Ultimate Santorini with Royal Beach Club: Was it Worth It?

Yassas from Greece! 🇬🇷

Santorini has been on our bucket list and getting to step off the ship onto this island was honestly a pinch-me moment. It’s one of the most coveted port stops on any Mediterranean itinerary, and we can absolutely see why.

For today’s excursion, we booked Royal Caribbean’s “Ultimate Santorini with Royal Beach Club” — and it turned out to be the perfect mix of culture and chill. The morning had us wandering through the winding streets of Oia and Fira, taking in those iconic blue-domed churches and whitewashed buildings against the caldera views. We also had an awesome guide who grew up in the island!

Then in the afternoon, we headed to the brand-new Royal Beach Club Santorini — the first and only Royal Caribbean beach club in Europe.

In this video we’re taking you along for the whole day — the towns, the views, the beach club, and our honest thoughts on whether this excursion is worth booking if you’re cruising into Santorini. Let us know in the comments if you’ve done this stop before, or if it’s on your list!
