Earlier this week, Regent Seven Seas, a luxury cruise line based in Doral, ordered their largest, most luxurious ship to date. Regent has entered into the contract with Fincantieri Yards and aims to place the ship in service by summer of 2016.
Regent Seven Seas has released some details on the new ship, which will be named Seven Seas Explorer. The Seven Seas Explorer will accommodate 738 guests in 369 verandah suites. In addition, the new ship will also feature an array of amenities for guests to enjoy, including six open-seating gourmet restaurants, Regentās signature nine-deck atrium, the two-story Explorer Theater, three boutiques and an expansive Canyon Ranch SpaClub.Ā The ship will have a gross registered tonnage of 54,000 and will cost Regent Seven Seas $450 million.
