Imperial Majesty Cruise Line was a budget cruise line that had operated 2 and 3 day voyages out of Port Everglades, Florida to Nassau, Bahamas. The company was founded in 1999. The cruise line attracted both vacationers and vintage ship fans from around the world.[1] The cruise line's current operations ended on March 9, 2009, when the Regal Empress was retired. In that same week, its operations were replaced by Celebration Cruise Line, operating for the same company that Imperial Majesty was part of.
History
Imperial Majesty Cruise Line begun operations in 1999 by chartering the 1955-built SS OceanBreeze from Premier Cruise Line and operating two-day cruises out of Port Everglades to Nassau, Bahamas.
