Majesty of the Seas

Launched in 1992 and christened by Queen Sonja of Norway, the Majesty of the Seas is a Sovereign class ship with two sisters in the Royal Caribbean Cruises fleet: Monarch of the Seas and Sovereign of the Seas.

In 2007, at the age of 15, the vessel went through a substantial refurbishment project, costing more than £20 million. The work was greatly needed, and the result was a ship that looked brand new and which provided all of the bells and whistles found on many of the fleet's younger liners.

Today, holidaymakers looking for a cruise should be sure to consider a voyage on the Majesty of the Seas. It typically departs from Miami on three and four-night trips around the Caribbean, with ports of call in sunny destinations like Nassau, Key West and Coco Cay.
