Luxury on the high seas

Regent Seven Seas Cruises takes the cruise experience to a grand new level

Published Thu, Dec 2, 2021 · 09:50 PM

    FOR AN AROUND-THE-WORLD cruise that's literally out of this world, it's hard not to think of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Forget about cruises to nowhere in tight cabins with no balconies, or jostling with others in crowded buffets and paying for every single extra service. Regent Seven Seas is the epitome of luxury with its spacious all-suite and all-balcony accommodation, free unlimited offshore excursions, all-inclusive fine dining, and five-star service all the way.

    With unrivalled space - think lavish public areas and expansive outdoor spaces - and the highest staff-to-guest ratio in the industry, personal butler service and more, it's not called "the world's most luxurious fleet" for nothing. Its spacious and stylish ships - Seven Seas Explorer, Seven Seas Mariner, Seven Seas Navigator, Seven Seas Splendor, Seven Seas Voyager, and from 2023 Seven Seas Grandeur - carry no more than 750 guests and explore more than 450 immersive destinations globally.

    UNIQUE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES

    For its brand new 2023-2024 Voyage Collection, travellers have a record-breaking 139 journeys to choose from, covering myriad destinations from Alaska to the Caribbean, with 15 new ports of call across Europe, Asia, Arabia and North America.

    Sail from Lisbon to Rome aboard the Seven Seas Splendor in the 12-night Mediterranean Perfected journey that takes you along the Mediterranean coastline with its breathtaking landscapes, clear azure waters, ancient architecture and amazing cuisine to savour.

    Or enjoy Summer on the Aegean aboard the Seven Seas Mariner, which takes you on a 10-night sail from Venice to Istanbul. A romantic ride on a gondola through Venice's famous canals is a must-do, while the crystal-clear waters of Croatia's Dalmatian Coast beckon on the way to the Aegean Sea and the wonders of Greece that follow.

    THE ART OF LUXURY

    Get set for the next level of luxury cruising when the newest member of Regent Seven Seas Cruises makes her debut in November 2023, with 15 suite categories that range from the top-of-the-line Regent Suite to the spacious Verandah Suite.

    Designed by the award-winning Studio DADO, the 4,443 sq ft Regent Suite overlooks the bow of the ship and is created like a work of art, with its use of highest quality textiles and bespoke furnishings. Marble and stone bathrooms, a living room with a personalised bar set-up and dining room, and a private in-suite spa - with unlimited complimentary treatments - are just what you need for an indulgent stay. One new feature is a skylit, glass-enclosed parlour housing two chaise lounges ideal for a laid-back afternoon.

    Beyond the sumptuous accommodation are its distinctive public spaces, including the beautifully reimagined flagship Compass Rose restaurant, and the nostalgic look of its elegant French Chartreuse dining venue. The Observation Lounge, too, offers expansive elegance with its creative art nouveau- inspired setting that makes it a favourite place for a quiet moment or relaxing cocktail while watching the never-ending ocean sunset.

    For her maiden voyage on Nov 25, 2023, Seven Seas Grandeur makes her way across the Atlantic on a 14-night cruise from Barcelona to Miami. With more adventures to come, let the magic begin.
