Grandeur of the Seas

A ship designed to go almost anywhere

The MS Grandeur of the Seas is of Royal Caribbean's six Vision Class ships which have been designed to be able to go almost anywhere.

Features include a full-service spa, six whirlpools, an outdoor jogging track and a number of bars and restaurants.

While adults can enjoy the relaxing surroundings of our Solarium or state-of-the-art Day Spa & Fitness Centre, children can have the time of their lives with the Adventure Ocean Youth Programme.

Grandeur of the Seas, built in 1996 and refurbished in 2005,  was initially deployed on seven-night cruises from Miami, Florida, to the Eastern Caribbean from 1996 - 2000, when the Explorer of the Seas was launched and took over the Grandeur’s run.

Since 2000, Grandeur has been deployed in Europe as well as back in the Caribbean homeported in cities such as Tampa, Ft. Lauderdale, and New Orleans.
