New Cruise Connection From London Stansted

Posted 27/04/2011

Royal Caribbean International will launch their first direct cruise connection from London Stansted this summer, chartering aircraft from British Airways to provide flights to Venice from June to connect directly onto Voyager of the Seas, cruise ship for a seven night Adriatic sailing. 

The European cruise market continues to grow in popularity and Jo Rzymowska, Associate Vice President and General Manager, Royal Caribbean International, UK and Ireland confirmed the reasons behind this dedicated charter service from London. 

“Feedback from cruise travellers tells us that convenient flight connections are a factor when selecting their next cruise experience.  Around 6.7 million people live in Stansted’s main catchment area, putting our cruise connections onto the doorstep of millions of potential customers,” she explained. 

According to the cruise operator, the Voyager of the Seas ship includes an ice skating rink, rock climbing wall and an indoor ‘street’ running through the centre of the ship featuring shops, restaurants and bars.
