Royal Caribbean has officially opened its private beach club in Santorini, offering cruise passengers a full-day shore excursion on the popular Greek island. The Royal Beach Club Santorini, which debuted this week, is designed to help guests avoid crowds by splitting groups across different parts of the island.
The excursion, available on Greek island and Mediterranean cruises that dock in Santorini, includes visits to the cliffside paths of Oia for photos by the iconic blue domes and a stop in the capital Fira. Prices start at $249 per adult and $199 per child, depending on the sailing.
The beach club is situated on a volcanic black sand beach with views of the Aegean Sea. Guests can relax on loungers and enjoy unlimited Greek cuisine, including an all-you-can-eat buffet, grab-and-go options, and Greek frozen yogurt. Complimentary welcome drinks, house wine, draft beer, and live DJ music are also included.
This is Royal Caribbean's first private beach club in Europe, following the launch of the Royal Beach Club Paradise Island in the Bahamas in January. A similar club is planned for Cozumel, Mexico, in 2026 and Lelepa in the South Pacific in 2027.
