About Regent Seven Seas Cruises
2009 Editors' Picks Awards Winner!
Best Luxury Staterooms
The current company, based in Ft. Lauderdale, was formed in 1992 as a result of the merger between two one-ship lines -- Radisson Cruises and Seven Seas Cruises. The former contributed the Radisson Diamond, the industry's only twin-hulled ship, and the latter operated Song of Flower (both have since been retired from the fleet).
Since the late 1990's, the line has grown steadily, adding Paul Gauguin in 1997, Seven Seas Navigator in 1999 and Seven Seas Mariner (the world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship) in 2001. The 700-guest Seven Seas Voyager, the line's second all-suite, all-balcony ship, entered service in April 2003.
In 2006, Radisson Seven Seas Cruises underwent another name change to become Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
During this time, the cruise line was owned by Minneapolis-based Carlson Hospitality Worldwide, one of the travel industry's largest hospitality companies. But in late fall 2007, New York-based Apollo Management, L.P., signed an agreement to acquire Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The deal closed in winter 2008. Regent Seven Seas is anticipated to continue, business as usual, from its Ft. Lauderdale headquarters under the leadership of Mark Conroy, the cruise line's longtime company president.
Changes in Regent Seven Seas Cruises' ownership haven't affected passengers too much. But over the past few years, more significant evolutionary features have indeed taken place. For one, the fleet of four ships has received significant upgrades that include wireless capabilities (and improved computer connections), new bedding featuring down comforters and Egyptian cotton linens, and Regent-branded bathroom amenities. Staterooms also got flat-screen televisions, DVD players and new clocks. Higher-end suites received iPod music systems (with Bose speakers) as well. And cell phone access is now available even at sea.
Editor's Note: Paul Gauguin wound up its long relationship with Regent Seven Seas Cruises in January 2010. The ship continues to sail the South Pacific with newly formed Paul Gauguin Cruises. Read more.
