Just months ahead of launching its latest ship, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has placed an order for another ultra-luxe vessel.
A second Explorer-class ship will be built by Fincantieri and is expected to float out in 2020.
It will feature many of the same high-end amenities as soon-to-launch sister ship Explorer, which has been billed as the most luxurious ship yet.
"The extraordinary demand generated by Seven Seas Explorer, including record-breaking booking volumes, reinforced our decision to expand our fleet with an additional ship that mirrors the same incredibly high standards of luxury," Regent president and COO Jason Montague said in a release.
Regent said the newer ship will cost around $480 million to build.
Regent Seven Seas Explorer is nearing completion and begins sailing in July.
It has already proved a hit with strong booking volumes for its inaugural season.
