| Seven Seas Voyager was the second all-suite, all-balcony cruise ship in the world (after her sister ship, the Seven Seas Mariner). Like her sister ship, she also features a restaurant operated by Le Cordon Bleu of Paris. With four main dining rooms that all have an open-seating setup, the luxurious Seven Seas Voyager offers a casual (yet upscale) atmosphere. Gratuities, soft drinks, hot beverages and most alcoholic beverages are included in the cruise fare, so that in combination with Regent's very casual onboard atmosphere creates an almost carefree luxury cruising product. If you're looking for an award-winning cruise line with destination-rich itineraries, fabulous service, luxurious accommodations and gourmet cuisine, then a Regent Seven Seas cruise is an excellent option for your next vacation. Seven Seas Voyager is the younger sister ship of the Seven Seas Mariner. In 2009, both ships received a thorough $40 million refurbishment. Among the upgrades received by both ships during this process was the addition of Prime 7 (a contemporary American steakhouse), re-designed lounges, an extended coffee and snack bar area (only on Seven Seas Voyager, since Seven Seas Mariner already has Coffee Connection) and updates to the spa and fitness center. Other upgrades done include the replacing of upholstery, carpeting, wallpaper, light fixtures and drapes in most suites, as well as new furniture and carpeting in many public areas |
