Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCCL) denies a report in a South Korean media saying that it had sold Majesty of the Seas to a new cruise venture in the Asian country.

“There have been inquiries, around rumors, asking if we are selling Majesty of the Seas and/or Monarch of Seas. Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. is not selling these or any of its brands’ ships. The statement is in response to recent speculation in South Korean newspapers that Royal Caribbean was going to sell one or both of the ships to cruise ship operator All That Cruise,” RCCL said in a statement posted on Facebook and on Twitter.

“Also of interest was Royal Caribbean’s choice to post the information on its Twitter and Facebook page in lieu of traditional means of conveying news.  It confirms Royal Caribbean’s commitment to its social media initiatives,” the company said.
