Regent Suite-en Up Seven Seas Navigator

2012-06-13

Regent Seven Seas have completed their recent renovations onboard Seven Seas Navigator, which includes new suites and some upgrades to dining venues, when the ship emerged from drydock over the weekend.

Navigator is now sailing from Vancouver to Seward, Alaska, boasting a complete revamp of the ship's eight Grand Suites & Master Suites, along with the new dining area, Mari at La Veranda— which offers intimate Italian a la carte and buffet dining.

Graham Sadler, Regent Seven Seas' Managing Director for UK and Europe, said: "The Regent Seven Seas experience has certainly evolved over the past 20 years, and this latest renovation signals our ongoing commitment to delivering the most sought-after, all-inclusive luxury travel experience. From small touches to major upgrades such as this, the subtle luxury and unparalleled comfort of these enhancements are designed with the guest in mind."

The refresh of the suites includes new built-in cabinetry, custom-crafted furnishings, new balcony furniture, plush new carpets, designer accessories and original art. All of the ship's other suites have also been given a face lift, benefitting from new carpets, wall coverings, new dining tables and outdoor furniture.

The addition of Mari and La Verandah is an interesting addition to the ship. The venue is an Italian restaurant that is based in La Verandah dining room in the evenings and will boast a la carte dining alongside buffet dining. The menu will include authentic antipasti and speciality dishes, along with al fresco dining — weather permitting of course. During the rest of the day, La Verandah will continue to operate as the ship's buffet.

Other improvements to Navigator include enlarging Prime 7 — Seven Seas Navigator's American-style steakhouse — to accommodate 70 guests and features a new contemporary sculpture at its entrance. The Galileo Lounge has also benefitted from a face lift, new carpeting has been fitted throughout the public areas in deck 12 and the Canyon Ranch Spa Club^® have been given updated saunas.

Bernhard Klotz, Culinary Director for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said: "This new restaurant concept is a substantial enhancement to current menu items featured for dinner in La Veranda."

Sette Mari will debut 30th May 2012 onboard Seven Seas Navigator and will be available onboard Seven Seas Voyager from 2nd July and Seven Seas Mariner from 13th July. Sette Mari is only open for dinner and will not require reservation, during other meals times the buffet will continue to operate as La Veranda.

2007-01-26

The cruise news and reviews source, Cruise Critic, has revealed its top five cruises for 2007, with some well-known and big names filling the spaces.

Cruise Critic recommends a good mix in its top five, with new liners, huge ships and enticing itineraries among the suggested selection that is sure to delight cruise guests.

Sailing on Regent Seven Seas' Voyager or Cunard's Queen Mary 2 is suggested if spending plenty of time enjoying the luxuries on board a cruise liner is your thing. The former offers all-at-sea cruises, with something similar available from Cunard too.

If new ships are what interest you, Cruise Critic recommends cruising to Bermuda on the new Celebrity Cruises ship Journey, which begins work in May, or taking to the seas on Liberty of the Seas when it enters service in April.

Sapphire Princess, the Princess Cruises ship, also gets a nod from the reviewer, with its 16-night trip around Asia selected as the pick of the bunch.

Costa Cruises recently announced that it would be running a new itinerary in Asia this year, with Hong Kong the departure and arrival port.
