Royal Caribbean International is collaborating with award-winning actress in one of TV’s most popular dramas, “Pretty Little Liars” and enthusiastic voyager Shay Mitchell to be the brand’s Adventurist—an adventure adviser and storyteller for the world’s most adventurous cruise line.
In addition to embarking on motivational adventures with the brand and sharing her encounters, Shay will team up with Royal Caribbean specialists to build up a series of destination experiences for a definitive Caribbean cruise, to be uncovered this fall.
As a seasoned traveller, Shay will set sail on board one of Royal Caribbean’s adventure-packed ships this month to start moulding the new, Shay recommended adventures.
“I’ve always had a love for travel, and am fortunate to have been able to explore some of the most amazing places around the world, learning quickly that the journey is as important as the destination,” said Shay.
“I’m thrilled to take what I have learned from my own travels and dive in with Royal Caribbean to develop the ultimate Caribbean adventure for travelers like me, who are always seeking something new and craving deeper connections to the destinations they visit.”
“It’s in Royal Caribbean’s nature to seek and deliver the unexpected—the adventures and experiences that make travelers’ jaws drop, their adrenaline rise and their memories unforgettable,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.
“When we started to think of who could perfectly embody what vacationing with us is all about in our newly created Adventurist role, Shay was someone who rose to the top immediately. She personifies who we are and our spirit—the spirit to ‘Come Seek.’ The ideas that Shay brings to the table will help create an adventure in the Caribbean that will redefine what many think of as a cruise vacation and inspire the next generation of cruisers.”
Shay’s adventurous soul has driven her to visit a portion of the world’s most rousing destinations, from hot-air ballooning over Morocco to skydiving in Dubai. She’s turn into a specialist at searching out true encounters, offering them to her following of more than 17 million over several social media platforms, including her immersive YouTube series—Shaycation—which debuted in 2015 and gives viewers an inside look at her craving for wanderlust-inducing explorations.
