Grandeur of the Seas is a Vision-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International that features an on-board casino, full-service spa, multiple whirlpools, an outdoor jogging track, and numerous bars and restaurants. Built by Kværner Masa-Yards in Helsinki, the ship was initially deployed on seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruises from Miami but has since operated routes throughout Europe, the Caribbean, and North American ports. Currently the oldest and smallest ship still in Royal Caribbean's fleet, Grandeur of the Seas continues to operate cruises to destinations including Bermuda, the Bahamas, and the Southern Caribbean.
