Regent Seven Seas Cruises has held the float out ceremony for its new luxury ship Seven Seas Grandeur.

The ship – which will become the sixth vessel in the line’s fleet when it launches in November 2023 – is now afloat at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Ancona, for its final stage of construction.

It will operate 18 voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, as well as two transatlantic crossings, all ranging from seven to 16 nights in length.

The inaugural voyage collection now includes a new maiden sailing – added due to strong demand, Regent said – with seven nights in the Adriatic and western Mediterranean, sailing from Venice (Trieste) to Barcelona.

Regent Seven Seas ‘leading the way’

Regent Seven Seas Cruises president Andrea DeMarco said: “While our new ships are always highly anticipated, Seven Seas Grandeur has proven to be so popular, we had to create an additional sailing for her inaugural season.

“The incredible reception for Seven Seas Grandeur is a testament not only to the strong demand for luxury cruising but also for Regent’s position as the leader in this space with every luxury included, unmatched hospitality and unrivalled space at sea.

“We are excited and immensely proud to welcome guests on board Seven Seas Grandeur later this year.”

At the start of February, Regent Seven Seas launched a new travel agent incentive to win a place on Seven Seas Grandeur’s preview cruise.
