MIAMI — At long last Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ new ship, scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2020, has its new name: Seven Seas Splendor.

The cruise line is positioning its second Explorer-class ship as the most luxurious ship ever built, in keeping with sister-ship Seven Seas Explorer, launched in 2016.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises President and CEO Jason Montague said the “extraordinary demand” for Seven Seas Explorer reinforced the company’s decision to expand its fleet.

As part of the naming process, Regent Seven Seas Cruises sought suggestions from travel agents, guests and employees for the ship’s name in a sweepstakes held in September. Seven Seas Splendor was chosen among nearly 2,600 unique names from more than 14,000 submissions.

The new all-suite, all-balcony ship will have a gross tonnage of 55,254 and capacity of 750 guests. Montague says agents should stay tuned for more details about Seven Seas Splendor and its inaugural season.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises is currently undergoing a $125 million fleet-wide refurbishment.
