Last month Regent Seven Seas Cruises announced that the glorious Seven Seas Explorer will sail around Australia and New Zealand. Hailed as ‘The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built’, Seven Sea Explorer will arrive in Australian waters in December 2020. Regent Seven Seas Cruises has redefined seagoing luxury and created a ship with unparalleled decadence. All cruise-goers will experience utter relaxation with an all-inclusive experience aboard a ship unlike any other.
“Built for the 1-percenters with no expense spared, every detail was meat to create an everlasting impression on her guests.” Vice President Sales at Regent Seven Seas Cruises Lisa Pile quotes. “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, the luxury cruise ship has to offer”.
The ship boasts 375 all-suite, all-balcony suites and features over an acre of marble, top of the line European beds, and luxury amenities from L’Occitane, Hermes and Bvlgari in each room.
Every suite includes a mini-bar which is refreshed daily at no additional cost. Art lovers can enjoy an almost unbelievable $7 million art collection across the ship which includes pieces by Picasso and Chagall. With all these features it’s no surprise that a whopping $450 million was spent on building the Seven Seas Explorer.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises crown jewel is the Regent suite. This astonishingly deluxe suite spreads over 413m squared and includes two bedrooms, a living room, dining room and in-suite spa with heated tile loungers, sauna and hot top on the veranda.
To top off the transcendent space you will find 2 rare Picasso lithographs hanging on the wall and custom made $250,000 Steinway piano designed by Dakota Jackson. The lucky cruisers who stay in the wait-listed Regent suite will also enjoy unlimited in-suite treatments from the Canyon Ranch Spa as well as a private car with a driver at each port.
If you cannot afford the eye-watering £27,509 pp price tag for the Regal Suit do not fret as all other guests will receive the same extreme personal service, thanks to their near one on one staff to guest ratio. All guests can expect extensive shipwide inclusions. There are seven restaurants to choose from every day for entirely all-inclusive dining, fine wines and premium spirits. Guests can enjoy steaks from the sophisticated Prime 7, laidback bites from the Pool Grill, Asian fusion from Pacific Rim and so much more.
For the absolute foodies, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers cooking skill classes from top chefs in the Culinary Arts Kitchen as well as the Gourmet Explorer Tours, where authentic local flavours are explored at each port. However you don’t need to leave the ship for activities, Deck 12 offers a jogging track, golf nets, docce court and mini golf with amazing views.
If this sounds like your type of cruising experience you will have nine voyages on offer to choose from which will be sailing throughout Australia, Asia, New Zealand and the South Pacific in 2020. Some of the feature itineraries are the ‘Balinese Celebration’ sailing; a 17-night Singapore to Sydney. A 15-night Sydney to Auckland ‘Majesty of Milford’ cruise. A 14-night Auckland to Sydney ‘Grandeur of New Zealand’ sailing adventure. The 15-night Bali to Hong Kong on the ‘Radiance of Thailand and the 18-night Sydney to Bali ‘Koalas to Komodos’ cruise.
For one final finishing touch of excellent service Regent, Seven Seas Cruises will be including a free 3-night post or pre-cruise land itinerary on selective voyages to give guests a land and sea experience like never before.
