Similar to its sister ship ‘Seven Seas Explorer’, Seven Seas Splendor will be designed to have a 55,000t capacity and carry 750 passengers.
Seven Seas Explorer was delivered by Fincantieri at its shipyard in Sestri Ponente, Genova, Italy, in 2016.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises president and CEO Jason Montague said: “Seven Seas Explorer has earned remarkable acclaim since debuting in 2016 as the most luxurious ship ever built.
“Now, her sister Seven Seas Splendor builds upon the success of that lauded ship as it strives to perfect uncompromised luxury on the seas.
