Leading luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) is excited to announce that The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built™, Seven Seas Explorer, will cruise Australian and New Zealand waters as part of her 2020/21 season for the first time since debuting in 2016.
With over USD $450 million spent on building the exclusive, 375 suite ship – including over an acre of marble, an enviable US$7 million art collection, and one of the biggest suites at sea – it is no surprise that Seven Seas Explorer has been hailed as The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built™.
“Seven Seas Explorer was built for the 1-percenters, with no expense spared every detail was meant to create an everlasting impression on her guests” said Lisa Pile, Vice President Sales, Australia & New Zealand at Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“We are incredibly excited to be able to share her unrivalled elegance with local Australian and New Zealand travellers as part of her inaugural season, and to give them a taste of what a truly all-inclusive, luxury cruise ship offers. What sets Seven Seas Explorer apart from the rest is her spacious, all-balcony and all-suite accommodation, free gourmet dining across all her restaurants, free fine wines and premium spirits, free unlimited shore excursions in every port of call – and not to mention her near 1 to 1 staff to guest ratio and unrivalled personalised service – which are all part of Regent’s all-inclusive fare,” said Ms Pile.
Sophisticated, Spacious Suites
Seven Seas Explorer boasts all-suite, all-balcony accommodation featuring sublime European beds, marble bathrooms, luxury amenities from L’Occitane, Bvlgari, Guerlain and Hermes, some of the biggest verandas at sea and a mini-bar that is replenished daily free-of-charge.
For those truly wanting to experience the ‘suite life’, the crown-jewel of Seven Seas Explorer is her one-of-a-kind Regent Suite which features two bedrooms, a living room and a dining room, 2 rare Picasso lithographs, a USD $250,000 custom Steinway piano designed by Dakota Jackson, an in-suite spa retreat – including heated tile loungers, sauna, and a hot tub on the veranda – unlimited in-suite treatments from the ship’s Canyon Ranch spa and a private car with driver in every port.
Sumptuous Cuisine
To ensure every meal is not only delicious, but entirely fuss-free, Seven Seas Explorer offers seven speciality restaurants allowing guests to dine whenever, wherever and with whomever they choose, each with no additional cover charges. From laidback al fresco lunch at the Pool Grill, to savouring succulent steaks in the sophisticated Prime 7, to the zen-like surrounds of Pan-Asian newcomer Pacific Rim and more – RSSC’s expert culinary team, attentive wait staff and knowledgeable sommeliers will ensure a memorable experience at every meal.
Better still, guests can improve their culinary prowess as they learn from top chefs in Seven Seas Explorer’s exclusive Culinary Arts Kitchen – a new onboard offering for RSSC – or savour the authentic local flavours onshore during one of the bespoke Gourmet Explorer Tours.
Personalised Service and Intimate ships
At 56,000 tonnes and carrying only 750 guests, Seven Seas Explorer boasts one of the highest space ratios of any cruise ship, and offers unrivalled personalised service with a crew of 542 serving each guest – an impressive ratio of 1:1.4.
