Saga previously operated this facility.
Saga also offered Pullmantur cruises. Their ships were designed and built in 1981. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises used to operate the ships. Star Cruises bought them in 1999. They were renamed SuperStar Europe (now SuperStar Aries) in 2004. They were back in service by 2010 as the Saga Sapphire. The ship has been subject to a thorough refit.
Pullmantur added the Zenith to their fleets. These ships are based out of Dubai and offer cruises around the Middle East. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2020. The COVID-19 epidemic is cited by the company as the reason for the reorganization. The company has two ships scrapped and will no longer operate any new ships.
Royal Caribbean influence
Royal Caribbean owns 49 percent of Pullmantur, which operates two former Royal Caribbean ships, the Sovereign of the Seas and the Monarch of the Seas. To ensure safety for passengers and crew, the company maintains three ships at minimal maintenance levels. The company says it cannot make a profit on the fleet in the near future. Instead, it may scrap the fleet and place them in "cold storage." Customers who want to cancel their cruises will not be refunded.
The Pullmantur joint-venture is expected to close late in the year. The transaction is subjected to regulatory approvals and closing conditions. It is expected to bring RCL an immaterial gain once it is completed. The deal will also have a minimal impact on the company’s expenses and yields. RCL will see a slight or neutral impact on its bottom line in 2016,

How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
A hat is the best way to prevent seasickness while on cruise. A wide-brimmed hat helps prevent motion sickness by keeping the head from moving too much.
The hat keeps water from the face and reduces the moisture in the air. People who feel dizzy from breathing in moist air can breathe easier.
Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the liver, causing fluid to pool in the stomach. Drinking enough liquids will help reduce the amount of salt in the bloodstream. Salt causes the body and kidneys to retain water. This can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods can cause your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acids, which aids in breaking down food particles.
There are medication options available to help seasickness. Side effects of some medications include dry mouth, dry eyes, constipation and blurred vision.
