Royal Caribbean International has launched two Eurovision-themed cruises for fans to celebrate the popular music event next year, including a sailing from Southampton.
The 2025 Eurovision Song Contest is being held in Basel after Switzerland won this year’s competition, and fans are now being given the chance to pack their flags and fake eyelashes for exclusive themed-sailings with Royal Caribbean to other European destinations.
Several cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, International Carnival, Cunard and P&O first aired the Eurovision final when the UK hosted the event in 2023.
