Unique Regent Seven Seas Cruises is known as the world’s most inclusive cruise travel experience with a four-ship fleet that visits more than 450 destinations around the world.  Like other cruise lines, the ships of Regent Seven Seas need periodic maintenance not possible while in service.  Nearing the finish line of a $125 million fleetwide refurbishment program, the company has completed a 20-day dry dock upgrade of Seven Seas Mariner. So why bring this up now?  As noted, this is just what cruise lines do from time to time.  We like this news for a number of reasons including the addition of new culinary experiences, elegant new suite designs, and completely renewed guest spaces. Better yet, the first stop after dry dock?  Alaska!

Seven Seas Mariner Dining

Prime 7 Steakhouse
Offering an even more elevated dining experience, all restaurants on board Seven Seas Mariner were redesigned with enhanced art and décor. The newly updated steakhouse on Seven Seas Mariner, Prime 7, is now unlike any other restaurant in Regent’s fleet, with unique, rectangular light fixtures that are reminiscent of a sculpture across the ceiling, and cream-colored, pillow-backed chairs contrasted by sapphire walls and wood finishes.

Compass Rose
The flagship restaurant Compass Rose is completely reimagined, with a popular menu offering guests an unprecedented level of personal customization and choice, as well as a stunning new look with grand crystal chandeliers, rich wooden accents and celestial blue furnishings.

Chartreuce
Replacing Signatures is Chartreuse, already a guest favorite on other Seven Seas ships, boasting new furnishings, china, flooring and décor along with a completely new menu that highlights modern French cuisine.

Further enhancements were also made to La Veranda, allowing guests to indulge their palate while surrounded by a flawless ambiance.

Seven Seas Mariner Guest Suites

Leaving no detail untouched, Regent Seven Seas Cruises redesigned all guest suites. The elegantly appointed retreats feature new Elite Slumber™ Beds framed by plush, padded leather headboards, sitting areas furnished with comfortable sofas, accent tables and new artwork, as well as private balconies where guests can enjoy breathtaking views of the crystal blue sea and passing landscape. All suites feature walk-in closets and oversized, marble-accented bathrooms with L’Occitane® amenities. Plus, guests of Penthouse Suites enjoy additional in-suite bath amenities by Guerlain, and Distinctive Suite guests also receive Bottega Veneta.

 

The completely remodeled and relocated library exudes comfort with dark-wood bookshelves contrasted against cream furnishings, crowned by a glistening copper-adorned chandelier. With plenty of books to choose from and with doors that can provide a quiet retreat, guests will enjoy relaxing and enriching their minds in the new library.

The previous library space makes way for expanded seating at Coffee Connection, where guests have more space to enjoy delicious coffee drinks in a stylish new setting with leather furnishings in rich tones. The internet café is now conveniently located at the back of Coffee Connection, allowing guests the ability to stay connected with friends and family back home with free unlimited internet access.

Seven Seas Mariner Public Spaces

Inside, all public spaces received new carpeting, world-class art, furniture and décor, creating a new look throughout the ship. The Reception area, featuring new marble desks and original gold leaf accented artwork by Atlanta-based artist Tom Swanston. The grand spiral staircase in the atrium is crowned by a new large-scale blown glass art installation designed by Canadian studio Tsunami Glass, creating a beautiful view as you descend the glass elevators.
