It's been on the market for ages - perhaps a couple of years? Can anyone confirm that - but I'm sure it's been a long time - doesn't seem like anyone's falling over themselves to buy it! :eek:

Yes, they have been trying to sell the old ferry for a few years now. This is the reason it keeps sailing, they can't get rid of it.

 

The story goes that Thomson had to take over the running of the ship as their parent company TUI owned it and the other half of Island Cruises, RCI? had pulled out.

 

They originally had her in the same brochure as the rest but it caused endless brand confusion so now they market her seperately.

 

If the Escape should escape in some way maybe they should transfer the Majesty to Island cuises and get a better ship for Thomson.

And perhaps even more interestingly, on the same site - just look what else is being offered for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I put it in a post the other year thinking it was new but a few posters were aware of it. Not exactly a rush to buy it . :)

I have seen similar quotes for the Destiny and when they got rid it's fair to say all hell broke loose. Thomson could do well to scrap any future plans with the Louis Shipping company (as said in other posts) for a company that has ships that would fit into what Thomson customers expect of them .:)

I totally agree we have just been on the Majesty and in our opinion it is 3 star cruising at 4 star prices, we stayed at a louis hotel the first week and the Louis Majesty was in the brochure in the hotel room.

Obviously Thomson have got this vessel cheap due to the Greek financial situation and are making a packet out of it.
