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.

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 2007.  Try Regent and SEA!
