Ombud, I remember you are keeping track of the disposition of older ships. The Satoshi, formerly Regal Princess and Pacific Dawn has left Panama for Malta, then said to be bound for Alang.
Do we know for sure she is heading for Alang, Pretty sure I read somewhere the scrap deal fell through when she got arrested in Panama. And she was sold to a new buyer.?

(1) The Majesty transponder has now been turned off for over a month. Would love to know if she is still docked in Greece and what the ship is doing.
(2) Empress has been at the same dock in Oman for over three weeks now. Must be having work done before sailing for India.
Pretty sure Empress was bought by Cordelia Cruises.

In case anyone is interested, Majesty now has a Greek owner and is currently in Greece.
Interesting it said Majesty has attracted alot of interest for potential buyers.

Is there some sort of relationship between Cordelia Cruises and Royal? As in any former employees of Royal working for Cordelia Cruises?
I wonder who bought Majesty??

Whether or not Empress sails for RCI in 2021, there won’t be any Alaska or Canada cruises until Canada opens its ports to cruise ships.their was mention a bit ago about the Jones Act being temporarily suspended but i think it was based on what Canadas going to do.

I believe you are both onto something. My thoughts are the Canadian border will still be closed to cruise guests next summer because Canadians are not supposed to be “fully” vaccinated until the end of 2021. Perhaps RC is realizing the same thing and is pricing Alaska out of the market. I’m speculating that any tourists will also not be welcome until the end of 2021 as well.I know the cruise lines were possibly looking at a temporary suspension of the Jones Act so they can sail Direct Seattle to Alaska. Not sure the status on that. But I think if Canada does open back up to ships it may be limited ships in port at one time. Alaska will be in very dire straits without cruise ships in 2021.

We are kind of wondering that too. First, cdc is saying no cruises over 7 days, and who knows when Canada will open back up. Then there might not be any other ships sailing from Montreal. Not looking good.
They could still do 7 day one way Cruises like New York to Montreal then a 7 day return Montreal to New York. You're probably going to see some interesting itineraries when re strart begins without 7 plus days.

I know someone was advertising for a Charter for Marco Polo...and now heading to Dubai... Even though she was sold for scrap value doesnt mean she will be scrapped.

Infinity and Constellation have not yet been “revolutionized” like their sisters.
so i guess it would make them the perfect candidates

Speculation is that their owner has bought the ships as purely an investment (and not necessarily to operate them) and intends to resell them to new owners at a profit once the COVID pandemic passes and the value of the ships increase.

I would suspect Seajets may Charter them too.

'There are plenty more ships in the sea'.
Crunch time, however is coming to Pullmantur. Their website still says cruises are suspended only as far as 13th November and are still advertising cruises on ships currently sold and scrapped. Their public line, at least, will have to change.
is it possible they may use a ship from RCCL existing fleet

Both of those ships are listed for the second round in Turkey.
Apparently you can cancel Carnival Fascination off that list shes been sold to new owners in Asia.
-
The Marella Dream is now their too on other side of the ship beside Horizon. And their is some speculation that Horizon and Zenith could be used for a Pullmantur re start?? But will have to wait and see.
-
The Black Watch and Boudicca along with the Albatros were also sold as accomodation ships in the past few months also! I had found out 2 weeks ago the Carnival Fascination was being sold to South Korean interests.
-
I bet Carnival is looking at redeploying ships to some Caribbean home ports! Bet they wish they wouldnt of dropped San Juan.

Announced today that it went to Mystic Investments, an Italian travel firm that holds a couple of river cruising companies and an Antarctic cruise line called Mystic Cruises. No word on what they will do with it. Not suited to either role. Amount not disclosed. However, the company that bought the former Pacific Dawn, which is to become the Satoshi said they could not have afforded the purchase in 2019. Perhaps too good a deal to pass up?
I did read they were gonna use it for the British and German markets but not sure if she will sail under their Astro Ocean brand or not

The Marella Celebration is currently in Cold Lay up in Perama Greece debranded beside the Horizon. The Celebration is just waiting for room to go to Aliaga. As for the Dream...who knows what her fate is? But I did see she had been sold...!

The ship is not in "long term lay up". The ship was sold.
The Fascination was in long term lay up but i just saw it has been sold.

The auctioneer makes notice all rights extinguished prior to sale...clear title. Thanks! Interesting to follow.
What, no Instacart for cruise ships on lay-up?
Well to go from Cadiz to Anchorage back to Cadiz sail around for a while now back at anchorage. How is that not odd. For a ship in long term cold lay up she seems to move alot.

Elation and Paradise have azipods.
On 10/2/2020 at 9:23 AM, mtnesterz said:Eggarforresterships.com/auctions is handling the sale the CMV ships. The first auction is Oct 8. They post buyer and price. I have always been interested to know how much a used cruise ship actually sells for, not just the asking price. The smaller cruise lines that don't go under, pardon the phrase, are now able to update their fleet.
Regarding Elation and Paradise, they are the newest and have the forward deck cabins added, likely they will be the final two Fantasy class to go.
FYI Carnival holds the morgage on Vasco de Gama,Magellan and Columbus. Well see how the auction plays out for that.

An odd thing happened recently...Carnival Fascination 3 days ago or so went from Cadiz to Cadiz Anchorage and just today came back to Cadiz. What an odd movement.
-
I did read an article talking about 30 sold cruise ships and it showed The Carnival Fascination has been sold to buyers from South Korea. Would be an interesting development if that was the case.

Just now, drsel said:2 minutes ago, roeco9084 said:Sun Princess has been sold to Peace Boat (Japan) and rumors are Sea Princess has been sold to Astro Ocean.
How can we book these, if possible
I think Astro Ocean operates exclusive out of China....and Peace Boat is an Educational sea going network..! They currently operate Ocean Dream (Ex Carnival Tropicale)

I read an interesting post on another forum that the new startup could possibly be CVI Cruise (owned by CMV former Chief Executive officer) and would make sense cause the new startup apparently has experience and is expected to deploy the ship in the UK Market and whats interesting is that Pacific Dawn was supposed to go to CMV before they went under as the Amy Johnson. Not sure who else it could be??
