SEVEN Seas Voyager sashayed herself into Sydney
Harbour last Wednesday to give her international guests
a taste of the city with an overnight call, and whilst they
were ashore, CW was lucky enough to get onboard for a
sample of what the ‘six-star’ ship had to offer.
Onboard, what is striking is the ship’s understated
elegance: there are no loud colour schemes or garish
artwork, no bling, and no brash embellishments, but
rather a muted palette of creams, browns and umbers, and simple, classical style.
The vessel features all ocean-view suite accommodation for a maximum of 700 guests, and a
staff to guest ratio of 1 to 1.5, as well as plenty of dining options, including the main restaurant
Compass Rose, Signatures (French food), Prime 7 (steakhouse), and La Veranda (al fresco dining).
Voyager also boasts a two-tiered
Constellation Theatre, Card Room, Casino,
Connoisseur Club (where guests can enjoy a
cognac and a cigar), Voyager Lounge (with live
band and dancing), and Canyon Ranch Spa.
There is also an extensive library mid-ship,
as well as an expansive pool deck replete with
a large pool, hot tubs and Pool Bar and Grill.
“Seven Seas Voyager is incredibly popular,
we’re almost always fully booked,” a spokesperson for Regent Seven Seas said.
“Part of this popularity is that we include everything in the upfront price, all the shore
excursions, all the dining, even in specialty restaurants, and all the drinks.
“So our guests can order a drink without being chased with a bill, and they can go out on as
many shore excursions as they want without having to pay for the privilege- we just don’t do that
nickel and diming type of cruising,” the spokesperson added.
