About Grandeur of the Seas
Grandeur of the Seas is the oldest and smallest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet, a Vision-class vessel of about 74,000 gross tons built at Kvaerner Masa-Yards in Helsinki and in service since December 1996. Onboard there is a full-service spa, a casino, an outdoor jogging track and several whirlpools, and her most recent major refit was in 2012. A plan announced in 2019 to move her to Pullmantur Cruises was dropped in 2020, so she stayed with Royal Caribbean. For winter 2026-27 she sails Southern Caribbean cruises that start in Colón, Panama, or Cartagena, Colombia, and she moves to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the following summer.
