The vessel will set sail to the Mediterranean in May 2022 on a mix of itineraries departing Greece, Italy, Spain, and Israel.
Rhapsody will join the cruise line’s previously announced lineup in Europe, which includes Anthem of the Seas and the brand-new Odyssey of the Seas — both part of the line’s “smart ship” Quantum class. It will expand on an already-exciting summer lineup, with over 25 destinations in the Greek Isles, southern France, Italy, Turkey, Croatia, and more.

In August, the ship will head for Israel where it will homeport in Haifa through October 31. From there, it will operate a series of three to eight-night roundtrip cruises to Greece and Cyprus, visiting ports including Limassol, Athens, Santorini, Rhodes, and Mykonos.
