Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) is to offer a 137-night ‘Navigate the World’ voyage onboard the newly refurbished Seven Seas Navigator in 2018.
Departing Los Angeles, US on 8 January 2018 with 490 guests, the 38,528-nautical-mile cruise will take guests to 64 ports of call in 28 countries on five continents before returning to Los Angeles on 25 May.
Destinations will include the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, American Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia destinations like Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. The ship will then cross the Bay of Bengal to call at Richards Bay, Durban, East London and Cape Town in South Africa, before sailing the Atlantic to visit Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, Curacao and Aruba. It will then traverse the Panama Canal to enable guests to explore Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala.
Guests will be able to enjoy several complimentary shore excursions in all 64 ports of call, including an exclusive pre-cruise gala at the Beverly Wilshire hotel in Los Angeles, dinner in the bush at the Zulu Nyala Private Game Reserve in Richards Bay, and a tasting at a local winery in Adelaide, Australia. Other highlights will include a visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, a tastings tour in Cape Town’s Stellenbosch wine district, and a sightseeing tour of temples, dance, cuisine, arts and crafts in Bali.
The itinerary also features calls at 28 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as Sydney Opera House in Australia, the 156-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens, the ruins of León Viejo in Nicaragua and Kinabalu Park in Malaysia.
In addition, guests sailing on the full world cruise will receive complimentary business class flights, visas and additional amenities, including unlimited laundry service, satellite phone time, and on-board medical services.
“The overwhelming response to our 2017 world cruise prompted us to offer another unprecedented global adventure,” said Jason Montague, president and COO of RSSC. “The newly refurbished Seven Seas Navigator is absolutely stunning, and for our 2018 Navigate the World voyage we added more included amenities, making this world cruise the most luxurious and inclusive world cruise available.”
Seven Seas Navigator was the first RSSC ship to be refurbished as part of a US$125 million fleet-wide renovation project.
