Royal Caribbean Cruises Transfers Ship to Pullmantur

Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. announced today that Royal Caribbean International’s Sovereign of the Seas will be reassigned to the company’s Pullmantur fleet, and the Los Angeles-based Monarch of the Seas will assume Sovereign of the Seas’ sailings out of Port Canaveral.
