- Santorini is one of the most beautiful islands in Greece and is one of Royal Caribbean's main ports of call. Due to the shallow waters around the island, the cruise ship will not dock directly and you will need to use a tender boat to get to and from the island.
- The main tourist attraction of Santorini is Fira, a town with white and blue-roofed houses perched on a cliff. You can get there by cable car, donkey or on foot.
- In addition to Fira, there are other towns with their own unique charms such as Oia, known for its beautiful sunsets, and Imerovigli, known for its tranquility, allowing you to experience something truly special in Santorini.
Santorini is one of the most beautiful islands in Greece, and is one of Royal Caribbean Cruise's main ports of call. While some ports of call are not visited at all, most tourists disembark in Santorini. However, due to Santorini's shallow waters, cruise ships do not dock directly on the island and instead stay afloat in slightly deeper waters. As a result, passengers must take a small boat called a tender to reach the island.

Cruise and Tender Boats
Small boats attached to the cruise ship are for emergency use and are different from tender boats. Tender boats are the boats used to ferry passengers between the cruise ship and Santorini. Tender boats are provided free of charge and are paid for directly by the cruise line.

Santorini Tour Starting from Fira Town
The main port of call in Santorini is Fira Town. Fira Town is a representative tourist attraction of Santorini, with white and blue-roofed houses perched on the cliffs. You can start here and explore the beautiful Santorini.
Docking takes place at the location below.
There are three ways to get to Fira Town:
- Cable Car Ride : This is the most convenient way to get to Fira Town quickly. However, there are usually long waiting times, so you may have to wait about an hour.
- Donkey Ride : It is relatively fast, but the donkey's movement can be unpredictable and uncomfortable. It can also be uncomfortable due to animal welfare issues.
- Walking : A challenging way that requires you to climb 588 steps. Recommended for those with sufficient stamina.
