"Our partnership with SharedBook offers guests an innovative way to create a personalised commemorative album and re-live The Regent Experience for years to come."

Voyagers can enjoy a 36-page, professionally printed album in either a hard or a soft cover, which contains pictures of the ports of call, as well as information about the vessel, highlights of cruise activities and facts about the locations visited.

To personalise this unique offering, guests can intersperse these features with their own memories, individual anecdotes and private photos.

Typically including a marriage certificate, wedding cake and champagne, the company is keen to point out that the types of ceremony on offer are as varied as the guests.

"The sky won't even be the limit - if a Regent guest wishes to get married in a hot air balloon over a tropical pineapple plantation, or take a helicopter to a glistening Alaskan glacier, we can do that," said Chris Scurr, Marketing Director for Royal Ocean Events.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises recently announced that four new Antarctica voyages will feature on its 2007-08 programme.

Due to overwhelming demand, the luxury cruise line will take passengers to the outer limits of the starkly beautiful continent.

Voyagers onboard Explorer II will visit the Falkland Islands and Port Stanley before heading to the Shetland Islands and the dramatic Antarctic Peninsula, before heading along Cape Horn, through Drake Passage and finally landing at Ushuaia.

Choosing from new departure dates of November 8th or 24th, December 20th 2007 and February 20th 2008, passengers can choose from 10 or 16-night cruises.

"We have seen such a strong demand for Antarctica as a destination that our initial two charters quickly sold out," said Mark Conroy, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' President.

"So we are pleased to have secured some group space to be able to offer our guests additional opportunities to visit this rarely seen part of the world," he added.

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.
