The ships of Regent Cruise lines call the world their
home and they want to welcome you aboard. The idea of
taking a luxury cruise vacation and cruise holiday has caught
on with the traveling public and the industry is still
growing in leaps and bounds. Many passengers enjoy
the Regent ships and their thinking of all-inclusive and
smaller ships taking their passengers where they want to
go, in a grand and luxury style of cruising.
There is something enchanting about
sailing and traveling on water. The ships of Regent Seven Seas Cruises offer voyages of
exploration and discovery to over 300 ports on six
continents, including Antarctica. Regent's luxury
vessels are designed for guests numbering in the
hundreds rather than the thousands. The ambiance on
board is personal, individual, accommodating - "upscale
but not uptight." And all ships share certain
distinctions in accommodations, service, dining and
amenities that elevate them to the lofty vantage point
of Regent's enviable six stars.With the 2003 debut of the new all-suite, all-balcony
Seven Seas Voyager, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' fleet of
six-star ships is growing in capacity and options.
The world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship, the
700-guest Seven Seas Mariner was launched in March 2001.
The 50,000-ton vessel accommodates her guests in
ocean view suites from 301 to 2,002 sq. ft. with private
balconies. She boasts the first Le Cordon Bleu®
restaurant at sea; four single, open-seating dining
venues and Mermaid pod propulsion systems for virtually
vibration-free cruising.
Her sister ship, the Seven Seas Voyager, which debuted
in 2003, features the largest "lead-in" suites at sea:
356-square feet including balcony. Her four dining
venues include Signatures, the world's second Le Cordon
Bleu restaurant, and the unique "Latitudes" designed to
celebrate the "American Palate."
The 33,000-ton, all-suite, 490-guest Seven Seas
Navigator debuted in 1999 and features all ocean-view
suites (90 percent with private balconies), plus fine
dining options and generous space-per-guest ratios.
The 19,200-ton Paul Gauguin entered service in Tahiti
and French Polynesia in 1998, the most deluxe cruise
ship ever to be based there year-round. Along with all
ocean-view staterooms, 50% with private balconies, the
ship has a casual dress code suitable to the
destination, cuisine inspired by a two-star Michelin
French chef, complimentary watersports and her own
retractable marina.
Twice chosen as the World's Best Small Cruise Line by
the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine and in 2003 by
the readers of Conde Nast Traveler, Regent Seven Seas
Cruises (formerly Radisson Seven Seas Cruises) has
earned a leadership role in the 6-star cruise industry.
The Regent Cruise Lines fleet of luxury ships provides a
limited number of guests the highest standard of
cruising excellence combined with exciting opportunities
for discovery around the world.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is recognized as one of the
world's premier luxury lines with features such as
6-star, all-suite, all-balcony ships, Le Cordon Bleu
menus and superior space and service ratios. However,
even more compelling than the quality of their ships is
the adventurous spirit of RSSC - the imaginative
itineraries, unique shore excursions and land tours, and
the other innovative services we offer discriminating
guests. RSSC's new Travel Concierge, features
personalized services and programs that enable you to
travel at your own pace and explore those things which
interest you the most. You can visit the Taj Mahal by
private jet, for example, go on an eco-adventure to the
Panatanal in South America or even have us custom-design
your own tour. From unique, pre-bookable adventures
ashore to exclusive pre- and post-cruise land programs,
the world is quite literally in the palm of your hand
when you travel with RSSC Seven Seas cruise lines.
Travel Weekly, one of the world's leading travel
industry trade publications, honored Regent Seven Seas
Cruises® at a celebratory gala in New York City, as part
of the publication's annual "Readers' Choice Awards"
showcasing the "best of the best" among travel and
tourism suppliers worldwide. For the third consecutive
year, Regent Seven Seas Cruises garnered the top award
in the category "Best in Cruise Lines - Luxury." This
recognition follows Regent's award for "World's Best
Large-Ship Luxury Cruise Line" at the Condé Nast
Traveler Reader's Choice Awards in October.
"It is deeply rewarding to be recognized in the same
year both by our travel agent partners as well as by our
guests themselves," said Mark Conroy, president of
Regent.
Regent's fleet of six-star luxury vessels features some
of the highest space-per-guest and crew-per-guest ratios
at sea, calling on 300 ports worldwide on all seven
continents. The cruise line pioneered the all-suite,
all-balcony cruise ship configuration and its vessels
are consistently recognized among the best in the world.
As part of the cruise line's re-branding earlier this
year, each of its four ships has recently undergone
multi-million-dollar upgrades and enhancements, while
new enrichment programs and itineraries have been
developed for the 2009 and 2010 cruise seasons. Try Regent and SEA!
