Empress To Be Based in Miami for Royal Caribbean

Transferring from Pullmantur this coming spring, Royal Caribbean International will put the Empress of the Seas in Miami for short cruises starting in March.

Empress will also offer fast pier-to-ship boarding with earlier boarding times of 11:00 a.m. to help guests maximize their vacation time even further.

“We’re excited to welcome Empress of the Seas back to the family, and back to the Caribbean,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International.  “Empress’s short Caribbean getaways will give adventure-seekers the opportunity to party, chill and repeat. They will feel like it’s the weekend every day on Empress.”

As Miami’s newest hometown ship, Empress of the Seas will offer short 4- and 5-night getaways from Miami to Nassau, The Bahamas; Cozumel and Costa Maya, Mexico; Grand Cayman and Key West, Florida. The cruise line is promoting longer stays in each port. Some five-night cruises overnight in Cozumel.
