Regent Seven Seas Cruises Newsletter

Regent Seven Seas Cruises is one of the world's leading ultra-luxury cruise lines, founded in 1992 as Radisson Seven Seas Cruises and rebranded under the Regent name in 2006. Headquartered in Miami, Florida, the line is owned by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and operates a fleet of six all-suite ships sailing to more than 450 destinations across all seven continents. Regent built its reputation on a genuinely all-inclusive approach, bundling shore excursions, premium beverages, specialty dining, unlimited Wi-Fi, gratuities, and business-class flights on international sailings into every fare. From the Mediterranean and Alaska to Asia and beyond, the line offers an experience designed around personal fulfilment and unhurried exploration.

An All-Inclusive Experience Unlike Any Other

Regent Seven Seas Cruises markets itself as delivering "The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience" at sea. Unlike lines that charge separately for shore excursions or dining, Regent includes unlimited complimentary shore excursions in every port of call, open bars and fine wines throughout the ship, multiple specialty restaurants, and pre-cruise hotel stays on selected sailings. Gratuities are pre-paid, and on longer international itineraries business-class airfare is included. The result is an environment where guests can focus entirely on the journey rather than managing a running tab.

The Fleet

The Regent fleet has grown steadily since the 1990s. Current ships include:

• Seven Seas Navigator (launched 1999)
• Seven Seas Mariner (launched 2001)
• Seven Seas Voyager (launched 2003)
• Seven Seas Explorer (launched 2016)
• Seven Seas Splendor (launched 2020)
• Seven Seas Grandeur (launched 2023)

The Explorer-class vessels, which entered service from 2016 onwards, were each designed to carry around 750 guests and are fitted with original artworks and extensive decorative detail. A further ship, Seven Seas Prestige, was under construction at Fincantieri with a keel-laying in March 2025.

Destinations and Itineraries

Regent sails to more than 450 destinations worldwide, ranging from popular European capitals and Caribbean islands to remote ports in Antarctica, the South Pacific, and the Arctic. Itineraries are designed to include overnight stays and extended port calls, giving guests more time ashore than a typical day-call schedule allows. The line visits every continent and offers world cruises alongside shorter regional sailings.

History and Ownership

The line was formed in 1992 through the merger of Radisson Cruises and Seven Seas Cruises, backed by the Carlson Group. It operated as Radisson Seven Seas Cruises for over a decade before adopting the Regent name in 2006. Apollo Global Management acquired the brand in 2008 and combined it with Oceania Cruises under Prestige Cruise Holdings. Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings purchased the group in September 2014 for $3.025 billion, and Regent has continued to grow its fleet and route network under that ownership.
