Majesty's first ship, the Royal Majesty, was originally ordered by competitor Birka Line for 24-hour cruise operations out of Stockholm.^[1] Following the bankruptcy of shipbuilder Wärtsilä, the contract was resold to Majesty. She initially worked three- and four-night cruises out of Florida, but in 1995 opened a new summer Boston-Bermuda route, terminating at St George's rather than the usual Hamilton in Bermuda. Royal Majesty returned to Florida in the winter. In June 1995, she ran aground on Rose and Crown shoal of Nantucket Island, due to a combination of faulty GPS and inadequate watch being maintained. Royal Majesty was 17 miles off course and was situated for 24 hours before tugs towed her off. See {LD} THIS WAS ADDED today, but I am afraid I still make editing mistakes.

In 1997, a second ship titled Crown Majesty was added (previously Crown Dynasty). For the 1997 season, she continued the same cruise operations planned for Crown Dynasty, but at the end of that season both ships passed to Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL). Royal Majesty was sold to NCL and was renamed Norwegian Majesty. Crown Majesty also had her charter transferred to NCL.
