The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, as Regent Seven Seas likes to call its fleet of five vessels, will all return to sailing by February 2022. The cruise line has released details on how it plans to start its operations in a staggered manner.
Seven Seas Splendor will be the first vessel to start operations in September of this year. Seven Seas Voyager will return on February 15, 2022, just in time for the cruise line’s 30th-anniversary celebrations. As part of the comeback, 17 new voyages in Europe and the Caribbean have been scheduled for Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Voyager.
Staggered Return Will Enable a Luxury Experience
The staggered return to cruising will enable Regent Seven Seas to offer guests the experiences onboard which they are used to from the ultra-luxury operator. It will also allow the cruise line to build up resources like crew and provisions slowly and carefully while bringing vessels out of layup.
Jason Montague, president and CEO, Regent Seven Seas Cruises:
“We thought carefully about how, when, and where reuniting the entire Regent family would enable us to consistently deliver an unrivaled experience with every luxury included, as well as provide exceptional destination explorations. We are incredibly excited that all five of our ships will be back on the ocean by early 2022, the year of our 30th anniversary. The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet is ready to return, and our crew will be there eagerly waiting to welcome all our guests back onboard once again.”
Although overall it is excellent news that the cruise line has now detailed its plans to return to sailing, it also means that several cruises have been impacted and will necessarily be canceled.

The cruise line has canceled all sailings up to each ships’ respective restart date. Guests with impacted bookings will be contacted directly or via their Travel Advisor.
Jason Montague:
“We truly sympathize with those guests who have had their much anticipated and deserved cruise experience canceled. We do hope however that travelers impacted by these changes can find a new reason to sail with us on our newly created cruises in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.”
