Seven Seas Grandeur has been floated out of dry dock ahead of its debut in November. The newest ship in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet will now be fitted out internally with ultra-luxury suites and reimagined public spaces.
“We are excited and immensely proud to welcome guests on board Seven Seas Grandeur later this year.”
Andrea DeMarco – President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
The float-out of the 746-guest Seven Seas Grandeur took place at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy. According to maritime tradition a prayer was offered by the shipyard’s chaplain and a bottle of champagne broken over the bow. Then the sluice gates opened and the waters poured in, gently lifting Seven Seas Grandeur off her dry dock mounts.

Seven Seas Grandeur will be the sixth ship in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet. Now afloat and in the final-stage construction attention will focus on her lavish suites, elegant lounges and exquisite restaurants. The cruise line assure us Seven Seas Grandeur will embody Regent’s heritage of perfection. Indeed, anticipation is high and industry insiders expect it to be among the most luxurious ships at sea.
Seven Seas Grandeur will feature all-new suite designs across 15 different accommodation categories. There will be classic Veranda Suites, as well as larger Penthouses, Master Suites and the top-of-the-range Regent Suite.
On board, guests will find familiar dining venues including the Prime 7 steakhouse as well as the outstanding French restaurant called Chartreuse. There will also be the signature Compass Rose restaurant which will boast an entirely new decor.
Seven Seas Grandeur will set sail in November 2023, bound for the warm waters of the Caribbean. The inaugural season will include numerous 7 to 10-day sailings in the region. She will return to the Mediterranean in time for the European 2024 summer season.
