REGENT Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has taken delivery of its fifth vessel, the new Regent Seven Seas Splendor (pictured), which was formally handed over to the line last Fri in Ancona, Italy.
The 224m-long ship has capacity for 750 guests, who are served by more than 550 crew members, with stunning public spaces, a variety of all-balcony suites and extensive facilities including a lavish spa, multiple restaurants, a Culinary Arts Kitchen and more.
RSSC President, Jason Montague, who is on board a special preview cruise in Italy this week, said Splendor’s passengers were “surrounded by elegance, comfort and hospitality.
“Luxury travellers have anticipated this stunning new ship for more than two years,” he said, noting that when Splendor opened for bookings 18 months ago (CW 13 Jul 2018), the result was the busiest booking day in the company’s history.
The ship’s captain is Selena Melani, the first female to take charge of a brand new ocean cruise ship, who welcomed guests on board last night.
Montague said Splendor continued Regent’s relentless focus on all-inclusive excellence.
After several preview cruises, Splendor’s first official voyage will depart from Barcelona on 06 Feb to Miami, where she will be christened on 21 Feb by her godmother, legendary supermodel Christie Brinkley.
