    Sovereign of the Seas: the ship no longer exists

    Sovereign of the Seas sailed for Royal Caribbean from 1988 to 2008. She was transferred to Pullmantur in November 2008 under the name Sovereign, with a first sailing on 23 March 2009.

    Laid up cold in 2020 during the pandemic, she was sold for scrap and beached at Aliağa, Turkey, on 23 July 2020. Demolition began in August 2020 and finished in February 2021. The hull no longer exists.

    Why this page still exists

    Because the name still circulates. A client who remembers a cruise from the 1990s or 2000s still looks for this ship, and it is better that they find a clear answer than an error page or an outdated brochure.

    Sovereign of the Seas no longer appears in the Royal Caribbean catalogue, and we have no departures to sell on this ship. The supplier's own site also answers with an error for this address: two independent measurements, one answer.

    What to turn to today

    The closest ship in spirit is Grandeur of the Seas, delivered in 1996 and still in service. With 1,992 guests at double occupancy and 11 decks, hers is the oldest active hull in the company and the most compact format of the 30 ships in service.

    For an intermediate format, Vision of the Seas from 1998 offers 10 decks and 33 departures from Baltimore, reachable by car from Montreal. At the other end, Icon of the Seas from 2024 rises to 20 decks and 5,610 guests.

    Our Royal Caribbean advisors confirm the exact fare, inclusions and applicable conditions before any booking, in line with Quebec consumer protection rules.
