Carlson Companies has renamed Radisson Seven Seas Cruises into Regent
Seven Seas Cruises, to bring this luxury cruise line more in line with the level of luxury offered by the world renown Regent International Hotels. The ships and service are being upgraded to the standards expected of one of the finest, and most luxurious, hotel chain in the world.
With the 2003 debut of the new all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas Voyager, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ fleet of six-star ships has
grown in capacity and options.
The world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship, the 700-guest Seven Seas Mariner was launched in March 2001. The 50,000 ton vessel accommodates
her guests in ocean-view suites from 301 to 2,002 sq. ft. with private balconies. She boasts the first Le Cordon
Bleu® restaurant at sea; four single, open-seating dining venues and Mermaid* pod propulsion systems for virtually vibration-free cruising.
Her sister ship, the Seven Seas Voyager, which debuted in 2003, features the largest "lead-in" suites at
sea: 356-square feet including balcony. Her four dining venues include Signatures, the world's second Le
Cordon Bleu restaurant, and the unique "Latitudes" designed to celebrate the "American Palate."
 The 33,000 ton, all-suite, 490-guest Seven Seas Navigator debuted in 1999 and features all ocean-view suites (90 percent with private balconies), plus fine dining
options and generous space-per-guest ratios.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises also operates the 19,200 ton Paul Gauguin, which entered service in Tahiti and
French Polynesia in 1998, and is the most deluxe cruise ship ever to be based there year-round. Along with all ocean-view staterooms, 50% with private balconies, the
ship has a casual dress code suitable to the destination, cuisine inspired by a two-star Michelin French chef, complimentary water sports and her own retractable marina.
 Twice chosen as the World's Best Small Cruise Line by the readers of
Travel + Leisure and in 2003 by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine, Regent Seven Seas has earned a leadership role in the 6-star cruise industry. Their fleet of luxury ships provides a limited
number of guests the highest standard of cruising excellence combined with exciting opportunities for discovery around the world.
Since 1992, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has pioneered a number of maritime milestones. The Seven Seas Mariner was the world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship featuring the first restaurant at sea with chefs
from Le Cordon Bleu of Paris, the world's most prestigious culinary school. The new Seven Seas Voyager now shares these distinctions.

more prestigious awards in the future.
