils its bold new lineup of European vacations for the 2027 season, headlined by the opening of the Royal Beach Club Santorini. This exclusive destination blends the island’s world-famous beauty with Royal Caribbean’s signature style and hospitality.

From the storied coasts of the Mediterranean to the natural wonders of Northern Europe, travelers can choose from a variety of getaways ranging from two to nine nights, departing from Barcelona, Rome (Civitavecchia), Ravenna, Athens (Piraeus), and Southampton.

The return of Legend of the Seas will headline the season with seven-night adventures across the Western Mediterranean, calling at France, Italy, and Spain. Guests will enjoy 28 distinct dining options, including the immersive Royal Railway – Legend Station and Hollywoodland Supper Club, along with headline entertainment such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.

New highlights include Mariner of the Seas, debuting in Southampton with routes to Porto, Norway’s fjords, Copenhagen, and Seville; and Rhapsody of the Seas, sailing from Athens to Morocco, Turkey, Greece, and Egypt. Guests on board the Brilliance, Rhapsody, and Odyssey of the Seas will have access to the Royal Beach Club Santorini, featuring private cabanas, authentic Greek cuisine, and beachfront serenity.

Brilliance of the Seas will operate from Ravenna, exploring the Greek Islands, Croatia, and Montenegro, while Explorer of the Seas sails from Barcelona, Rome, Ravenna, and Athens through the most iconic destinations in Italy, France, Spain, and the Adriatic. Finally, Odyssey of the Seas returns to Rome with seven-night cruises to Mykonos, Santorini, Ephesus, and Naples.

Bookings for the 2027 Europe season are now open to Crown & Anchor Society members on Royal Caribbean’s official website, ahead of the general opening on October 30.

“Summer 2027 will redefine European cruising, blending innovation, culture, and the thrill of discovery across the continent,” said Royal Caribbean in its announcement.
