Regent Seven Seas
Cruises’ 490-guest
Seven Seas
Navigator debuted in Port Everglades fresh
from a comprehensive, stem-to-stern 50-day
transformation.
Considered one of the most luxurious ships afloat,
the intimate, all-suite vessel sports a
sophisticated new decor, with rich fabrics and
furnishings, much like those found in an elegant
estate home.
“The makeover of
Seven Seas Navigator gives the ship a stunning new
look and feel,” stated
Mark Conroy,
the line’s president.
“Along with the new
Canyon Ranch SpaClub, I’m sure our loyal repeat
guests will love the new dining options, including
La Veranda, Prime 7 and the Patio Grill, as well as
the redecorated main dining room.”
Highlights at a Glance:
- Prime 7 – a new restaurant – features a rich
palette of green and gold, with supple leather
seating, granite and burnished woods. The menu
features prime-aged steaks and chops as well as
poultry and fresh seafood.
- Compass Rose – the ship’s main dining room – has
undergone a dramatic update with new window
treatments, carpets and plush cranberry and camel
armchairs. New signature china, silver and glassware
complete the redesign.
- La Veranda, with both indoor and al fresco
seating, replaced Portofino’s restaurant. New
furniture, carpeting and draperies create an elegant
ambiance. Food stations have been redesigned and
enhanced for guests to enjoy lavish breakfast and
lunch buffets. In the evening diners select from a
menu of regionally themed specialties.
- A new Pool Grill features a hot and cold buffet,
panini sandwich station and coffee and dessert area
in addition to a state-of-the-art barbecue grill.
The Pool Bar, at the other end of the pool deck, was
expanded and enhanced with a new ice cream station,
fully equipped with machines for milkshakes and
frappes.
- Stars Lounge (pictured left) received a masterful
makeover. A ruby-red carpet running the length of
the entryway sets the stage for this glamorous club
with furnishings that exude a classic Hollywood
elegance.
- Galileo’s sports bold new interiors, window
coverings and a sleek new bar area. An outdoor
lounge has been added with stylish sofas and chaises
overlooking the sea.
- Navigator Lounge features rich hues of cappuccino,
camel and navy accented by apple-green. The card
room and library were redecorated and all public
spaces throughout the ship were refreshed.
Canyon Ranch SpaClub
Last, but certainly not least, the former health
club and an observation lounge have been transformed
into the ship’s new Canyon Ranch SpaClub. The serene
and stylish wellness center has body and skin-care,
massage and thalassotherapy treatment rooms,
including a couples’ suite. Added is an aerobics
studio and new gymnasium with cardio and
strength-training machines, both affording
forward-facing, panoramic ocean views. Locker rooms,
including his and hers sauna and steam rooms, have
been updated as has the full-service beauty salon,
which features new wood cabinetry and granite
accents. A juice bar and relaxation lounge are
additional SpaClub amenities.
Seven Seas Navigator will operate seven- to 11-night
cruises to the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America
this winter, followed by a summer series of
seven-night Alaska cruises between Vancouver and
Anchorage. Upon completion of the Alaska season, the
ship embarks on a 96-night Grand Asia Pacific
cruise.
