Royal Caribbean sells ship to Thomson Cruises

Legend of the Seas

Royal Caribbean are selling one of their older ships, Legend of the Seas, to Thomson Cruises. The ship will be renamed as TUI Discovery 2 and will join Thomson’s fleet in March 2017.

The ship will be all-inclusive and will offer popular facilities such as  an outdoor movie screen, rock-climbing wall and mini golf course. She will provide accommodation for 1,832 guests and 726 crew.

Previous to this, Thomson also aquired another of Royal Caribbean’s old ships – Slendour of the Seas become Thomson Discovery – a move that was obviously very popular with cruisers as it is being repeated with this new sister ship. Two more ships, the 1,900-passenger Mein Schiff 1 and 2, are scheduled to transfer to Thomson from sister company TUI in 2018 and 2019.
