Regent says sales of mega cruise proves strength of luxury market

Monday, 10 August 20153 min read

A price tag of more than $100,000 per cabin hasn’t stopped Regent Seven Seas’ 2017 world cruise from becoming the hottest ticket in the cruise industry.

Announced last month, Regent’s epic 128-day world cruise is close to a sell-out just 24 hours after going on sale.

"This cruise has proven so popular that 70% was booked on the very first day of sales," said Frank Del Rio, CEO of parent Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

"This is a testament not only to the allure of the Regent brand, but also to our belief that guests want unique, different, and rich destination experiences."

Fares for the mega cruise begin at $54,999 per person based on double occupancy.

Some of the largest suites which have butler service, come with a price tag of more than $300,000 per couple.

The 490-passenger all-suite Seven Seas Navigator sets sail from Miami on January 5 2017 calling at more than 60 ports on six continents from the Caribbean to New Zealand, India, the Gulf and Mediterranean.

The fares include a pre-cruise hotel stay, first class flights to Miami, unlimited internet and beverages on the ship.
