Shipboard Experience
All-Suite Accommodations: Your Personal Retreat
Accommodating only 700 guests each, Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Voyager are both all-suite (separate living area and bedroom), all-balcony ships, while their smaller sister vessel, Seven Seas Navigator, offers its 490 guests all-suite, all-oceanview accommodations – 90 percent with private balconies. Fourteen wheelchair-accessible suites are available, six aboard Seven Seas Mariner and four each on Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Navigator. Suites start at 301 square feet, ranging up to Master Suites measuring from 1,021 to 2,002 square feet. All have recently been enhanced by a multimillion-dollar refurbishment, giving them a renewed ambiance of warmth and sophistication.
Even the most intimate of these accommodations are comparable in size to big-city hotel rooms, while the larger suites give all-inclusive resorts a run for the money in terms of spaciousness – and then some. Plus, while resorts may tout their rooms as having an ocean view or garden view and such, on a cruise the view changes every day.
All Regent Seven Seas Cruises suites feature a European king-size bed, which can be reconfigured as twin beds, walk-in closet and safe, as well as interactive flat-screen TV with extensive viewing choices, including free movies on demand. Guests will also find a bottle of Regent champagne and fresh fruit waiting for them, along with a mini bar that is replenished daily with beer, soft drinks and bottled water – all complimentary. When it's time to freshen up, they can step into a marble-appointed bathroom with full bathtub and shower, luxury European linens, bath robes, slippers and hair dryer. Twice-a-day housekeeping is standard, while Penthouse Suites and above also include Butler service. One of the highest staff-to-guest ratios at sea – 1 to 1.6 – provides the optimum level of personal service.
The superiority of Regent Seven Seas Cruises accommodations has been recognized by leading travel publications, earning "Best Rooms" distinction on Condé Nast Traveler's Gold List (2008) and Forbes Traveler (2009), and twice winning "Best Cabins" honors in Travel + Leisure's World Best Awards (2007 and 2008)
