Explorer down under

REGENT Seven Seas Cruises will debut its Seven Seas Explorer ( pictured) in Australian and New Zealand waters from Nov 2020 as part of its newly released 2020/21 series of itineraries.

Seven Seas Explorer will offer nine different itineraries for Australian and New Zealand passengers, including an 18-night Singapore to Sydney “Balinese Celebration” cruise, plus a 14-night Sydney to Auckland “Majesty of Milford” cruise.

Explorer will offer one itinerary less in 2020/21 than the five journeys scheduled in Australia for Voyager and Navigator in 2019/20.

After completing her Australian season, Explorer will head to Asia and Europe, with new ports of call including La Rochelle, France; Stornoway (Hebrides), Scotland; Porto Empedocle and Porto Torres, Italy; and Cabo Frio, Brazil.

Jason Montague, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ president and chief executive officer, said the new itineraries were about “destinations and explorations that excite and inspire”.

“The best luxury voyages pair magnificent, intimate ships and gracious onboard hospitality with remarkable destinations and local immersive activities,” he added.

The new collection, which includes 167 voyages across 11 ports on board five ships, will also offer additional free pre- and post-cruise land tour options.
