Royal Caribbean 2020 ex-UK cruises go on sale
Royal Caribbean has confirmed that Anthem of the Seas will return to Southampton in 2020 for the first time in five years, joining Independence of the Seas to sail a number of new itineraries.
Sailing to northern Europe, the Canary Islands and throughout the Mediterranean, Anthem will offer a selection of 14-night cruises.
Independence of the Seas will offer a number of new destinations, including a 14-night Scandinavia and Russia cruise with an overnight stay in Copenhagen and two nights in St Petersburg, plus cruises to Morocco and Portugal.
Itineraries on Independence range from three to 14 nights, all from Southampton.
Ben Bouldin, MD of Royal Caribbean International UK and Ireland, said: "It’s important for us to make our cruises as easy and enjoyable for guests as soon as their holidays begin, so we’re elated that we have not one, but two, of our much-loved ships coming home for us to show-off and celebrate. 2020 is set to be a spectacular season with more overnight stays and fantastic new itineraries."
