If you love luxury, hang onto your hat as the most luxurious ship ever built is about to set sail.
If you follow the latest luxury travel opportunities like a connoisseur in search of the next great adventure, you already know that Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers luxury voyages unrivaled by anyone. However, did you know that this exclusive family of four luxury, six-star-rated cruise ships will grow to five in the spring of 2020 with the inaugural sailing of the Seven Seas Splendor—truly “luxury perfected”.
Launching with incredible fanfare, the Seven Seas Splendor boasts luxury down to the finest details likened to an artist creating a work of art with down to every expertly placed brush stroke of detail.
Launching with incredible fanfare, the Seven Seas Splendor boasts luxury down to the finest details likened to an artist creating a work of art with down to every expertly placed brush stroke of detail. The impact of such beauty will be a cruise that delights the eye and inspires the imagination of what a true vacation getaway can be. And this first sailing is a hot ticket, as even the corporate sales team and media can’t get on board—the spectacular Splendor is already sold out. That’s because to know Regent Seven Seas is to marvel at the experience and even the hint of an even more elevated experience has luxury cruise lovers scampering for their spot. Of course, she’ll sail again after her launch and that’s where you can take action to make sure not to “miss the boat,” as they say.
Seven Seas Splendor elevates every detail, combining exquisite style and comfort with exemplary service, fine cuisine and all-balcony suites…ahh, the ocean air! Your all-suite experience will take you to more than 450 immersive destinations with a menu of more exciting shore excursions than any other line. Pack your sunscreen, as Seven Seas Splendor will take you from the pristine beaches of the Caribbean to the sunny isles of Greece. With calls in Mediterranean ports like Lisbon, Rome and Istanbul, you can explore some of the world’s most fascinating destinations. In fact, at the first sailing of the Splendor, an additional 65 new Mediterranean and Northern Europe excursions will be unveiled, curated with experts on the ground in each destination—helicopter over the countryside of Monaco to enjoy an unforgettable meal created by famed French chef Alain Ducasse or an electric-bike winery tour of La Cadiere d’ Azur or learn under the tutelage of a master chef in Greenock, Scotland to discover there is much more than just haggis to Scottish cuisine. Or Tour a centuries-old estate in Greece in Corfu’s fertile interior and sample wines paired with organic delicacies that reflect the owners’ passion for preserving traditional methods of production or enjoy mussel tasting by speed boat in Montenegro. The focus is to create truly experiential offerings for luxury guests who want to see what have not yet seen.
Regent Seven Seas continues to outdo itself and its competitors in terms of providing the most luxurious cruise experience with the highest level of service with flawless attention to detail.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises has a reputation of being one of the most luxurious cruise lines in existence, and we can validate that based on our first-hand experience, via a recent trip on Voyager, where no luxurious detail was spared, right down to the Versace plates at dinner. From the cuisine whose quality is astounding (unheard of for a cruise ship) to the gorgeous staterooms with walk-in closets; from the fact that top-shelf liquor is also included in your cruise fare to the fabulous excursions organized off the ship, Regent Seven Seas continues to outdo itself and its competitors in terms of providing the most luxurious cruise experience with the highest level of service with flawless attention to detail.
It’s easy to get used to being treated like a king or queen on board, and we will be the first to say that returning to reality post-life on board Regent Seven Seas Voyager has been a rude awakening.
Breakfast delivered in bed or to your balcony where you can watch as the ship approaches the next port on your journey is our favorite way to start the day. Then, you can hit the ground running both figuratively and literally as you hop onto one of the ship’s shore excursions.
Regent Seven Seas provides the ideal way to see numerous hot spots (and some off-the-beaten-path ones, as well), while also providing the ideal way to get from place to place while enjoying amazing cuisine from gluten-free bread to lobster; beef tartar to not one, not two, but three desserts.
Speaking of offerings, the staterooms on this ship are sure to blow you away. The Regent Suite is the talk of not only the town, but the whole cruising world right now.
One of the highlights of a cruise with Regent Seven Seas is the size of their ship. Splendor is continuing this legacy with only 375 suites fitting 750 guests. Not to mention that the crew size on Splendor is 542, meaning you’re going to get all your needs tended to while a guest of this vessel. Nothing will ever feel too crowded, and the ship is a manageable size where you will have the opportunity to experience all its offerings.
Speaking of offerings, the staterooms on this ship are sure to blow you away. The Regent Suite is the talk of not only the town, but the whole cruising world right now, and here’s why.
The Regent Suite measures in at 4,443 square feet, making it the largest suite to ever exist on a cruise ship. It comes complete with an in-suite spa retreat, giving it another “first” title to boast about: the first in-suite spa on any cruise. And that in-suite spa allows you to take advantage of unlimited services while on board.
The palatial suite also comes with a personal butler to tend to your every need, as well as a personal car with a driver and guide in every port, a personalized in-suite full-liquor bar set-up, priority for online shore excursions and dinner reservations, and so much more that we couldn’t possibly write it all here.
And when it comes time to rest your head after a day of fun, the suite will have you drifting off to sleep on far more than just your average bed. Rather, you’ll be nodding off on the world’s most expensive bed, $200,000 to be exact, the Hasten’s Vividus, because smarter sleep is a wink away. A mix of cotton, wool, horsehair and mohair, this sleeping haven has been perfectly crafted to create the best sleep of your dreams.
If you’re not in the market for a stateroom quite that lavish, don’t worry. Even the smallest rooms on this ship are spacious and spectacular, and each one comes with a private balcony from which you can watch every sunrise and sunset, though you’ll find it hard to remain in your room for too long when there is much to be seen elsewhere on the ship.

We can say without hesitation that there is nothing quite like a Regent Seven Seas cruise. This ship is the ideal way to get a taste of stunning destinations all around the world and discover where you’d like to return and dive deeper into.
Your experience with Regent Seven Seas will do so much more than float your boat, it will have you in seventh heaven.
