Seven Seas Explorer Itineraries

Seven seas explorer review, review of seven seas explorer.

The 2016-built Seven Seas Explorer cruise ship is one of the newest RSSC-Regent boats, with sisterships Seven Seas Splendor (2021) and Seven Seas Grandeur (2023). The vessel's building cost (USD 450 million) ranks it the most expensive luxury cruise ship ever built.

The vessel (IMO number 9703150) is currently France- flagged (MMSI 538006712) and registered in Majuro / Marshall Islands .

History - construction and ownership

Regent Cruises (officially Regent Seven Seas Cruises / RSSC ) is an all-inclusive, top-luxury cruise brand fka "Radisson Seven Seas". Until 2014, the company (as part of "Prestige Cruise Holdings") was owned by Apollo Management LP - one of the world's largest private investment equity funds. Since September 2014, RSSC and the sister company Oceania Cruises are owned by NCL Norwegian (shipowner), acquired at the total cost of USD 3 billion. RSSC ships are medium-sized, with capacity up to 800 passengers. The fleet consists of 6-star rated all-suite and all-balcony vessels with a space-to-guest ratio around 70 and staff-to-guest ratio 1-to-1,6 (some of industry's best). As building cost per berth , RSSC liners are among the world's most expensive ships.

Regent Seven Seas Explorer cruise ship

The 750-passenger ship Seven Seas Explorer debuted in the summer of 2016. The vessel was launched on October 30, 2015, at Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente shipyard ( Trieste Italy ). The launching ceremony was attended by Robin Lindsay (RSSC's executive vice president) and Raffaele Davassi (shipyard's director). The launch godmother was Antonia Ronchi (Fincantieri employee).

Seven Seas Explorer was delivered on June 30 by Fincantieri's Sestri Ponente shipyard. It is the first newbuild for RSSC-Regent in 14 years and what the company touts as the most luxurious vessel ever built. Seven Seas Explorer's features include the opulent 3,875-sq. foot Regent Suite, several gourmet restaurants and extravagant lounges.

Decks and Cabins

Like all Regent cruise ships, Seven Seas Explorer staterooms are all in Suite categories. The number of suite categories is 16. Seven Seas Explorer has a total of 375 suites, of which 100% have private balconies. The largest ones are the Regent Suites (2915 ft2 / 270 m2 plus 960 ft2 / 89 m2 terrace).

The cost of the Regent Suite on the new Explorer ship signifies the ultimate Regent cruise luxury package experience. For an amazing 3875 ft2 Suite accommodation (1181 m2, with the balcony), guests can enjoy the superior pampering vacation travel that the Regent Cruises are worldwide famous with. This accommodation is not only the largest but also the most expensive one at sea - yours for "just" GBP 4800 per person/per day.

The boat has 13 decks , of which 10 are passenger-accessible and 7 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Seven Seas Splendor offers cooking classes in its specially dedicated teaching kitchen. The dishes are crafted from local ingredients. Food-focused shore excursions are also available, added to the line's Gourmet Explorer Tours.

  • Pacific Rim (Pan-Asian restaurant, dinner-only)
  • Pool Grill (fast food).

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

Seven Seas Explorer Wiki

The Regent Explorer ship is RSSC's 4th vessel (all-suite, all-balcony, top luxury) that joined in 2016 the fleetmates Mariner , Navigator and Voyager as the company's largest and most innovative. By building cost (USD 450 million) the vessel is currently world's most expensive luxury passenger ship ever built. The ship's interior features Carrara marble, huge quantities of gold (used by the shipbuilder for onboard decorations), Czech crystal chandeliers, hundreds of unique and very expensive artworks.

Regent Seven Seas Explorer cruise ship construction

Fun fact is, that ship's largest suite (accommodating two guests only) is the biggest sized cruise accommodation at sea (at the whopping 3875 ft2 / 1180 m2) /equaling a townhouse's size). This suite is also the most expensive cruise room ever offered. Regent Suite's bed alone cost around USD 90,000. Per-person prices are over GBP 3000, and these rates are per night. Among the suite's amenities are a custom-built Steinway grand piano and an in-suite spa room with unlimited complimentary spa treatments.

On September 2, 2014, NCL-Norwegian purchased "Prestige Cruise Holdings" (owner of Oceania Cruises and RSSC) for USD 3,025 billion, thus becoming the official shipowner in both fleets.

In mid-April 2016, RSSC announced upgraded fares adding free international flights to all 2017-2018 cruise Itineraries. These are round-trip air travel deals (business class) added to the company's signature (standard) all-inclusive package - wines, spirits, soda, water, unlimited internet, free shore excursions, prepaid gratuities, pre-post cruise hotel stays and transfers. The air-inclusive cruise deals involve international flights leaving from 26 cities (the USA and Canada), regardless of the suite category booked.

On May 26, 2016, was announced the name of ship's godmother - HSH Princess Charlene of Monaco. On June 30, 2016, the Marshall Islands- flagged vessel was officially delivered by Fincantieri to RSSC at Sestri Ponente Shipyard. On July 13, 2016, was vessel's christening ceremony held in Monte Carlo (Monaco) . The naming ceremony featured a 45-min live performance by Andrea Bocelli. The royal godmother was accompanied by her husband - Monaco's reigning monarch Prince Albert II. The christening ceremony was also attended by around 700 special guests, including all the RSSC company's top executives.

The company Apollo Group provides all RSSC ships with the entire onboard hotel product and services. This includes administration, food staff (preparation and serving), housekeeping staff, also the vessel's provisioning and crewing. Other cruise lines served by Apollo are Thomson UK (Marella) and Oceania .

Inaugural itineraries 2016

On July 20, 2016, was the inaugural cruise - 13-days Mediterranean itinerary from Monaco to Venice. Explorer is Regent Cruises' first new ship since 2003 when Seven Seas Voyager was launched. Explorer is followed by a fifth ship ( Seven Seas Splendor ) that enters service in 2020.

Seven Seas Explorer's inaugural cruise season was in Europe (Mediterranean Sea). Followed a Transatlantic crossing to PortMiami for the winter season in the Caribbean Sea. The inaugural Caribbean cruise was a 14-night roundtrip Miami to Serene Islands (December 4) followed by a 10-night Caribbean cruise (December 14) roundtrip from Miami. The New Year's Eve itinerary was a 16-night Panama Canal transition from Miami to Los Angeles CA . The ship returned to Florida on February 4 (2017) and was home-ported in Miami Florida for a total of 5 back-to-back cruises (10-night roundtrips) to Caribbean islands, Mexico, and Belize. Among the visited ports of call was the NCL private island in Belize Harvest Caye - an island destination developed by the parent company NCLH.

The Mediterranean Inaugural season was complemented by 22 "Gourmet Explorer Tours" (offered on all Mediterranean itineraries) designed to enhance the onboard dining experiences in the ship's Culinary Arts Kitchen.

Review: Regent Seven Seas Explorer

An atrium of a cruise ship.

Reviewed by Jessica Puckett

What is the line? Regent Seven Seas

Name of ship? Seven Seas Explorer

Passenger occupancy? 746 passengers

Itinerary? Central America, through Mexico, Honduras, and Belize

Start out with the big picture—what is this cruise line known for? Regent Seven Seas is known for its luxe ships and amenities. The line has some of the largest suites at sea, with spacious verandas and bathrooms with marble-trimmed tubs. It’s also known for its swanky onboard art collections.

Tell us about the ship in general: It may have been built in 2015, but Seven Seas Explorer still feels as modern and fresh as many lines’ newest launches. Spaces on board are gracious and formal, with striking chandeliers made of crystal and hand-blown glass, as well as a world-class art collection featuring paintings by Picasso and Miró. There’s plenty of space and activities to keep passengers entertained across its 10 decks, but with less than 800 passengers, it’s a good middle ground for travelers who don’t love being in a crowd.

Who is onboard? Passengers on Seven Seas Explorer are mainly older couples and retirees, with a few honeymooners and several solo travelers sprinkled throughout as well.

Describe the cabins: Every stateroom on Seven Seas Explorer is a suite with a private balcony. Even the smallest are some of the most spacious at sea, with king-size beds, a lounge area, a double-bathroom vanity, and separate shower and tub—a rarity on cruise ships. The balcony is large enough for a chaise lounge and a table and chairs to enjoy a glass of wine (or maybe the complimentary bottle of Champagne left by your cabin steward upon arrival).

Tell us about the crew: The ship’s crew were white-gloved and formal; whether you’re ordering a four-course surf-and-turf meal in Prime 7 or you’re asking your cabin steward for a cup of peppermint tea before you go to bed, expect every detail to exude the ultimate hospitality.

What food and drink options are available on board? Seven Seas Explorer has 10 restaurants and bars: two main dining restaurants and three specialty restaurants. The specialty offerings include Prime 7, a premium steakhouse; Chartreuse, which specializes in modern French fine-dining; and Pacific Rim, a sleek Asian-fusion concept. Each specialty restaurant requires a reservation but does not cost extra. The standout for me was Pacific Rim, which serves decadent dishes like miso black cod wrapped in hoba leaf, Chinese barbecue pork ribs with char siu sauce, snow crab, and crispy duck spring rolls. One of the main dining options, Compass Rose, is no slouch either, with three-course seated table service and Versace tableware. There’s also a pool buffet, coffee shop, and breakfast buffet that transforms to an Italian outdoor restaurant for dinner.

As far as bars and lounges go, Seven Seas Explorer has you covered. Dip into the Meridian Lounge for a pre-dinner aperitif, hors d’oeuvres, and live piano music, or stop into the Observation Lounge for cocktails and dancing. The Connoisseurs' Club is a perfect spot to grab a cigar and a nightcap while chatting with fellow passengers until the wee hours. But, I think my favorite place to grab a drink was the pool bar, where tropical tipples are served in the sunshine around the ship’s striking plunge pool.

Is there a spa on board and is it worth visiting? The spa is certainly worth a visit on a sea day, or on a day when you might not feel like going into port. The treatment rooms are serene and secluded, and I received a top-notch massage. The spa also has amenities open to everyone on board at no charge, including an aromatherapy steam room, chill room, and infrared sauna. Right behind the spa on the aft deck of the ship is a small deck with an infinity pool, the perfect place to soak and watch the sunset after a relaxing treatment.

Activities and entertainment Regent’s fleet offers Broadway-caliber shows backed by a live five-piece orchestra in its plush Constellation Theater. Smaller-scale piano performances and the like also take place nightly in bars and lounges throughout the ship. On the sports deck you’ll also find a pickleball court, ping pong table, shuffleboard, putting green, and netted driving range bay.

How was the experience for families? There seemed to be relatively few children on board, but the Club Mariner Youth program features kids’ programming like dance parties or mini-putt tournaments for children ages five to 17.

Where did it sail and how were the excursions? Did anything stand out? Our voyage sailed roundtrip from Miami, calling upon Costa Maya and Cozumel in Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; and Harvest Caye, Regent parent company Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island in Belize. Roatan was a particular highlight, as it’s a destination that’s complicated to reach if you’re not cruising. There was enough time in the day at port to soak up the gorgeous white-sand beaches, have a tour through the tropical forests, and sample local ceviche.

Are there any stand-out sustainability or green initiatives about this cruise? Every guest receives a Regent reusable water bottle, and the ship has plenty of refilling stations scattered around.

Finally, give a sentence or two on why the cruise is worth booking. If you’re looking for a cruise that offers a sense of elegance and pampering, a voyage aboard Regent Seven Seas Explorer is for you.

Chartreuse

Deck: Deck 10

Attention to detail. You’ll notice it at the front of Chartreuse, where a beautifully crafted bar beckons while you wait. It’s in the art deco tile pattern on the floor and sparkling gold tile on the walls. It’s in the décor of a chic Parisian restaurant discovered during a stroll along the Seine. Savor ‘new’ flavors to Chartreuse like a tender veal rack of loin with caramelized endive, grape chutney and the earthy tones of a walnut veal jus sauce.

Compass Rose

La Veranda & Sette Mari

La Veranda & Sette Mari

Each evening, La Veranda transforms into Sette Mari at La Veranda, a casual, intimate dining experience. Choose from authentic Italian specialties inspired by family recipes that span generations, or opt for something with a modern twist like a spice-crusted tuna steak with braised endive, polenta and salmoriglio. Savor it all with a perfectly paired Tuscan wine. Sette Mari at La Veranda is open for dinner only.

Pacific Rim

Pacific Rim

Maximize your sense of the exotic as you pass a large Tibetan Prayer wheel on your way into Pacific Rim, our dining masterpiece that celebrates the culinary traditions of Asia.

Be sure to check out the ocean views through Pacific Rim’s lotus-shaped windows.

Pool Grill

The Pool Grill serves up grilled-to-order burgers, grilled seafood, sandwiches, fresh salads and frozen treats like milkshakes and hand-dipped ice cream sprinkled with your favorite toppings. Come by before or after a shore excursion – there’s no need for more formal attire during our evening hours – or enjoy a snack between activities.

Prime 7

A true classic in every sense, Prime 7 of Seven Seas Explorer® is the epitome of luxury dining. Works by Picasso and Chagall adorn the restaurant's bar lobby and leather wing-back chairs and burnished woods abound. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar before savoring a succulent filet mignon or mouthwatering côte de boeuf at your personal banquette. For dessert, perhaps a slice of 14-layer Valhrona chocolate cake with pistachio sauce.

Ship Review: Seven Seas Explorer

Grand entrance, see why regent’s seven seas explorer is a ship of superlatives.

By Fran Golden

As a journalist, you’re not supposed to believe such marketing speak as “the most luxurious cruise ship ever built,” right?

Except here’s the thing: Compared to other cruise ships, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ new 750-passenger Seven Seas Explorer feels, well, palatial. Then there’s the fact that the all-suite, all-balcony ship has, up on Deck 14, a mansion-sized suite that goes for $10,000 per night — and comes with its own spa. It’s by far the fanciest suite at sea.

Luxury on the 55,254-ton Seven Seas Explorer , the largest in the four-ship Regent fleet, is not about subtlety. It’s about carefully designed spaces, both classic and opulent, that express that this vessel was built for those with the finest of tastes — and the budgets to match.

Decadent Décor

Frank Del Rio, president and CEO of Regent’s parent company, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, had a clear idea of where he wanted to go with this new ship: It would be a trophy ship for the “one-percenters of the world,” a symbol that wealth is back in vogue.

The line’s customers, he said, have a net worth of more than $2 million, are mostly older Americans, and are a loyal crowd, with many repeat guests on every sailing. They may be too proudly low-key to show up to dinner wearing 6-carat diamond earrings (Regent doesn’t do formal nights), but they definitely love luxury.

Indeed, no stone has been left unturned aboard Seven Seas Explorer — literally. The ship has an acre of marble, half of it Carrara, and another acre of other stone laid out in intricate patterns. Then there are the soaring ceilings that are topped by sparkling chandeliers, hundreds of them in hand-blown Czech crystal and glass, even in guest hallways.

Stunning original artwork includes eye-catching abstract paintings commissioned for the ship from renowned Spanish artist Eduardo Arranz-Bravo. Picasso, Miró, and Chagall are in the mix, too. Different styles are represented in Seven Seas Explorer’ s décor — everything from Art Deco and Art Nouveau to country club and modern — and it’s all very tasteful.

Seven Seas Explorer is a ship where champagne flows freely; caviar is help-yourself at breakfast on select mornings; dinner menus feature always-available lobster and filet mignon, and tables are decorated with Versace chargers and butter plates; and an international crew of 552 is tasked with caring for guests’ every needs.

An Inspired Vision

Art and design are passions of Del Rio, who said his inspiration for Seven Seas Explorer came from a magazine photo of a hotel corridor, which he said perfectly captured an attitude he wanted for the new ship. Del Rio showed the picture to the three firms hired to work on the newbuild project — Tillberg Design AB, ICRAVE and CallisonRTKL — and the designers immediately got what he was going for.

“It signified things to us like quality, level of finish, stylistically the direction that ship needed to go,” said Greg Walton, vice president, CallisonRTKL.

Armed with a photo and a ship that topped $450 million, the designers set out to create an ambience as fine as any grand European hotel. Del Rio says he can’t even remember what hotel was in the photo, but that the salon area leading to the Compass Rose restaurant best reflects what he was looking for.

“It reminds you of the great hallways of the classic European hotels,” said Del Rio. “The marble floors and walls, and that great chandelier. It’s a grand entrance with a lack of clutter, and it’s where the ship’s space and volume really begin to show.”

Asked to describe the ship in one word, Del Rio said it would be “timeless.”

“We hadn’t launched a new ship in 13 years, so the new one couldn’t be just a regular cookie-cutter upscale ship,” he said. “It had to be something extraordinary, something to make a statement, something to shine a real bright light on the Regent brand.”

Gleeful Designers

If you’re a designer, can you imagine anything better than working with a cruise line executive whose vision involves wanting the best of the best? Aboard a pre-inaugural sailing, the ship’s designers were downright giddy talking about Seven Seas Explorer’ s extravagances.

This is a ship where quality French and Italian fabrics abound; where gold leaf mosaics are part of the décor in the new French restaurant, Chartreuse; and where hand-blown Murano sconces add supper club classiness to the theater.

“Working with Murano glass and other luxurious materials really helped us express our design,” said Kim Lanza, a designer at ICRAVE. “The sky was the limit for our design and we really appreciated that. In the design world, we don’t see that every day.”

Walton added that he was surprised when Del Rio even green-lighted his request to spend $500,000 for a Tibetan-style prayer wheel outside the new Pacific Rim restaurant. The cast-iron sculpture was so heavy it required steel reinforcement below, he said.

Sweet Dreams

Seven Seas Explorer boasts amazing suites where you could happily take up residence for weeks or months. But the splashiest of them all is the 4,443-square-foot, two-bedroom, three-bathroom Regent Suite, where — for $10,000 per night — you get bragging rights that include sleeping in a $90,000 Savoir No. 1 bed that cost another $60,000 to install and outfit with luxury pillows and linens.

Yes, this is an extraordinary space. The master bath includes golden faucets, a private spa with steam and sauna, and the significant perk of unlimited complimentary en-suite treatments from the Canyon Ranch SpaClub. The living room features a $250,000 one-of-a-kind Dakota Jackson–designed Steinway Grand Maroque piano. There’s an open-air hot tub, a private indoor observation area with better views than the captain’s, a private butler, and a car and driver at each port of call.

As sweet as this suite is, no one on Seven Seas Explorer is likely to complain about his or her digs. Everyone gets room to spread out; the rest of the suites range from 307- to 2,108-square-feet, and many have oversized balconies. Marble bathrooms are stocked with L’Occitane Mer & Mistral bath amenities, and Penthouse-level and higher suites also come with butler service.

All-Inclusive Luxury

With three other luxury ships in its fleet, Regent already stood out in the cruise industry as having the most all-inclusive product. Air, hotel stays, shore excursions, gratuities, premium wine and alcohol, and even Wi-Fi are included in the cruise fare.

But besides being an attention-getter in terms of space and luxury, Seven Seas Explorer adds features such as the line’s first hands-on Culinary Arts Kitchen cooking school (classes for up to 18 guests on topics such as Majestic Mediterranean are $89). Other new foodie features include Pacific Rim, where the menu focuses on pan-Asian dishes including sushi and curries (try the duck spring rolls). Chartreuse focuses on classic French with a modern twist (the escargot comes in a ragù).

The entertainment lineup brings new shows that were developed by the Norwegian Cruise Line entertainment team, including the whole first act of the Tony Award–winning musical A Day in Hollywood , featuring songs from the 1930s (“Thanks for the Memory,” “Over the Rainbow”) and tap dancing; and a Burn the Floor dance show themed around 1964 and the rise of Beatlemania.

And since the cruise execs didn’t want the new “world’s most luxurious ship” positioned too far ahead of the rest of the fleet, the line is in the midst of a $125 million refurbishment program for its other ships: Seven Seas Navigator just received a $41 million upgrade, and is showing off a sparkling and more contemporary look; Seven Seas Voyager follows this fall; and Seven Seas Mariner will be next spring.

RELATED:   Regent Names Its First Female Captain 

Seven Seas Explorer arrives in Miami in November to sail its inaugural Caribbean season.

A Royal Send Off

If you’re going to make a splash with a new luxury ship, you can’t get much more glamorous than an evening christening in Monte Carlo, a pierside ceremony with huge yachts, and the city’s stunning seafront as a backdrop.

The only thing that might top that would be, oh, the attendance by royalty — in this case the ship’s godmother, Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco, and her husband Prince Albert II of Monaco.

At a black tie ceremony in July that was attended by 700 invited guests, the Princess, elegant in her white gown, cut a red velvet ribbon sending a Primat bottle of Veuve Clicquot smashing against the ship’s hull. Then followed a 40-minute private performance by world-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. Taste and class was on display.
