For the first time, Royal Caribbean will sail to Europe in April 2025, coinciding with Passover. The 'Allure of the Seas,' from the Oasis class, will arrive in Barcelona on April 11, 2025, offering 4-5 day cruises.
The ship, dubbed the "Floating Adventure," features seven distinct "neighborhoods": Boardwalk with an outdoor theater and pool, two rock climbing walls, a seafood restaurant, a burger joint, a donut shop, kids' facilities, a children's tattoo parlor, and stores for kids and teens. Central Park, an open-air space, boasts tropical greenery, tranquil gardens, cafes, restaurants, art galleries, and a photography studio. The Royal Promenade offers a pedestrian street with a three-story bar and international cuisine. The pool area includes a zip line, giant water slides, an ice skating rink, a 3D movie theater, and more.
If you're planning your next Passover holiday, special rates are available now. For instance, a 4-night itinerary from April 11-15, 2025, departs from Barcelona to Marseille, Palma de Mallorca, and back to Barcelona, with prices starting at $578 per person. A 5-night cruise from April 15-20, 2025, departs from Barcelona to Marseille, Florence, Rome, and returns to Barcelona, starting at $815 per person.
Udi Schnabel, CEO of Sanorama, Royal Caribbean's exclusive representative in Israel, said, "Royal Caribbean has identified the significant demand for cruises in Europe. For the first time in April 2025, it will launch one of its luxury ships on 4- and 5-night cruises. This is a significant milestone, indicating the growing global demand for cruise vacations. We can already say that the short packages are selling at record speeds due to their attractive prices, making them particularly suitable for Israeli families looking for a holiday during Passover in nearby destinations."
