Limassol to remain Royal Caribbean’s base for Rhapsody of the Seas

Royal Caribbean on Monday announced its return to Cyprus in 2022 and 2023, with Rhapsody of the Seas.

Following a successful summer sailing from Limassol, Royal Caribbean International has announced two more seasons of cruising from Cyprus, which are now open.

In 2022 and 2023, Rhapsody of the Seas will welcome guests in Limassol for the first time to set course for destinations such as the Greek Isles, Greece, Israel, Egypt and Turkey.

“Cyprus is a key and growing market for Royal Caribbean and presents the perfect gateway for our guests to explore the eastern Mediterranean,” said vice president of Europe, Middle East and Africa, Royal Caribbean International Ben Bouldin.

“I have no doubt that with the ongoing support from the Cyprus Ministry of Tourism and our new sales representatives we are in an excellent position to grow in Cyprus and continue to offer memorable holidays in the region.”

Welcoming the enhanced collaboration, Deputy Minister of Tourism Savvas Perdios said it has been an honour to host Royal Caribbean in 2021, “which was another challenging year for global tourism”.

Holidaymakers can choose from a line-up of seven-night Greek Isles cruises that sail roundtrip from Limassol in August and September 2022.

In May-August 2023, Rhapsody will return to the city to set sail on new 7-night Israel and Egypt cruises as well as Greece and Turkey itineraries. Then the Vision Class ship will head to Haifa until early November 2023, sailing a mix of 2- to 7-night itineraries to Greece, the Greek Isles and Cyprus.

Cruises departing from Limassol will be exclusively available through Top Kinisis Travel, Let’s Go Tours by Amathus, Century Travel and Louis Travel.

The cruise line said it will also continue working with existing partner Navigator Travel & Tourist Services Ltd.

Royal Caribbean International has been delivering innovation at sea for more than 50 years. The cruise line continues to revolutionize vacations with itineraries to more than 270 destinations in 72 countries on six continents.
