Regent Seven Seas Cruises Offers 45 European Voyages in 2007
Oct 31, 2006
FT. LAUDERDALE (October 31, 2006) - Regent Seven Seas Cruises will offer 45 European voyages in 2007, introducing two newly refurbished ships and calling on several new and less-visited ports. From the elegant casinos of Monte Carlo, to the Roman and Byzantine monuments of Kotor's medieval streets, to sampling fine vodkas and caviar in St. Petersburg, Regent brings the cultural authenticity of the Old World to the most discerning travelers.
Regent has added several exciting new ports of call for 2007, including Falmouth (England), Cartagena and Valencia (Spain), Golfe de Porto (Corsica), Koper (Slovenia), Korcula (Croatia), Kotor (Montenegro), and Kos (Greece). Regent's intimate smaller and mid-sized luxury ships enable guests to experience smaller ports that many larger ships simply cannot access, such as Monte Carlo, Portofino and Kotor. These are in addition to Regent's other established favorites like St. Petersburg, Copenhagen, Bordeaux, Venice and Istanbul.
Guests on European cruises will enjoy the 700-guest all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas Voyager and the 490-guest all-suite (90% with private balconies) Seven Seas Navigator, both of which will complete multi-million dollar refurbishments this winter. Suites are being re-designed to reflect Regent's rich tradition of world-class hospitality - from exquisite down comforters to pure Egyptian cotton percale Anichini brand linens. Guests will also enjoy technology upgrades including faster wireless Internet access and iPod® players with Bose® speakers in butler suites.
In addition, beginning in 2007, every Regent cruise will be all-inclusive, with complimentary wine and spirits at all on-board restaurants and bars.
The European cruise season begins April 16 with a 15-night transatlantic voyage aboard the Seven Seas Navigator from Ft. Lauderdale to Monte Carlo, and culminates with the November 7 eight-night voyage aboard the Navigator from Funchal in Madeira, Portugal to Ft. Lauderdale. While the Voyager will sail Southern, Western and Northern Europe, the Navigator will make the Mediterranean her home for more than six months in 2007, canvassing nearly the entire region, from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Greek Isles to the Aegean Sea. Sailings range from seven to 19 nights, and per person prices start from ,157. All fares include shipboard gratuities, all non-alcoholic beverages, select wine and liquor throughout and "What a Fare Deal"* options: a choice of roundtrip economy class air from 86 North American gateways, 9 business class upgrade when an economy class air add-on is purchased, or ,000 savings off the cruise fare.
For the ultimate in luxury, guests can indulge in the 42-night Grand Europe Discovery, departing Rome on May 26 aboard the Seven Seas Voyager and ending in enchanted Copenhagen on July 7. This remarkable grand voyage explores Europe from the Mediterranean north to the Arctic Circle, with more than 25 ports including Portofino and the Isle of Capri (Italy), Monte Carlo, St. Tropez, Bordeaux (France), Barcelona, London, St. Petersburg, Stockholm, and several stops across Norway's fjordlands and the Arctic Circle.
A season highlight includes an already sold-out 14-night Norway cruise aboard the Seven Seas Voyager to the North Cape and Spitzbergen, hosted by Captain Dag Dvergastein and including a call to his hometown of Nevlunghaven, Norway. In addition, seven-night Baltic sailings between Stockholm and Copenhagen will feature two-day/three-night on board stays in the gilded city of St. Petersburg from July 14 through August 25. The Northern European sailing season culminates with an exclusive British Isles cruise, a return to the area after an interval of several years.
