The Seven Seas Explorer has welcomed luxury travelers back on board for the first time since the industry-wide voluntary pause in operations. Excited guests embarked on October 15, 2021, in Trieste, Italy, for an unforgettable journey through Italy, Croatia, and Greece, experiencing the highest standards of service in luxuriously designed suites, restaurants, bars, and lounges.
Sailing with the cruise line’s enhanced SailSAFE™ Health and Safety Program – which includes 100% vaccination of both guests and crew – the Seven Seas Explorer is the second in Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ fleet to return, joining its newest ship, Seven Seas Splendor, which has been enjoying a hugely successful inaugural season since September 11, 2021.
“It’s truly incredible to be back aboard the Seven Seas Explorer, and it’s fantastic to see our guests being treated to the unparalleled Regent experience once again,” said Jason Montague, president and CEO of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, speaking from aboard the Seven Seas Explorer. “Our crew has done an extraordinary job preparing the ship for its return, with such seamless service that it’s as if we were never away.”.
The Seven Seas Explorer is currently on an 8-night cruise through the Adriatic and Mediterranean, visiting Ravenna (Italy), Zadar (Croatia), Dubrovnik (Croatia), Bari (Italy), Corfu (Greece), Taormina (Italy), and Sorrento/Capri (Italy). The ship will arrive in Rome (Italy) on October 23, after which it will continue its tour of Southern Europe before crossing the Atlantic to Miami (Florida) for a Caribbean season from mid-November through March 2022.
The next ships to resume sailing will be the Seven Seas Mariner on December 18, 2021, and the Seven Seas Navigator on January 6, 2022, both departing from Miami, Florida. The Seven Seas Voyager will depart on February 15, 2022, from Barcelona, Spain.
During its voluntary suspension of sailings, Regent Seven Seas Cruises established the SailSAFE COVID-19 health and safety program. The program was developed with guidance from a team of scientific and public health experts, including the SailSAFE Global Health and Wellbeing Council.
