REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES

        Regent Seven Seas Cruises (originally Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, which was formed by combining two cruise lines, Radisson Diamond Cruises and Seven Seas Cruises, in 1995) operates cruises with five-star standard. Its mid-sized ships have the highest passenger space ratio and better crew to passenger ratio when compared to ships of similar tonnage in the cruise industry. Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner are the only two ships in the world with "all suite, all balcony".

        Under the motto "Luxury Goes Exploring", the ships sail to seven seas around the world, including Alaska, Europe, The Mediterranean, The Caribbean, Mexico, Asia and Australia, Tahiti and South Pacific, Africa, Bermuda. There are also Grand Voyages annually, such as World Cruises since 2002 and Asia-Pacific Grand Cruises, that depart in January and in September respectively.
