The new dining and entertainment on Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Seven Seas Grandeur
SponsoredThe future of luxury cruising – including dining and entertainment – has become even more tantalising with the imminent launch of Seven Seas Grandeur from Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
Making her debut this month, a voyage aboard this magnificent vessel promises to be a feast for the senses, especially for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises has long been known for setting the gold standard for luxury travel on the high seas, and this latest addition to the luxurious fleet continues that proud tradition, with Seven Seas Grandeur exemplifying Regent’s ‘heritage of perfection’.
Regent has recently unveiled transformative entertainment and culinary experiences ahead of Seven Seas Grandeur’s debut. Behind the culinary transformation is Bernhard Klotz, Regent’s Vice President of Food & Beverage, and his culinary teams. They have meticulously crafted more than 130 new dishes and redefined the recipes of guest favourites across seven dining venues. These spaces have also been reimagined and redesigned to further elevate the guest experience.
“For over 30 years, we have provided our guests with the highest standards in luxury travel, from personalised on-board service to immersive destination experiences, to perfecting epicurean offerings across The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet,” says Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“As a celebration of Regent’s heritage, Seven Seas Grandeur has been stunningly reimagined for the future, enhancing the eclectic culinary experiences found on board through delightfully refined menus and beautifully designed specialty restaurants.”
Regent has also announced a set of new, captivating productions to debut in November 2023. The shows pay homage to the rich legacy of Broadway and its profound influence on cruise-ship entertainment. Guests can expect world-class performers, breathtaking choreography and unforgettable moments that will take their breath away.
Under the visionary leadership of Kai Alan Carrier, Director of Artistic Theatrical Entertainment, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has created immersive and engaging theatrical experiences exclusively for Seven Seas Grandeur guests.
“These new entertainment productions aboard Seven Seas Grandeur are a testament to our commitment to providing our guests with unparalleled luxury and unforgettable moments,” says DeMarco.
“Seven Seas Grandeur embodies over 30 years of unrivalled experiences, and so we felt it important that the team to bring the ship’s new production shows to life were steeped in Broadway heritage and talent, whether that be decorated performers, accomplished choreographers or creative minds, to ensure that our guests will be captivated from start to finish.”
