Royal Majesty

(Majesty Cruise Line: 1992-97)

 

The Royal Majesty, was originally ordered by Birka Line for their 24hour cruises out of Stockholm. Following the bankruptcy of builders Wartsila, the contract was resold to Majesty Cruise Line and the vessel was completed as Caribbean cruise ship Royal Majesty in 1992. she initially worked three- and four-night cruises out of Florida, but in 1995 opened a new summer Boston-Bermuda route, terminating at St George's rather than the usual Hamilton in Bermuda. Royal Majesty returned to Florida in the winter. In June 1995 she ran aground on Rose and Crown shoal of Nantucket Island, due to a combination of faulty GPS and inadequate watch being maintained. Royal Majesty was 17 miles off course. She remained aground for 24 hours before tugs towed her off. In September 1995, Royal Majesty took part in a Titanic expedition and spent 5 days at the wreck site. Many survivors were on board to witness the raising of part of Titanic as well as many salvaged pieces from the debris field were onboard. In 1997 Royal Majesty was sold to NCL, being renamed Norwegian Majesty, and soon received a similar lengthening to Norwegian Wind/Dream.
