MIAMI (24.

The line experienced the longest waitlist for a world cruise in its history, with all Penthouse Suites and above selling out within a matter of hours when sales opened on 23. September.
“Our world cruises are always highly anticipated, and I am delighted with the response to our latest global voyage, especially considering the unprecedented public health challenges we are currently navigating,” stated Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “This record-breaking 2023 World Cruise launch day demonstrates people’s willingness to take long cruises to exotic lands and the substantial appetite for luxury travel our guests have and it is a testament to the unrivaled Regent experience that our outstanding crew have perfected.”
Regent’s 2023 World Cruise is the line’s longest since 2011 and will explore South America, South Pacific Islands, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Africa and Spain on a 143-night voyage across 72 ports of call.
The epic journey spans six continents from Miami, Florida to Barcelona, Spain in nearly five months, sailing 07. Januar to 30. Mai 2023. Full voyage details can be found in the dedicated brochure and an enticing World Cruise 2023 video has also been created.
Seven Seas Mariner®, the world’s first all-suite, all-balcony ship, will take luxury travelers “Beyond the Horizon,” re-igniting a love for the water by sailing a total of 38.279 nautical miles, including a full transit of the Panama Canal and the navigation of three oceans, 14 seas, straits, gulfs, bays and channels. On land guests will have untold adventures in 42 countries with up to 356 FREE shore excursions and access to 48 UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
