REGENT Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Explorer, dubbed “the most luxurious ship ever built”, arrived into Sydney Harbour on Thu, on her first call to Australia during the vessel’s maiden voyage Down Under.
Explorer’s first season in Asia Pacific is seeing her tour through Australia, Asia, and New Zealand, for a season of regional voyages throughout the summer.
The maiden voyages offer travellers a chance to rediscover destinations including Sydney, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Wellington, and more.
To celebrate Explorer’s arrival in Australia, a number of trade partners were invited aboard the ship for a tour, and to experience a lunch in the art-deco Chartreuse restaurant, hosted by outgoing Senior Vice President & Managing Director Asia Pacific Steve Odell (CW 16 Dec).
“We’re delighted to be welcoming The Most Luxurious Ship Ever Built into our own backyard with some truly incredible, close to home sailings,” he said.
“Seven Seas Explorer delivers a level of luxury never seen before in this region, and we can’t wait to share her with local travellers.”
Living up to her luxurious billing, Explorer features deluxe fittings & finishes, including almost 500 chandeliers; a USD$7 million art collection including pieces by Marc Chagall and Pablo Picasso; and more than 4,000 square metres of marble.
Onboard amenities range from the relaxing Pool Deck; the Sports Deck, which features a golf net, putting green, paddle tennis court, & bocce court; the Serene Spa & Wellness centre; to the Culinary Arts Kitchen, where guests can take cooking masterclasses from international chefs.
