Royal Caribbean has announced its European programme for summer 2023, with nine ships sailing in the region.

The cruise line will have more ships than ever before in Europe, with the likes of Odyssey of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas setting sail.

Royal Caribbean will visit more than 25 countries, including Italy, Turkey, Greece, Israel, Spain and France.

Itineraries – which are now on sale – will begin in May 2023 and will range from five to 12 nights.

Odyssey of the Seas in Rome and Anthem of the Seas in Southampton are “two returning favourites set to offer the whole family a combination of signature features and standout experiences”, according to the cruise line.

Odyssey of the Seas will sail a range of seven to nine-night cruises from Rome to Naples, the Greek Isles and Turkey.

The ship will also depart for 12-night Holy Land sailings to Limassol, Ephesus and Jerusalem.

Symphony of the Seas, meanwhile, will head to the western Mediterranean for seven-night cruises visiting Naples, Palma de Mallorca and Provence.
