A small and relatively young cruise line, Imperial Majesty Cruise Line acquired the former ocean liner "OceanBreeze" from the now defunct Premier Cruise Lines some years ago. The vintage ship is deployed on year-round short cruises to The Bahamas. The 21,486-ton, 604-foot-long OceanBreeze occupies a unique place in maritime history. Christened in 1954 by Queen Elizabeth II, who chose the name Southern Cross, the vessel circled the globe, visiting ports in Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, South Africa, the South Pacific, and Europe.
In 1972, the ship was acquired by a Greek company, renamed ss Calypso, given a $16 million conversion and a new cruise itinerary in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Alaska. On September 29, 1980, she was sold to the Gotaas Larsen Group of Companies of Bermuda, who sailed her under the name ss Azure Seas until May 1992. Purchased by Dolphin Cruise Lines in 1992 and she was renamed Ocean Breeze, the ship cruised from Aruba to the southern Caribbean and Panama Canal.
In 1999, the Ocean Breeze was chartered by Imperial Majesty Cruise Line. In May 2000, she was purchased by Imperial Majesty and subsequently given a $3.5 million renovation that added a modern tropical ambiance while restoring the original splendour of this classic ship. In 2003 Regal Cruises ceased operations and Imperial Majesty Cruises purchased their only cruise ship - Regal Empress which replaced the Ocean Breeze. Her ports of call are now Fort Lauderdale and Nassau.
