Royal Caribbean International will shortly launch a direct cruise connection from the Stansted Airport in London. This is a first for the cruise line, and will prove beneficial for cruise passengers from the United Kingdom. From Stansted, BA charter planes will be used to connect to Venice.
Starting in June, there will be flights that provide connections with Voyager of the Seas on seven night itineraries on the Adriatic Sea. It was stated by Jo Rzymowska, General Manager for UK and Ireland that this move was essential as cruise passenger feedback had proved that flight connections from convenient locations are a major deciding factor for people when choosing their cruise experience.
The addition of direct connections from Stansted London will open the market up to millions of potential cruise passengers that stay in the vicinity. The main catchment areas at Stansted have close to 6.7 m inhabitants.
This will be a service that will prove to be a convenient route for millions of UK cruisers so that they can start their holiday right from the day of departing.
