ROYAL CARIBBEAN ANNOUNCES EXTRAORDINARY PROMOTION FOR ITS NORTHERN IRELAND CUSTOMERS

To celebrate the launch of a new charter flight from Belfast for Freedom of the Seas, Royal Caribbean offers Northern Ireland customers a fantastic flight promotion

Belfast Friday 11 November 2016: Royal Caribbean International has announced an extraordinary offer for Northern Ireland customers as it celebrates the launch of a new weekly charter flight with City Jet next summer from Belfast International Airport to Barcelona for Freedom of the Seas. 

The charter flight will be running from 7 May until 20 August 2017 and Royal Caribbean is offering its customers the opportunity to avail of a great reduced flight offer on new bookings made from today until Thursday 17 November, 2016. Guests will benefit from a reduction of £150 off the price of the flight per person when booking a selected sailing, applicable to the first and second guests in the booking only.

This is a perfect time for culturally–curious and adventure–seeking travellers to plan their upcoming holiday escapes.  A cruise on Freedom of the Seas is an incredible way to enjoy some of the Med’s most picturesque and cultural destinations with a playground of experiences both off and onboard.

Docking from Barcelona, guests can appreciate the sights at multiple destinations including Marseille, Nice, Florence, Pisa, Rome and Naples.  The extraordinary experiences continue onboard as guest can ride the spectacular Flowrider surf simulator or if they like things a little laid back, the ship has cantilevered whirlpools stretching out over the ocean and a sumptuous spa. Families in particular are in for an unforgettable time with our magical Dreamworks experience, where kids can get up close and personal with their favourite characters including Shrek, Fiona and Po (Kung Fu Panda).

Ben Bouldin, Sales Director UK & Ireland for Royal Caribbean International, said: “Since the launch of Harmony of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, in the Med earlier this year, we have seen a surge in the number of Northern Ireland holidaymakers choosing a cruise as their holiday of choice.

“In response to this growing demand, we are delighted to offer an even easier way to get straight to our ships in the Med and with the new charter flights from Belfast to Barcelona we are hoping more customers will take a break from the sensible and enjoy some amazing destinations.” 

There are over 1,000 flight seats still available, although early booking is advised as flights are limited and subject to availability.
