VACATIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN WITH MSC ARMONIA

by Royal Holiday May 30, 2025

written by Royal Holiday

Imagine waking up with the soft sound of the sea, opening the curtains, and finding yourself in a new destination each morning. No packing, running to get the train, or fighting with Google Maps in another language. It will only be you, the Mediterranean, and the MSC Armonia cruise that will take you through some of the most beautiful places in the world without having to move a finger.

This journey starts and ends in Venice-Marghera, and in between it has stops that are all jewels. So if you’re thinking about having an elegant trip but without as much protocol, cultural but relaxed, and with food that will make you question your previous life… keep reading.

STARTING STRONG: VENICE-MARGHERA, ITALY

Before boarding the ship, take the time to walk through Venice (yes, it’s still as magical as the postcards). Gondoliers singing, mysterious alleys, and that old Italian movie air. If you have the opportunity, try a spritz and a cicchetta (like a Venetian tapa) before embarking. Elegance starts here, and the ship hasn’t even sailed yet!

BRINDISI (LECCE): THE HEEL OF THE BOOT

Brindisi is the entrance point to Lecce, a city known as the Florence of the south. It is one of those places that are not super popular, but once you visit you ask, why did no one tell me about this place? Baroque all around, charming streets, and ice cream shops that should be world heritage. Very calm and pretty. Discover the requirements to set sail, stress-free.

DAY AT SEA: BECAUSE WE ARE ALSO HERE TO REST, RIGHT?

1 of 3

After so much Italian beauty we have a day at sea. And this is when the ship becomes the destination. You can sleep in, lay by the pool, go to the spa, eat more than what you need (because the buffet allows it), or simply look at the sea and relax.

MYKONOS: THE ISLAND THAT LOOKS GOOD NO MATTER WHAT

Waking up in Mykonos is like opening your eyes inside a travel magazine. White houses with blue doors, windmills, and streets, where getting lost is part of the plan. You can go to the beach, take a Greek frappe, or walk around and let yourself be charmed by the Cycladic charm.

PIRAEUS (ATHENS): HELLO HISTORY!

From Piraeus, you can easily get to Athens. And if you’re someone who gets goosebumps seeing an ancient monument… get ready. The acropolis awaits with all its majesty. You can take the full tour or simply admire from a terrace while getting some fresh air. Because you can be cultural… but with style.

ANOTHER DAY AT SEA: RELAX EXPERT-LEVEL UNLOCKED

MSC ARMONIA-ENTERTAINMENT

Another day to let the MSC Armonia pamper you. You may already know your favorite corner to look at the sunset, or you reserved a cooking class, or wine tasting, or you’re simply enjoying the hot tub while thinking: what if I stay here? Check out the ship’s virtual tour here.

SPLIT, CROATIA: GAME OF THRONES AND GOOD VIBES

We’re now in Split, where the walls look like they were from a story and the Diocletian’s Palace will make you feel as if you were in an epic show. But it’s not all history: there are beaches, markets, and that Croatian charm that combines sea, culture, and calm. Perfect for walking with no rush, buying local crafts, and eating a good risotto by the sea.

BACK TO VENICE-MARGHERA

Coming back always has that little taste of happy nostalgia. But the best part of a trip like this is that you don’t just bring back beautiful photos and souvenirs you’ll probably forget to unpack… you bring back moments, the kind that stay with you. Laughter, landscapes, delicious food, and the feeling of having truly experienced something special. Book with Royal at Sea and your Royal Holiday membership!

7 DESTINATIONS YOU CAN ONLY VISIT ON A CRUISE

by Royal Holiday April 29, 2025

written by Royal Holiday

If you’re passionate about discovering unique places separated from massive tourism, a cruise can be your best option. There are impressive destinations in the world that you can only access on a ship, offering exclusive experiences and virgin landscapes. From hidden islands in the Pacific to frozen corners of Antarctica, here are some of the most remote destinations you can only visit on a cruise.

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR

This unique archipelago is famous for its biodiversity and protected ecosystem. Since it’s an area restricted to land tourism, cruises are the best way to explore it without affecting its fragile natural equilibrium. From close encounters with giant sea turtles to snorkeling with sea lions, a trip to the Galapagos on a cruise is an unforgettable experience.

ANTARCTICA

Only a few travelers in the world have the privilege of going to Antarctica, and a cruise is the only way of getting there. Expedition ships allow you to explore imposing glaciers, observe emperor penguins in their natural habitat, and navigate between colossal icebergs. The feeling of being in one of the most isolated places in the world is incomparable.

PITCAIRN ISLANDS, PACIFIC OCEAN

Wikipedia

These are some of the most inaccessible destinations by cruise in the world, they’re famous for being the refuge for the descendants of the mutineers of the HMS Bounty. With no airports or land connections, the only way to get there is by cruise. Visitors can explore a practically virgin territory, with solitary beaches and unique culture.

NORWEGIAN FJORDS

Although Norway has highways and airports, the impressive Norwegian Fjords are better explored on a cruise. Ships can go into profound valleys sculpted by glaciers, giving you spectacular panoramic views. Additionally, the possibility of seeing the northern lights from the deck is a unique attraction.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA

This exotic and culturally rich destination is hard to access by other means. Its tribal villages, pristine beaches, and marine biodiversity make Papua New Guinea a paradise for explorers. A cruise allows you to visit different islands in one trip, something impossible to accomplish by air or land. Would you like to travel to the Mediterranean? Discover more here.

SEYCHELLES ISLANDS, INDIAN OCEAN

Although Seychelles has airports, some of the most exclusive islands can only be visited on a ship. A cruise takes you to paradise as corners with white sand and turquoise waters where you can swim amongst almost intact coral reefs and discover awesome marine fauna.

THE FRENCH POLYNESIA: BORA BORA AND BEYOND

gabor-koszegi-IaWODJl0HE4-unsplash-1170×780

damien-chaudet-SjCHKiGVWH4-unsplash-1170×658

Bora Bora is famous for its luxury resorts, but the true charm of French Polynesia is in its lesser-known islands like Rangiroa and Fakarava. These remote jewels, accessible only by boat, offer dream landscapes and spectacular scuba diving in crystal-clear lagoons.

Cruises are not only a way of traveling comfortably, but they’re also the only gateway to some of the most exclusive places in the world. Whether it is in the idea of Antarctica, the warmth of the Pacific, or the majestic Norwegian fjords, these remote destinations offer experiences that only a few privileged people can enjoy by cruise.

So, if you’re looking for a different vacation, adventurous and exclusive, a cruise can be your next big adventure, learn more about our Royal at Sea program and discover what route can take you there.

by Royal Holiday January 29, 2025

written by Royal Holiday

If you haven’t been on a cruise yet, what are you waiting for? Vacations on a cruise will give you incomparable experiences! Oh, but not all cruises are during the summer or to the Caribbean… The good news is that you can also go on a cruise to cold destinations during the winter or fall, and they’re equally as fascinating.

We want to remind you that with your Membership you have the opportunity to access the Royal at Sea program, with many itineraries at your reach and embarking with the most important cruise lines in the world.

WINTER CRUISES, WHY NOT?

Winter is not only a time for chimneys and warm beverages; it is also an opportunity to live a unique cruise experience. Learn more about Norwegian Cruises here.

Navigating during this season has a particular charm, whether you’re exploring snowy landscapes or escaping to cold temperatures full of magic. And we are going to give you various reasons to choose cruises to cold destinations.

Many ships also have heated areas, spas, and covered pools, which guarantees a warm and cozy experience.

SOME “FROZEN” BUT INCREDIBLE DESTINATIONS

The Norwegian fjords and the destinations in Scandinavia are a dream destination during the winter.

Imagine navigating between snow-covered mountains, visiting small fishing towns, and experiencing activities like northern lights safaris.

Although it is more known as a summertime cruise destination, Alaska also offers unique experiences during the winter.

This is the perfect moment to enjoy wildlife sightings like reindeer and polar bears, as well as practicing winter sports in ports of call.

Princess Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Line offer itineraries that will take you to explore glaciers and arctic landscapes with luxury onboard. These cruises to cold destinations will be very enjoyable.

Another incredible option is to set sail and explore the Baltic cities and Russia during winter. We guarantee a magical experience aboard Costa Cruises or MSC Cruises.

For example, visiting Saint Petersburg will allow you to see palaces covered in snow, and Tallinn with its winter markets is a destination you can’t miss.

ROYAL AT SEA, A SEA OF EXPERIENCES
