Regent reveals Grandeur's suites, new-look restaurants, lounge

The ship's inaugural season will start in November 2023 with 17 voyages in the Caribbean and Mediterranean at fares from $3,999 to $87,999 including shore excursions, business class air for intercontinental flights from the US and Canada, premium beverages, Wi-Fi, laundry, gratuities, transfers and, for those in Concierge-level suites and higher, pre-cruise hotel packages. Reservations will open this month, on Sept. 22.

The 750-passenger, 55,500gt ship is the sister of Seven Seas Splendor and Seven Seas Explorer.

'A canvas such as Seven Seas Grandeur is a designer’s dream,' said Yohandel Ruiz, founding partner, Studio DADO, which is designing all the interiors. 'The level of luxury needed requires us to consider and perfect every single detail that the discerning Regent guest will experience. Not only is the functionality of each individual space of the highest importance, whether it’s indulging in a gourmet meal or reclining on a plush mattress for a restorative sleep following a day of exploring, but the finest of materials must work in perfect harmony too, from textures to color tones. It’s a challenge to relish.'

Prime 7 steak house

Prime 7 and Chartreuse

Following the reimagined design of the Compass Rose main restaurant are two other dining spots for Seven Seas Grandeur.

The design of Prime 7 steak house and Chartreuse, the French restaurant, were inspired by turn of the century New York and 1925 Paris and the Art Deco movement, respectively.

Observation Lounge

The new-design Observation Lounge provides quiet alcove seating for sunset-watching and elegant space for cocktails under an organic art nouveau-inspired mesh crystal chandelier.
