Rhapsody of the Seas: 23 departures from Piraeus, the gateway to the Greek islands

Our 80 departures on Rhapsody of the Seas split between San Juan, Puerto Rico (49), and Piraeus, the port of Athens (23). Two seas, two seasons, and a transatlantic crossing between them.

The Piraeus departures deserve attention: few Royal Caribbean ships board in Greece, and a ship of 2,040 guests suits island ports better than a 5,700-berth unit, which often has to anchor offshore and tender its guests ashore.

The most recently refitted of her class

Rhapsody went through the Cadiz yard at the end of 2019. In the Vision class that is the most recent refit: Grandeur of the Seas dates from May 2012, Vision of the Seas from 2013.

Seven years since the last dry dock on a 1997 hull is an interval we consider sound, and we give it before the year of construction. It is the figure that best describes the state of the spaces aboard.

The measurements, and what we refuse to publish

Delivered in 1997, Rhapsody measures 279 metres and has 12 decks, 11 of them accessible to guests. She carries 2,040 guests at double occupancy with 772 crew, that is 2.64 guests per crew member — in the better half of the measured spread across the fleet, which runs from 2.38 to 3.00.

Her tonnage is contradicted within our own source, with two values. We publish neither. For an order of magnitude, Grandeur of the Seas, of the same class and delivered a year earlier, is rated at 73,817 gross tons.

What the small format opens up

A 2,040-berth ship berths in ports a 5,700-berth ship cannot enter. In the Aegean as in the eastern Caribbean, that changes the list of possible calls, and often the quality of the day ashore.

The trade-off is steadiness. A hull that size moves more than a 226,963-ton unit such as Harmony of the Seas. A traveller sensitive to seasickness should know that before booking an autumn Aegean itinerary.

Thirty years between the company's hulls

Rhapsody dates from 1997, Legend of the Seas from 2026. Inside a single brand, a client can board a ship of 11 decks and 2,040 berths or one of 20 decks and 5,610. A factor of 2.7 in capacity, double the deck count.

That means a client who enjoyed a Royal Caribbean cruise has not necessarily enjoyed the Royal Caribbean format. The question to ask on their return is about the ship, not about the company.

Who she suits

Greek island travellers, couples who prefer a human-scale ship, and those looking for the Vision class with the freshest refit. A family with young children will find more facilities on a large ship.

Our Royal Caribbean advisors confirm the exact fare, inclusions and applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

From San Juan, Puerto Rico (49 departures), and Piraeus, the port of Athens (23), out of 80 in total. Two seas and a transatlantic crossing between them.
Yes, with 23 departures from Piraeus in our catalogue. Few Royal Caribbean ships board in Greece.
Because she berths in ports a 5,700-berth ship cannot enter. A large ship often has to anchor offshore and tender its guests ashore, which costs time on land.
Yes, at the Cadiz yard at the end of 2019. That is the most recent refit in the Vision class: Grandeur of the Seas dates from May 2012 and Vision of the Seas from 2013.
She carries 2,040 guests at double occupancy with 772 crew, that is 2.64 guests per crew member.
Because our source gives two different values. A figure contradicted within its own source is never published, across the whole fleet.
She measures 279 metres and has 12 decks, 11 of them accessible to guests. That is the format of the whole Vision class.
In 1997. Hers is a 29-year-old hull, in a Royal Caribbean fleet running from 1996 for Grandeur of the Seas to 2026 for Legend of the Seas.
By a flight to Athens with at least one connection, then a short transfer to the pier. The transfer is never included by default and is arranged separately.
In about five hours of flying, followed by a transfer to the pier. It is the simplest of her ports for a Quebec traveller.
Less than a large ship. A hull this size moves more than a 226,963-ton unit such as Harmony of the Seas, particularly on an autumn Aegean itinerary.
Twelve decks in total, 11 of them accessible to guests, against 20 for an Icon-class ship.
Less well than a large ship. Over 279 metres and 11 accessible decks, the children's facilities are more limited than on a 362-metre unit.
The refit date first. It better describes the state of the spaces aboard, and Rhapsody's, from late 2019, is the freshest in her class.
