Royal Caribbean International's Empress of the Seas To Join Pullmantur Fleet

Royal Caribbean International today announced plans to transfer Empress of the Seas to Pullmantur, the Madrid-based cruise & tour operator that parent company, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. purchased in November, 2006.

"Empress of the Seas is a wonderful ship that has served our brand well," said Adam Goldstein, President of Royal Caribbean International. "This transfer will help to increase Pullmantur's capacity and meet demand for it's distinctive style of cruise holidays in the European market".

The last voyage of Empress as part of the Royal Caribbean International fleet will be March 7, 2008. Guests booked on all sailings after this date will be contacted by Royal Caribbean International representatives to transfer existing reservations to similar accommodations onboard other Royal Caribbean ships. Royal Caribbean International has established a toll-free number for travel agents and guests with questions regarding the re-accommodated sailings. The toll-free number is (888) 281-9344.

Empress of the Seas joined the Royal Caribbean fleet in June, 1990 and was built by Chantiers de L'Atlantique in St Nazaire, France. She was refurbished in May, 2004. The 48,563 gross-registered ton ship has a double-occupancy guest capacity of 2,020

Sad to see this lady go.

I guess she will replace the ships that RC moved from Pullmantur to create the Azamara line.

You might have read this on another board-- I posted this information back in Feb when I was onboard the Majesty relaunch cruise. I thought I posted it here too, but I guess I forgot to add that info here
