Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has announced that early next year it will transfer six of its cruise ships to the Bahamas Registry, joining 13 other Royal Caribbean ships already registered in The Bahamas and the 9 ships of its sister brand, Celebrity Cruises.

As experienced shipping lawyers we're regularly involved in complex legal disputes involving ship owners, charterers, lenders, port authorities and others.

THE BAHAMAS is an international financial centre and major hub for the global shipping industry, ranking globally as number one for cruise ship registration and number three in total world tonnage.

The Bahamas ship register is the flag of choice for many top quality ship owners.
