'We’re excited to bring Seven Seas Explorer to PortMiami and provide guests with an incredible opportunity to experience the most luxurious ship ever built with the convenience of departing from a domestic homeport,' said Jason Montague, president and ceo, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The 750-passenger, all-balcony-suite Explorer will operate a Caribbean season of 10 cruises. Those kick off Dec. 4 with a 14-night 'Serene Islands' voyage, followed by a 10-night 'Caribbean Dawn' cruise. Both sail round-trip Miami.
The ship then heads west to ring in the New Year with a 16-night 'Grand Canal Crossing' from Miami to Los Angeles via the Panama Canal, with stops throughout the Caribbean and Central America.
Seven Seas Explorer returns to South Florida on Feb. 4 and will use Miami as its homeport for five 10-night round-trips visiting the Caribbean, Mexico and Belize. Two cruises will call at the new southern Belize destination Harvest Caye, developed by Regent's parent company, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Giménez said the ship will expand PortMiami’s economic contribution, adding more job opportunities to the local economy.
Regent launched operations at PortMiami in 2012. PortMiami director/ceo Juan Kuryla thanked the line for its 'continued commitment and trust.' Other Regent ships sailing from the port this year include Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Navigator.
