Major League Soccer’s very own Inter Miami and the global cruise line giant, Royal Caribbean International (RCI), last month announced their partnership that intertwines the essence of vacations and sports.
With this development, the brand has become the club’s main partner and official vacation partner.
Unveiling a new era: La Presentación
Inter Miami and RCI hosted a grand event in July, “La Presentación”, at the bustling DRV PNK Stadium. There, football legends from around the globe and their families were formally welcomed to Miami. The central theme, “Freedom to Dream,” served as a testament to the shared vision and ambition both brands possess.
