Monte Carlo-The most glamorous city in the world was the appropriate venue for christening the Regent Seven Seas Explorer, the most luxurious ship ever built. Hundreds of cruise executives,travel partners, press and distinguished guests gathered under a perfect blue sky for this gala black tie event that was streamed live all over the world. As a prelude to the ceremony, images of the ship’s construction and the ports she will visit were projected on a huge screen. …
Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer-Brigitte Bardot (and her bikini) made St. Tropez famous, and all manner of celebrities and movie people followed. Today, it’s still a hot spot on the French Riviera, and a popular port on many Mediterranean cruises. As this is the last day of the Regent Explorer’s pre-inaugural cruise, I took a tour that started at Port Grimaud, Provence’s version of Venice. This little town has a fulltime population of just 80 people, …

Aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer-After a quick tour of Barcelona, including a stop at Gaudi’s iconic Sagrada Familia, I boarded the brand new Regent Seven Seas Explorer for a brief shakeout cruise (that means not everything will be perfect) that will sail to Monaco for the ship’s christening. (For the maiden voyage that sails on July 20, everything is expected to be perfect.) As the Explorer has been described at the most luxurious ship ever built, …
On July 7th, 2016, I’ll be boarding Regent’s brand-new Seven Seas Explorer in Barcelona for an exciting cruise that will end on July 13th in Monaco, where the ship will be christened, with H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco serving as godmother. Jason Montague, president and COO, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, has said: “It’s fitting to have the world’s most luxurious ship, Seven Seas Explorer, christened in one of the most glamorous cities in the world by H.S.H. …
