Regent Announce "Most Luxurious" New Ship

Luxury all-inclusive line Regent Seven Seas has signed a definitive contract with Italy's Fincantieri shipyard to build "the most luxurious cruise ship in the era of modern cruising." The new all-suite, all-balcony ship will be named Seven Seas Explorer with delivery scheduled for Summer 2016.

At 54,000 gross-registered tons and accommodating just 738 guests, Seven Seas Explorer will be the largest vessel in the Regent fleet. The ship will also boast one of the highest space ratios and staff-to-guest ratios ever seen in modern cruise ship design, in keeping with the company's high levels of personalised service and individual experiences.

 
The new ship order is also part of Regent's growth strategy in the luxury market since 2008. Seven Seas Explorer will feature spacious and sophisticated designer suites, ultra-elegant public areas, a wide-range of dining options with six gourmet restaurants, an expansive Canyon Ranch SpaClub, Regent's signature nine-deck atrium, the two-story Explorer Theater and many other amenities all created with the personality, warmth and soul of classic, timeless design.

In their press release about the new release, Regent insisted: "The moment our guests step on board, they'll know they have arrived somewhere special. The use of exotic stones and polished woods, designer furniture, rich fabrics and sophisticated lighting combined with what promises to be a museum-quality eclectic art collection will clearly position Seven Seas Explorer as the new standard in luxury cruising."

Further details about the new vessel will be announced in the coming months.
