In a move aimed at enhancing travel convenience for cruise passengers, Trenitalia and Royal Caribbean have announced the renewal of their partnership, which will remain in effect until January 2026. This collaboration allows travelers embarking on cruises from the Italian ports of Ravenna and Civitavecchia to enjoy significant discounts on train travel, making it easier and more affordable to reach their destinations.
Under the terms of this renewed agreement, cruise passengers can book train tickets with discounts of up to 75% on the Base fare for high-speed trains such as Frecciarossa, Frecciargento, and Frecciabianca. For those taking Intercity and Intercity Notte trains, the discounts are even more substantial, reaching up to 80%. This intermodal approach not only makes travel more economical but also highlights the commitment of both companies to promote sustainable travel options.
The partnership extends its benefits beyond Royal Caribbean's offerings, incorporating travelers who choose to sail with Celebrity Cruises and Silversea, both of which are part of the Royal group. Passengers departing from Ravenna, Civitavecchia, and Venice can take advantage of these discounts, as well as those arriving or departing from the airports of Bologna, Rome, and Venice. This comprehensive coverage ensures that a wide range of travelers can benefit from the initiative.
Booking a discounted train ticket is straightforward. Travelers can easily make their reservations through the Trenitalia website or app by selecting the "Special Event" offer and entering the code "ROYAL" for Royal Caribbean journeys, or "CELEBRITY" or "SILVERSEA" for their respective cruises. Alternatively, tickets can also be purchased at travel agencies that are affiliated with Trenitalia.
One of the key advantages of traveling by train, aside from the significant savings, is the elimination of the hassles associated with driving and parking. Travelers can select from a variety of travel options that cater to their needs, with offers available for both first and second-class travel, including service levels such as Business, Premium, Standard, and accommodations like sleeper cars and couchettes.
Looking ahead, the partnership is also set to introduce exciting themed vacations. In May 2025, travelers will have the opportunity to embark on Eurovision-themed cruises aboard the Allure of the Seas. This unique offering adds a fun twist to the already appealing cruise options available.
For those seeking adventure, the partnership includes enticing cruise itineraries such as the 7-night "Greece & Croatia Cruise," which departs round trip from Ravenna, and the "Western Mediterranean Cruise," also lasting 7 nights, with a round trip from Civitavecchia. These options promise unforgettable experiences for travelers eager to explore beautiful destinations.
The renewal of this partnership between Trenitalia and Royal Caribbean not only benefits cruise passengers by providing them with affordable and convenient travel options but also underscores the importance of collaboration in the tourism sector. By integrating train and cruise travel, both companies are paving the way for a more interconnected and sustainable travel experience.
