The Ultimate Santorini Day Lands in Summer 2026 with Royal Beach Club Santorini

Santorini is one of those places that stays with you long after your trip ends—white-washed villages, blue-domed churches, and stunning volcanic beaches. In summer 2026, Royal Caribbean Group will make it even easier to experience the island with Royal Beach Club Santorini and the Ultimate Santorini Day.

This exclusive destination is open only to guests sailing on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity Cruises, though local Greek residents may also access the club based on availability. Unlike Perfect Day at CocoCay, the beach club has a day-pass cost, making it a premium shore excursion experience.

Explore Santorini’s Iconic Villages

The Ultimate Santorini Day starts on land, exploring the island’s most famous villages.

‍

Oia: The Postcard-Perfect Village

Oia’s signature white-washed buildings and blue-domed churches are famous worldwide. Here, guests can wander the winding streets, snap photos of the iconic architecture, and take in panoramic views of the caldera. Small boutiques, local art galleries, and charming cafes make Oia a perfect place to soak in the island’s culture at a leisurely pace.

‍

Fira: Santorini’s Cultural Heart

Next, the day takes you to Fira, the island’s bustling capital. Stroll through artisan shops, enjoy a coffee in a cliffside café, and discover hidden galleries and local crafts. Every stop is designed to immerse visitors in the Grecian spirit without feeling rushed.

‍

Scenic Ferry Rides

To make the day seamless, Royal Caribbean includes scenic ferry rides along Santorini’s coastline. This helps distribute visitors across the island, preventing congestion and giving you more time to enjoy the sights rather than waiting in lines.

Royal Beach Club Collection: A Growing Global Portfolio

Royal Beach Club Santorini is part of Royal Caribbean Group’s ambitious expansion of private land-based destinations, which will grow from two to eight locations by 2028.
