Saga was previously served.
Saga had a section that included Pullmantur Cruises. Their ships were built in 1981. Hapag-Lloyd Cruises used to operate the ships. Star Cruises purchased them in 1999. In 2004, they were renamed SuperStar Europe and SuperStar Aries. They were back in service by 2010 as the Saga Sapphire. The ship has had a major refit.
Pullmantur has added the Zenith, Horizon and Horizon to its fleet. These ships, which are based in Dubai, offer cruises across the Middle East. However, the company files bankruptcy within 2020. The company cites the COVID-19 pandemic 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. The company employs minimum staff to maintain all three vessels, in order to ensure the safety and well-being of crew and passengers. The company said that it does not expect to make a profit in the immediate future. It may instead scrap the fleet and put them into "cold storage." Customers who wish to cancel their cruises cannot get refunds from the company.
The Pullmantur Joint Venture is expected to close by the end of this year. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions and regulatory approvals. The deal is expected to provide RCL with an immaterial one time gain and will have a smaller impact on its yields and expenses once completed. RCL's bottom-line in 2016 will have a neutral, or slight positive, effect from this deal.

How To
How to avoid becoming seasick during a cruise
A hat can help prevent seasickness when you cruise. A wide-brimmed head hat can prevent motion sickness. It keeps the head still and helps keep it from moving.
A hat can also keep water off the head, decreasing the amount of moisture in the air. This makes it easier to breathe for those who experience dizziness when inhaled moist air.
Another tip is that you should drink lots of fluids. Avoid alcohol or caffeine. These drinks dehydrate the body causing more fluid to move around in the stomach. The amount of salt in the bloodstream can be reduced by drinking enough liquids. Salt causes the body's retention of water, which can lead to nausea.
Try eating salty foods if you feel nauseated. Salty foods make the stomach produce more hydrochloric Acid, which is helpful in breaking down food particles.
If none of these tips work, there are medications you can take to relieve seasickness. You should be aware that side effects can include dry mouth and constipation as well as headaches.
