44 Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Andrea DeMarco tells Rebecca Barnes about the brand’s new partnerships and plans to expand its high-end fleet Today it’s no longer enough to offer the cruising experience alone. Cruise lines must now secure relationships with brands that align with their service levels to elevate both their onboard and onshore product offering and keep both new and loyal passengers engaged. This has been one of the key priorities for Andrea DeMarco, president of leading ultra-luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises, and her team since she was appointed to the role in 2022. “I’m immensely proud of our achievements over the past 18 months,” says DeMarco. “Leading our outstanding team during such a transformative time has been both rewarding and exhilarating for me.” One of the most significant milestones was the introduction of Seven Seas Grandeur in November 2023. The brand has seen a flurry of bookings for its sixth vessel. “The high demand for voyages on our newest ship underscores our guests’ desire to explore the world with the unparalleled comfort and elegance that Regent offers,” says DeMarco. Sister ship to Seven Seas Splendor, the 744-capacity Seven Seas Grandeur enhances the unrivalled experience that guests have come to expect from Regent, says DeMarco. Once onboard, they can relax in an abundance of space, all-inclusive luxury and 15 all-suite accommodation categories, from the opulent Regent Suite to the timeless “ Seven Seas Prestige, debuting in 2026, will be part of our first new ship class in 10 years” FEATURED INTERVIEW Luxury by design
