While working on the blog post on cruise line vaccination requirements, I found that the Majesty of the Seas, the Royal Caribbean cruise ship we took to Havana, Cuba two years ago, had been sold.

Cruise Critic reported last December:

(12:15 p.m. EST) -- After months of speculation, Royal Caribbean has confirmed its two smallest vessels, Empress of the Seas and Majesty of the Seas, will leave the Royal Caribbean fleet this month.  

The 1990-built Empress of the Seas and the 1992-built Majesty of the Seas were the oldest vessels in the Royal Caribbean fleet, but ones that nonetheless had a loyal following of cruisers who prized them for their classic design, smaller size and affordable itineraries.

Royal Caribbean says the two vessels have been sold to an undisclosed party in Asia-Pacific for future cruise service and have not been slated for scrapping at this time. Currently, Empress of the Seas is en-route to Valetta, Malta, while Majesty of the Seas is at anchor off the Greek island of Crete.

A few days ago, Royal Caribbean Blog disclosed who bought the Majesty of the Seas: 

Remember when Royal Caribbean announced it sold Majesty of the Seas in December 2020? We may know the owner now.

Royal Caribbean did not disclose the buyer at the time of the sale in December, but through maritime records it now appears we know the owner.

The listing for Majesty is now operator/manager of 'Eaglepower Shipping Ltd' aka SeaJets.

Seajets is a Greek/Cypriot ferry company that bought a lot of ships from British cruise line Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV).  SeaJets plans on sailing them in inter Greek trips or turning them around and selling to a third party.
