The programme will run from May to October flying Royal guests to Bologna before they travel onwards to the port of Ravenna around an hour’s drive away.
In 2026, Explorer of the Seas will operate sailings from Ravenna to destinations across Greece, Italy, Croatia and the Adriatic. Agents can select these flights from Belfast City airport and Glasgow International airport for their clients via Royal’s Airwaves booking platform.
Selecting the flights will create a fly-cruise package priced from £1,112pp. Agents can also book items such as hand luggage, checked luggage, airport parking, fast-track security and discounted lounge access for their clients.
Aaron Langford, Royal’s UK and Ireland senior sales director, said: “Offering more travel options not only benefits our guests but creates a unique selling point for our dedicated travel partners when booking dream holidays for their clients.
"With Legend of the Seas debuting in Barcelona next summer, it’s important we provide every opportunity for our trade community to connect their customers with our brand."
The exclusive charter routes will join Royal Caribbean’s direct flight offerings, where guests can fly on allocation flights from Glasgow, Dublin and Manchester or free sale flights from all UK regional airports.
