The RCGS Resolute, a 1991-built expedition cruiseship with a storied past, has been sold at auction in Curacao for reportedly less than $1m.

Eva Michelle Pennings, a lawyer representing Bahamian-registered seller Bunnys Adventures & Cruise Shipping, has confirmed that the 184-berth vessel was offloaded Monday. She would not say for how much it was sold or disclose the seller.

"We had a taker, but other than that, I can't share any other details," she told TradeWinds.
