Beach Day, Elevated: Inside the Royal Beach Club and Celebrity’s Santorini Shore Club

What if your next beach day came with infinity pools, private cabanas, and curated cuisine just steps from the sea? Celebrity Cruises is redefining the shoreside experience with all-inclusive, luxury beach club escapes made exclusively for its guests. Whether you’re sailing through the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, these premium shore clubs transform a simple beach break into something extraordinary.

In this blog, we explore two standout experiences: the Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island in the Bahamas and the highly anticipated Santorini Shore Club, launching in Greece in summer 2026. Learn how to turn your next Celebrity cruise into the ultimate beach escape, and how an Avoya Travel Personal Travel Advisor can help you reserve your spot in paradise.

If you’re heading to Nassau, don’t settle for an ordinary beach day. The Royal Beach Club at Paradise Island is a private, resort-style retreat developed by Royal Caribbean Group for their guests, including those sailing with Celebrity Cruises.

This is beachside bliss reimagined:

• Powder-soft white sands and crystal-clear turquoise waters

• Infinity-edge pools and swim-up bars

• Private cabanas, floating hammocks, and shaded daybeds

• Authentic Bahamian cuisine featuring fresh seafood and island-inspired dishes

• Cultural experiences including vibrant Junkanoo parades and local mixology

How to Get There: Celebrity guests can hop on a quick water taxi from the ship directly to Paradise Island. This experience is available as a bookable shore excursion through Celebrity Cruises.

Who It’s Perfect For: Couples seeking serenity, friend groups looking for style and comfort, and anyone who dreams of trading busy public beaches for a serene, upscale hideaway.

Few cruise destinations spark as much wanderlust as Santorini. Beginning in summer 2026, Celebrity Cruises will offer an entirely new way to enjoy this iconic Greek isle with the exclusive Santorini Shore Club.
