Seven Seas Splendor's 2024 Lisbon to Cape Town 24-night sailing attracted more reservations than any other.
Demonstrating the continued and growing appetite of luxury travelers, the cruise line beat its previous largest booking day of August 18, 2021, when it launched its 2023-2024 Voyage Collection.
The feat also marks Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ eighth record-breaking launch since 2019 when it achieved its then largest World Cruise launch day.
Exotic destinations
Travel trends identified that guests are, like the previous year's launch day, most keen to book exotic destinations with the desire to travel longer with sailings including destinations in Africa, Asia, and South America making up approximately 70% of the top 10 itineraries reserved and guests increasingly making reservations through Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ global network of travel partners.
Additionally, the cruise line saw a large upsurge of sales made on the day by guests who were already sailing the five-ship fleet.
Jason Montague, president, and CEO of Regent Seven Seas Cruises said, 'this year's voyage collection was highly appealing with more variety featuring over 160 new port-intensive itineraries that discover every part of the globe, including on board our newest ship Seven Seas Grandeur once she joins the fleet in 2023.'
16 nights or longer duration
Of the top ten voyages booked on the day, no single voyage had a duration lower than 16 nights, with the longest being 25 nights and entry-level prices for the line's spacious veranda and deluxe veranda suites ranged from $9,999 per guest and $21,199 per guest.
Other notable destinations featured in the top 10 sailings booked on the record launch day were the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America sailings featuring the Amazon River.
The most spent on a single reservation overall (inside or outside of the top 10 voyages) was close to $275,000 for a Grand Suite on board Seven Seas Mariner.
Regent's 2024-2025 itineraries encompassing every continent, showcases 160 sailings with 130 overnight stays, 18 maiden ports of call, four Grand Voyages, and a 150-night World Cruise.
