Royal Caribbean is to launch its first direct cruise connection from London Stansted to Venice.
The route will be operated by British Airways charter flights from June.
Passengers will join the cruise operator’s Voyager of the Seas for a seven-night Adriatic sailing.
Associate vice president and general manager Royal Caribbean International UK and Ireland Jo Rzymowska said: “Feedback from cruise travellers tells us that convenient flight connections are a factor when selecting their next cruise experience and the new services from Stansted are a great addition to our summer 2011 programme.
“Around 6.7 million people live in Stansted’s main catchment area, putting our cruise connections onto the doorstep of millions of potential customers. Setting off on a great value cruise holiday from an iconic destination such as Venice is now easier than ever before, and the new service will deliver an efficient route for thousands of UK cruisers to begin their holiday immediately on the day of departure.”
Voyager is known for its plethora of activities including ice skating and rock climbing.
