The sales were done via auction, with buyers submitting their best bid in writing along with a 10 percent deposit, according to multiple brokers who told Cruise Industry News they had put in bids.
The buyer for the 2003-built Serenity was listed as CSE Ltd, while the 1995-built Symphony was sold to a company called CSY Ltd.
