Royal Caribbean’s global itineraries make it easy for astrology-loving holidaymakers to plan their dream holidays using astrocartography.

Astrocartography – the practice of mapping planetary influences onto geographic locations from a birth chart – has surged by 53% in popularity in the last year. The practice identifies which places on earth resonate most with an individual, giving holidaymakers the perfect opportunity to visit new locations that cosmically align with where to travel for their best
holiday. Embracing the growing trend, Royal Caribbean has partnered with leading astrologer, Clarisse Monahan, to help travellers align their holidays with personal goals.

The Stars Align: How Astrocartography Works

Astrocartography – “astro” relating to stars and “cartography” the study of maps – is personal to each individual, painting a unique picture based on a snapshot of the planets’ positions at the exact moment of birth.

“Astrocartography takes this personalised cosmic blueprint revealing where different planetary energies are strongest for each individual,” said Monahan. “These personalised planetary lines help people discover or map locations for love, work and travel, crisscrossing the world and many intersecting over the ocean, making Royal Caribbean’s diverse range of global itineraries perfect for connecting with these unique energies. Some locations resonate with us more than others, and astrocartography can help find these place-based lures to optimise romance, success in work, or create family memories on holiday.”

Whether it’s the Venus lines (love, beauty, and harmony), Mars lines (adventure, passion and drive), Moon line (nurturing and emotional connections), Jupiter lines (luck, expansion, and abundance) or Saturn lines (challenges, discipline, and lessons) that people want to explore, Monahan explained that people “move between places to direct a sense of purpose, rather than staying put to figure out who we are.”

To support those who are looking to explore locations that cross over their birth chart, Royal Caribbean is helping to align the magic of the seas and the stars at once.
