The beautiful OCEANIC of 1965


When Royal Caribbean took over the successful independent Spanish cruise operator Pullmantur, I thought that it might be the end for their classic OCEANIC. Then ships were transferred between parent companies and when it was announced the SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS was in line for a late 2008 transfer to the Mediterranean, I thought once more. Now that's it. But no, Pullmantur intends to keep the OCEANIC until 2010 and the new SOLAS regulations. And she has got new funnel colours this month while receiving attention at a shipyard in Valletta, Malta.
