Monarch of the Seas transferred to Pullmantur

Royal Caribbean just made it official that the 1991 built, 73,941grt ship will be leaving their fleet. She will be joining the Spanish brand Pullmantur, joining her sister, the Sovereign. Transfer date will be April 1, 2013, meaning her last Royal Caribbean voyage will be on March 29, 2013.

The  2,744 pax ship will increase Pullmantur’s fleet capacity by 25%. While these ships may now be small by today’s standards, Pullmantur tends to operate older, smaller tonnage. Mostly ex-Royal Caribbean vessels.
