Regent Seven Seas Cruises Delivers Seven Seas Grandeur

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has taken delivery of Seven Seas Grandeur in Ancona, Italy. In its construction spanning over two years, the luxury vessel has been designed by the award-winning Studio DADO and crafted by Fincantieri, a premier shipbuilder. 

 “We would like to thank Studio DADO and Fincantieri for their outstanding collaboration in realizing this incredible new vessel which truly builds on the ground-breaking traditions of Regent’s exceptional Explorer-class ships which came before. Seven Seas Grandeur’s inaugural season is all but sold out, which is testament to the burgeoning popularity of the unrivaled Regent experience and also reflective of the ship being the most anticipated launch of 2023,” said Harry Sommer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

On November 18, 2023, Captain Luciano Montesanto and his team will guide Seven Seas Grandeur in her maiden voyage from Venice, Italy to Barcelona, Spain. The ship will provide comfortable staff to guest ratios and large sweeping spaces for guests to enjoy. With unparalleled service and beautiful art installations, guests will be delighted from the moment they step aboard Seven Seas Grandeur.

“The expectations of both our loyal past guests and those who are new to Regent will be exceeded by Seven Seas Grandeur’s refined style, matchless elegance, and breath-taking beauty. As the appetite for luxury travel continues to grow, the delivery of Seven Seas Grandeur provides even more opportunities to cruise the world while enjoying the highest standards of hospitality in lavish and spacious surroundings,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
