Public Areas & Facilities

The world's second all-balcony, all-suite ship continues the Regent Seven Seas tradition of offering posh accommodations on a vessel with generous space for every passenger.

Lounges are predominantly decorated in soothing neutrals and cool marine blues with splashes of color, soft leather, and glass-and-marble accents. Even areas that can accommodate all (or nearly all) passengers at once, including the formal dining room and show lounge, appear intimate; good design elements don't hint at their size and indoor spaces seem smaller than they actually are. With so much room, public areas are seldom crowded, and you won't have to hunt for a deck chair by the swimming pool.

The two-tiered Constellation Theater is a state-of-the-art show room with a full-size proscenium stage, where Broadway-inspired shows created by renowned producer Peter Grey Terhune are staged.

Restaurants

Four restaurants function on an open-seating basis. In addition to Compass Rose, the main dining room, choices include Signatures, Le Cordon Bleu restaurant, and Latitudes, which features Pan-Asian cuisine prepared in an open galley (reservations required); and La Veranda, the daytime buffet, which is a Mediterranean bistro by night.

What Works & What Doesn't

In a successful, if somewhat unorthodox, blending of indoor and outdoor spaces, Horizon Lounge treats passengers to a variety of diversions, from afternoon tea to a piano duet at night followed by dancing, either inside or just outside under the stars. With private balconies for all and a 360-degree jogging track encircling the deck above the pool, there's no real necessity for a lengthy promenade deck, and most passengers probably won't miss it.

Accommodations

Layout: Rich-textured fabrics and warm-wood finishes add a touch of coziness to the larger-than-usual suite accommodations in all categories. Every suite has a vanity-desk, walk-in closet, and sitting area with sofa, chairs, and table. Marble bathrooms have a separate tub and shower. Most balconies are approximately 50 square feet in size.

Amenities: All suites have an entertainment center with CD/DVD player, stocked refrigerator, stocked bar, personal safe, hair dryer, and fine linens and duvets on the bed. Bathrooms have robes for use during the cruise and toiletries including shampoo, lotion, and bath gel.

Top-Category Suites: The top three suite categories feature Bose Wave Music Systems. Butler service is available for passengers in Master, Grand, Navigator, and Penthouse Suites. The top-category Master Suites have a separate sitting-dining room, two bedrooms (each has its own TV), a powder room as well as two full bathrooms (the master bath has dual vanities, a bidet, separate shower, and whirlpool tub). Some of the other high-end suites do not have the powder room or whirlpool tubs.

Good to Know: Four suites are designed for wheelchair accessibility and are equipped with showers only.

Category	Size (square feet)
Master Suite	1,152-1,216
Grand Suite	753
Seven Seas Suite	441-495
Penthouse Suite	320
Deluxe Suite	306

Favorites

Best Splurge: Shopping in the well-stocked boutiques is always a pleasure.

Best Added Value: The self-service passenger launderettes with ironing stations on every accommodations deck are complimentary. Plan carefully, or you may have a slight wait because they get a lot of use.

Our Favorite Spot for a Nightcap: Every suite has a balcony, and there's no better spot for sharing quiet conversation and a libation from your stocked bar before retiring.

Best Suite Locations: The dimensions of the upper-category suites can vary depending on where they are on the ship. Seven Seas Suites located aft are larger than those located mid-ship and have enormous balconies that measure 215 square feet. Also facing aft, Horizon View suites are simply standard Deluxe Suites, but with balconies that range in size from 105 to 180 square feet, depending on deck location.
