In July 2012, P&O sold the Pacific Sun to Chinese interests as Henna. Iberocruceros announced that the Grand Celebration would be transferred to Costa Cruises in November 2014 as the Costa Celebration. Also, in the same month, Costa Cruises announced that it would absorb Ibero Cruises in its entirety by the end of the year. The Grand Celebration would still be transferred to the main fleet of Costa as the Costa Celebration, and the Grand Holiday would either be transferred or sold off. Ibero's docking slots in Barcelona would be devoted solely to Costa's newest ship, the Costa Diadema.[1][2]
In November 2014 it was announced the Grand Holiday would join Cruise & Maritime Voyages. In March 2015, after a refurbishment in Greece, she entered service as the Magellan and currently operates a range of Northern Europe and worldwide itineraries sailing from London Tilbury, Newcastle upon Tyne and Dundee. [3]
Also, in November 2014, it was announced the Costa Celebration had been sold to an unnamed buyer. The vessel completed its last cruise for the Spanish company Iberocruceros and entered drydock in Marseille to be rebranded under Costa livery.[4] The buyer was announced as Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line. The ship has returned to its old name as the Grand Celebration and since February 2015 has been sailing out of the Port of Palm Beach in Riviera Beach, Florida for cruises to Freeport, Bahamas. [5]
In November 2015, HNA shut down its cruise ship operation after three years of losing money, due to newer vessels being deployed to the region. Since the Henna's last cruise with HNA, she was laid up and put for sale for $35 million USD. With there being no interested buyers, the ship arrived in Alang to be broken up in April 2017.[6]
