The worlds of music and cruising come together to offer the best of both. Royal Caribbean partners with the iconic Eurovision.
This alliance will bring the excitement and fun of the competition aboard some of the company's most spectacular ships, transforming the sea into a stage for celebration and entertainment like no other.
Eurovision is much more than a music competition; it's a cultural phenomenon that unites millions of viewers across Europe and beyond. Since its inception in 1956, Eurovision has evolved into an eagerly anticipated annual event that celebrates the musical and cultural diversity of the participating countries.
Each year, artists from all over Europe compete in the hope of winning the coveted prize and leaving a beautiful and lasting impression on the international scene.
Eurovision fans are about to experience something truly unique at sea with Royal Caribbean's new Eurovision-themed cruises. Four of the fleet's most impressive ships, including the iconic Oasis of the Seas , which this season is offering week-long cruises from Barcelona, will be transformed into a themed party, combining music, fun, and stunning European destinations.
Embark on any of Royal Caribbean's four ships available for the occasion and immerse yourself in the magic of Eurovision both on board and ashore. From the sun-drenched Mediterranean coast to the romantic capital of Paris, each destination will be infused with the spirit of the iconic contest.
Guests will be able to immerse themselves in the world of the most iconic music competition. With an onboard atmosphere specially designed for the occasion, Royal Caribbean will offer an unforgettable experience for fans of the Song Contest.
Spaces and experiences transformed for the occasion
Inside the ships, several spaces will be transformed into the perfect setting to enjoy the Eurovision final or semi-final projected on a large screen. Areas ranging from Studio B and the Music Hall to the ice rink will be specially prepared so passengers can experience the excitement of the contest.
In addition, there will be karaoke sessions with songs by Nebulossa, the duo from Alicante who will represent Spain this year in Eurovision, and by the rest of the participants.
But that's not all; the food and drinks will also be themed. Passengers can enjoy the finest European cuisine on the Windjammer, complete with exclusive Eurovision cocktails.
