Regent Seven Seas Cruises Plans

Two World Cruises in 2009

Regent Seven Seas Cruises will offer two World Cruise itineraries in 2009 -- the first luxury cruise line to offer such lengthy global winter cruises in the same year. The cruises will be offered onboard the 700-guest Seven Seas Voyager and the 700-guest Seven Seas Mariner.

"We are delighted to schedule two World Cruises in 2009, an unprecedented deployment that will provide our guests with the ultimate travel experience aboard the only all-suite, all-balcony luxury ships in the world," said Regent President Mark Conroy.

The two distinct itineraries span six continents, and include 23 overnight calls and exclusive on-board entertainment and the amenities.

Seven Seas Voyager will embark on a 116-night journey to the South Pacific, Asia,  Arabia, the Mediterranean and Bermuda.
