Royal Caribbean has officially begun welcoming guests to its first Royal Beach Club in Europe.

The cruise line opened Royal Beach Club Santorini today as part of its “Ultimate Santorini Day,” which is a full-day shore excursion that provides the opportunity to visit Oia, Fira and the new club.

Here’s a closer look at Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate Santorini Day, including highlights surrounding its new beach club.

Ultimate Santorini Day

The new Royal Beach Club is merely one part of Royal Caribbean's exciting offerings when pulling in to Santorini. The shore excursion experience on this popular Greek Island includes:

  • Complimentary round-trip transportation to and throughout the island with visits to Oia and Fira
  • In Oia, guests can wander cliffside paths where whitewashed buildings and blue domes spill toward the sea. They can also stroll the village to discover charming shops, caldera views, and cascading architecture—Santorini's most photographed and iconic location. 
  • On to Fira, where visitors can indulge in sun-soaked strolls and immerse themselves in Santorini's buzzing capital city, home to sweeping vistas and vibrant daily life. There will also be time to sample cafés, explore local art galleries and snap cliffside selfies with beautiful views of the caldera. 
  • Access to Royal Beach Club Santorini which includes an exclusive, volcanic black sand beach with sweeping views of the Aegean Sea. The club also features luxe loungers, umbrellas, plush towels and convenient amenities like complimentary Wi-Fi.

    Unlimited Greek cuisine is also part of the Club experience, including an all-you-can-eat buffet, grab and go quick bites, and Greek frozen yogurt; a complimentary welcome drink, house wine, draft beer and more

    Guests can book the Ultimate Santorini Day through the Royal App or through their travel advisor.
