MS Majesty of the Seas is a Sovereign-class cruise ship owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd and operated by Royal Caribbean International. She was built at the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, France, and placed in service on April 26, 1992. Her Godmother is Queen Sonja of Norway.
Plans to transfer Majesty of the Seas to Pullmantur in 2016 had been announced on November 21, 2014, however in July 2015, Royal Caribbean reversed those plans, instead stating that Majesty of the Seas would stay with Royal Caribbean International.
Majesty of the Seas is routinely used by Royal Caribbean on a 7-day cycle that includes two weekly voyages. Four night cruises operate every Monday through Friday from the Port of Miami, stopping at Nassau, Coco Cay (a private island owned by Royal Caribbean), and Key West. A three-night cruise follows to Nassau and Coco Cay only each weekend. However, this 7 day cycle is no longer used, the updated itinerary is below
From 2011 to 2014, the Majesty of the Seas was the location of the annually held 70000 Tons of Metal Festival. The festival sailed from Miami to a different Caribbean destination each year before returning to Miami after four nights. For the 2015 festival, Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas will hold the event rather than the Majesty.
