Regent's President Mark Conroy was speaking at the Ensemble Travel Group Conference on the 20th October and announced that the cruise line is currently in the "talks" stage with a European ship yard regarding the building of a new ship for them and that if they do decide to place the order we can expect the new addition sometime in 2014.
The vessel would be similar in size to Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ three current ships, which will be approximately 50,000 gross tonns and carry 700 passengers onboard and take on all of its 6* signature luxury. This new addition, should it happen, will be the first since 2003 when the Voyager was launched. This is rather surprising to me since the sister cruise line Oceania has had the Mariner and the anticipated launch of the Riviera next spring.
Apparently 2010 and 2011 have been the BEST YEARS EVER for Regent Seven Seas which is great news in such hard economic times at the moment. I am certainly a huge fan of Regent and their "It's All Included" policy, they are a 6* cruise line that everybody should try at least once!
