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 our 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 also includes the Seven Seas Mariner and the Seven Seas Navigator.

Our Commitment
At Regent Seven Seas Cruises, it is our objective to provide an ultra-luxury cruise experience that also represents true value. In keeping with this philosophy, our voyages feature many enhancements, benefits or special events on a complimentary basis or at a minimal cost.

Seven Seas Signature Initiative
The first phase of the Seven Seas Signature programme, completed in 2010, featured a $100 million enhancement of all three vessels. Almost every area of the ships was refurbished. The updates resulted in a new look that is fresh, elegant and luxurious. The lauded Free Luxury Hotel package was also introduced in connection with every cruise. Exclusive Suite Slumber Beds were added to all suites in addition to L'Occitane bath amenities; Hermes amenities are featured in Penthouse suites and higher.
