Mariner of the Seas is a second generation Voyager-class vessel of Royal Caribbean International with American paralympic athlete Jean Driscoll as its godmother. The ship underwent a significant refit that added passenger cabins and increased its gross tonnage, and it has operated cruises from various ports including repositioning voyages across multiple continents via the Suez Canal.
