Cruising with the British based CMV from 2015 until their end in 2020, Magellan was most recently sold to SeaJets in late 2020 after the collapse of CMV and it was hoped that she would set sail again for her new owners but this is not to be.

About this video:

Magellan’s history actually dates back to the 1980s.

Built in Denmark for Carnival Cruise Line, she was named Holiday and was the first of the “Holiday Class” cruise ships – of which three were built.

At 46,052 tons the ship is a baby by todays standards. But at the time she was built the ship was considered a significant new build, and took Carnival’s “fun ship” concept to the next level.

In the 1980s the modern cruise industry was still developing.

Holiday was noticeably larger than previous Carnival ship at the time – and 10,000 tons larger than their first new build the Tropicale.

Holidays’ introduction into service in July 1985 represented a significant up scaling of Carnival’s fleet.

The ship featured a two storey main lounge with terraced seating, large buffet restaurant and two formal restaurants, a sports deck and numerous swimming pools, a pizzeria and a grill – as well as themed bars, lounges and a large shopping promenade.

Holiday was joined by two near-identical sister ships: Jubilee in 1986 and Celebration in 1987, which along with the smaller Tropicale allowed Carnival to retire its older Mardi Gras, Carnivale and Festivale – all of which were converted ocean liners.

Holiday and her sisters were popular ships, and the success of the Holiday class gave Carnival the confidence to commit to the even bigger Fantasy class of ships in the 1990s – three of the Fantasy class are also currently being scrapped – but in Turkey.

Holiday remained with Carnival until 2009, by which time she had been well and truly eclipsed by newer, larger Carnival ships. She was then transferred to Carnival-owned Iberocruises.

Although both Tropicale and Jubilee had their distinctive Carnival funnels replaced when they were transferred from Carnival Cruise Line, Holiday retained hers – emerging as the refurbished and repainted Grand Holiday in early 2010.

She was sold again in 2015, becoming Magellan for CMV. During the final months of her service life, the ship was treated to a refresh, which included applying a navy paint scheme to the ship’s hull.

But sadly the cruise pause of 2020 meant that Magellan’s days were numbered.

Sold at auction in late 2020, there had been hope she may sail again for Greek operator Seajets – however by early 2021 it was obvious that the ship’s future was less secure.

Renamed Mages she sailed to India’s Alang scrapyards and was beached for recycling in the final days of January.
