Regent reports record sales for new flagship

Sunday, 28 Jan, 2015 0

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has reported single-day and first-week record bookings for its new flagship Seven Seas Explorer.

The ship went on sale exclusively to members of the line’s loyalty programme on 19 January and, according to the cruise line, reservations made that day were almost three times the previous single-day revenue record.

With bookings currently limited to past cruisers, the first week’s sales have more than doubled the previous high.

Reservations will become widely available from next week (February 4).

"Our booking experience echoed that of our offices in the US and with the maiden voyage nearly sold out and demand for the inaugural season being extremely strong, it underscores the global excitement surrounding the world’s most luxurious ship," said Graham Sadler, managing director Regent Seven Seas Cruises UK.

Scheduled to set sail in the summer of 2016, Seven Seas Explorer’s maiden voyage will be a 14-night sailing from Monte Carlo to Venice on July 20.

Carrying 750 guests, the all-suite, all-balcony ship will boast one-of-the-highest space ratios in the cruise industry.
