The Norwegian Majesty (formerly Royal Majesty) was originally ordered by Birka Line for their 24 hour cruises out of Stockholm. Following the bankruptcy of builders Wartsila, the contract was resold to Majesty Cruise Line and the vessel was completed as Caribbean cruise ship Royal Majesty in 1992. She was transferred into the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) fleet in 1997 as Norwegian Majesty, and in 1998 received a 112 foot lengthening at Lloyd Werft Shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany. A smaller ship by today's standards, The Norwegian Majesty offers a more intimate and slower-paced cruise than that of newer and larger vessels.

The Norwegian Majesty currently makes her home port in Charleston, South Carolina during the winter months and sails a variety of Caribbean itineraries. During the spring and summer months, she is based in Boston and sails 7-day cruises to Bermuda.

Within the next few years, she is destined for transfer into the Star Cruises fleet. Her new name has not yet been decided. [1]
