Mariner of the Seas to Augment Record-setting Europe Deployment in 2011

Royal Caribbean International announced the redeployment of Mariner of the Seas, which will take effect in January 2011.  Mariner of the Seas will offer a short South America season before debuting in the Mediterranean as Royal Caribbean International’s record-setting 11th ship in the region for summer 2011.  Mariner of the Seas will homeport at Rome (Civitavecchia) from March until October 2011, replacing Splendour of the Seas, which will now homeport in Venice, offering 10- and 11-night Greek Isles and Turkey itineraries for the season.  Mariner of the Seas will then return to North America for the 2011-12 winter season, offering seven-night Western Caribbean itineraries from Galveston, Texas, replacing Voyager of the Seas.  As a result, Voyager of the Seas will mark Royal Caribbean’s return to New Orleans in winter 2011-12, offering holidaymakers another Gulf Coast port to embark on a memorable seven-night Western Caribbean cruise.

The Mexican Riviera has traditionally been an important market for Royal Caribbean International, with the Port of Los Angeles and Mexican local, state and federal government agencies, and their private sectors playing a supportive role as valued partners.  While Royal Caribbean International looks forward to returning to the region in the future, Mariner of the Seas will sail its final round-trip Mexican Riviera itinerary from Los Angeles on 9 January 2011.

Guests currently booked on Mariner of the Seas’ Mexican Riviera sailings from 16 January 2011, and onward will be contacted with the following offer. Until 6 May 2010, affected guests can opt for a full refund of any fares paid, or enjoy $200 onboard credit per stateroom ($400 per suite category stateroom) when they rebook their holiday, at the same fare or lower prevailing fare, on a Mariner of the Seas sailing before 16 January 2011, or on the same 2011 departure date aboard Voyager of the Seas, sailing from Galveston.  Travel agents also will receive a $50 bonus commission for rebooking affected clients, whose names and deposits have been submitted, to these Mariner of the Seas and Voyager of the Seas sailings.  More information is available at www.RoyalCaribbean.com/MarinerOfTheSeasRedeployment.
