(TAN): Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the world’s leading luxury cruise line, has taken delivery of Seven Seas Grandeur, the cruise company said.
The vessel was designed by Studio DADO and built by premierFincantieri in Ancona, Italy in just over two years. With gross tonnage of 55,500, staff of 548, and holding only 746 guests, Seven Seas Grandeur will provide among the highest space and staff to guest ratios in the industry.
“We would like to thank Studio DADO and Fincantieri for their outstanding collaboration in realising this incredible new vessel which truly builds on the ground-breaking traditions of Regent’s exceptional Explorer-class ships which came before,” said Harry Sommer, president and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings. “Seven Seas Grandeur’s inaugural season is all but sold out, which is testament to the burgeoning popularity of the unrivalled Regent experience and also reflective of the ship being the most anticipated launch of 2023.”
