Inspired by the past and stunningly reimagined for the future, Seven Seas Grandeur will exemplify our heritage of perfection with unrivalled space, unparalleled service, exceptional cuisine and transformative experiences that will begin the moment you step aboard.  It is to be constructed by Fincantieri and is to be the newest of the RSSC’s EXPLORER-class. Others in the Eploter class are sisterships Seven Seas Explorer (2016) and Seven Seas Splendor (2021). It is expected to have 375 suites, some with saunas.

Regent  Cruising, trading as Regent Seven Seas was acquired by NCL who also acquired Oceana at a cost totalling $3 billion.

Seven Seas Grandeur’s inaugural cruise will be the crossing from Barcelona to Miami, which will be an excellent time to experience the ship.

Reservations for this ship’s first season open on 22 September

Cruise crime novels are a whole new experience. You may not have been to the ports in the novels, you certainly won’t have been to the parts of the ship they use. All the cruise crime novels will make you feel like you are in the adventure and on the ship – dodge the bullets and stay out of the romance. Ship and cruise accurate, the novels are a great way for new cruisers to discover a ship too. Please share the Amazon link with other cruisers.

Our list of the Regent Seven Seas ships and the chat site can be found on our fleet page.

Blood Diamonds is out at the end of 2021. It is a full-on action crime mystery and a romance that you will not be expecting. Blood Diamonds sees the end of CSCI in that Ship is dropped from the agency title. It is the start of the shorter name for the agency, CCI CRUISE CRIME INVESTIGATORS. For those following the cruise novels, expect change.
