With an inaugural season close to sold out by now, this new addition to the family reflects the unrivaled Regent experience, as this will surely count as one of the most anticipated launches of 2023.
Presented as the culmination of Regent’s more than three decades of expertise in luxury cruising, the Regent Seven Seas Grandeur, designed by the multi-award-winning Studio DADO is set to depart on its maiden voyage from Venice (Trieste), Italy to Barcelona, Spain on November 18, 2023.
Commanded by Captain Luciano Montesanto, along with his exceptional senior leadership team, the Seven Seas Grandeur will then cross the Atlantic to Miami, Florida, where an exclusive gala event will occur on December 10, 2023. Here, the ship’s Godmother Sara Fabergé, founding member of The Fabergé Heritage Council and great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, will perform her christening duties.
Holding a maximum of 746 guests, and a staff of 548, the Seven Seas Grandeur will provide some of the highest space and staff-to-guest ratios in the industry, meaning unparalleled service is a given onboard.
Regent Seven Seas Grandeur’s Suites: All Balcony And Views
Presenting 15 stunning accommodation categories, Regent Seven Seas’ Grandeur suites do not disappoint. Ranging in sizes between 307 square feet, to over 4,443 square feet, each accommodation’s design evokes an elevated, residential feel, capturing natural light to be distributed amongst delicate layouts, art, and materials.
Take the stunning Regent Suite, for example, designed as a piece of art with the highest quality textiles and hand-selected furnishings, where guests can enjoy some nighttime stargazing through a skylit, glass-enclosed parlor adorned with two chaise lounges. Overlooking the bow of the ship, the largest suite onboard features two spacious bedrooms, 2 and a half marble and stone detailed bathrooms, and a living room with a personalized bar set-up, a dining room, and a private in-suite spa.
The Master Suite, on its hand, boasts over 1,000 square feet of interior space plus the addition of at least 831 square feet of private, wrap-around balcony.
There are two bedrooms and two ornate marble-clad bathrooms, offering the luxury of privacy to all occupants of the Master Suite. Large walk-in closets allow for generous storage. The living room and dining room both offer seating for six. This is a perfect location to entertain a loved one or friends onboard.
Perhaps the most unique element of the suite is the inclusion of a grand piano. This elegant addition comes with pianist services for your guests’ enjoyment.
Offering the same exceptional standards of design and comfort to every suite, guests will be glad to know all of them include a furnished private balcony, luxurious amenities, and a high level of service.
Unparalleled Public Spaces
Regent’s design team didn’t rest on their laurels after redesigning the suites for SS Grandeur. The public spaces onboard are the most visually attractive areas that the brand has to offer. The Atrium features a stunning grand staircase, and a magnificent chandelier serves as the centerpiece.
Another attractive area onboard is the Grandeur Lounge. This jazzy evening lounge is a classy place to enjoy a signature cocktail before your evening meal and enjoy some live music. The soulful music and relaxed atmosphere create an intimate entertainment venue.
Our favorite public space is the observation lounge. The Art Deco design of the room is reminiscent of the glamour of the 1930s. The white and black marble floors draw your eye to the piano in the center of the room. The leather seating and crisp white table linens complement the white crown molding of the ceiling, which complements the marble on the floors. The entire observation lounge is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows for guests to enjoy the ever-changing vistas as they cruise past.
Epicurean Perfection: Regent Seven Seas Grandeur Restaurants Onboard
Throughout its trajectory, Regent has become known for their Epicurean Perfection slogan, and the Seven Seas Grandeur is no exception to this rule.
With over 130 new dishes, exclusively created by Regent Seven Seas’ expert culinary team, the dining experience onboard this new vessel is surely incomparable.
Onboard, guests will find eight unrivaled dining venues, including reimagined spaces in its gourmet specialty restaurants.
Past Regent guests will be delighted to experience the new design features of the brand’s signature restaurants Compass Rose, Prime 7, Chartreuse, and La Veranda, including new dishes delivered by Senior Executive Chef Michael Meyepa, along with a dedicated crew of culinary experts, sommeliers and serving professionals aimed at bringing diners on a journey of indulgence.
Food lovers onboard will be glad to take part in the ship’s Culinary Arts Kitchen, where hands-on classes, special demonstrations, and more will be offered in a professional-grade culinary teaching facility led by highly experienced chefs. From lessons in French food and wine to the flavors of the Pacific Northwest, guests are invited to join a wide curriculum of classes inspired by the global destinations Regent takes them to.
