SUMMARY
|
Seven Seas Navigator did not start out to be a cruise ship. When she was begun in a shipyard in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 1990s, the intent was to build an exploration ship for the Ukraine. However, by the time the hull was finished, the prospective purchaser was no longer interested in the project. The hull was instead purchased by V-ships who towed the incomplete ship to Italy, where she was transformed into a cruise ship. The ship was transformed not just into any cruise ship but into a luxury cruise ship - - one that has competed successfully in the luxury/ultra-luxury segment of the cruise industry for more than a decade. She also competes with the upper cabin categories on the large premium segment ships. Her style is traditional luxury. There has been extensive use of dark wood paneling, leather and quality furnishings. Overall, the decor is understated richness - - there is no shock and awe, no spectacle. Regent prides itself on its service. The food quality and presentation are excellent. In addition, Navigator offers a choice of a number of dining venues as on much larger ships. The cruise fare on Seven Seas Navigator includes not just a selection of wines and premium spirits but also such things as shore excursions, round-trip airfare, a hotel stay, ground transfers and onboard gratuities. |
