Cruise merger will add new amenities
The merger of Regent Hotels and Radisson Seven Seas Cruises in the next 18 months will involve upgraded suites and décor, as well as new amenities and technology.
“Our acclaimed cruise line is evolving to a new higher level,” said Jay Witzel, president and CEO of Carlson Homes Worldwide and Carlson Cruises Worldwide.
The new global Regent brand will encompass Regent Hotels and Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, which will change its name to Regent Seven Seas Cruises immediately.
Regent Hotels, with a growing portfolio of luxury properties worldwide, was acquired by the Carlson Companies in 1997.
“Some things will not change,” Mr Witzel said.
He said the cruise line will continue to operate the world’s only all-balcony suite with small and mid-sized ships that offer gourmet food.
