Royal Caribbean is set to bring the ultimate day to Santorini with the launch of Royal Beach Club Santorini, opening in summer 2026. Designed exclusively for guests of Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises, the new destination will blend the island’s breathtaking volcanic beaches with the company’s signature experiences and the vibrant spirit of Greece to create the ultimate Santorini escape.

The beach club will form part of an Ultimate Santorini Day, offering travellers the chance to explore the island’s most iconic sights, from Oia’s whitewashed buildings and blue-domed churches to the charming shops, cafés and art galleries of Fira, while enjoying the relaxed Mediterranean ambiance of the beach club.

As preparations continue for its debut, Royal Caribbean Group is introducing an innovative approach to help reduce congestion across Santorini by better distributing guests around the island when visiting on Mediterranean cruises. Travellers will begin their journey from one of three designated starting points, ensuring smoother access and more time to enjoy the island’s attractions.

Following the upcoming debut of the first Royal Beach Club in The Bahamas this December, the Santorini destination marks the latest addition to Royal Caribbean Group’s expanding portfolio of exclusive, land-based experiences, which already includes the award-winning Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Joining Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and Labadee in Haiti, Royal Caribbean Group’s upcoming destinations include Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in The Bahamas (2025), The Cormorant at 55 South in Chile (2026), Royal Beach Club Santorini (2026), Royal Beach Club Cozumel in Mexico (2026), Perfect Day Mexico (2027), and Royal Beach Club Lelepa (2028).
