Grandeur of the Seas is a Vision-class cruise ship owned and operated by Royal Caribbean International. Features include a full-service spa, six whirlpools, an outdoor jogging track and a number of bars and restaurants. It was announced on 16 October 2019 that Grandeur of the Seas would be transferred in the second quarter of 2021 to Pullmantur Cruises, in which Royal Caribbean had a 49% stake in at the time.[3] These plans were cancelled in mid-2020.[4] It is currently the oldest and smallest ship still operating for Royal Caribbean.[5]
