M/S Seven Seas Mariner
The Mariner will cater to only 700 guests, giving her more space per guest than any cruise ship in the world. She offers the luxury of single, open-seating dining in four distinctive restaurants featuring the finest cuisine afloat. In fact, chefs of the famed Cordon Bleu of Paris, the most prestigious culinary authority in the world, will assist in the direction of one of the Mariner's restaurants. And in the six-star tradition of Regent Seven Seas, the Mariner will provide the highest level of personal service, with a staff to guest ratio of 1:1.6.
Complimentary pouring wines at dinner, complimentary in-suite bar set-up and a no-tipping policy are just a few of the inclusive Regent Seven Seas Cruises features which will further differentiate the Mariner from the usual cruise offerings. A sparkling entertainment program with celebrity guest appearances, a computer equipped Internet Café, bridge instruction, dance hosts, a state-of-the-art Judith Jackson Spa and an exclusive new Cordon Bleu Classe Culinaire workshop at sea provide an extraordinary breadth of activities and entertainments for guests. And in port, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' talent for providing outstanding destination experiences - coupled with an extensive on-board lecture and enrichment program, will continue to attract and satisfy the most discriminating and widely-traveled guests.
The Mariner's inaugural season will take her to Bermuda, the Caribbean and the Panama Canal before beginning a northward journey to Vancouver and Alaska, where she'll spend the summer months exploring Alaska's breathtaking coastal wilderness. For those who enjoy world cruising and long voyages, the Mariner will offer an opportunity to step up to an unprecedented degree of luxury and personal service never before available on a ship of this range. Those who have cruised on more intimate ships will be delighted to discover that the Mariner preserves the personal touch while offering a wider variety of facilities, activities and cruising range than is available aboard smaller ships. Discriminating travelers, no matter what their needs, will find that the luxurious Seven Seas Mariner will satisfy their most demanding requirements. The all-suite, all-balconied Mariner signals a new Age of Enlightenment in cruising, and the only class is Superb! 
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is proud to introduce the world's first all-suite, all-balconied ship, the m/s Seven Seas Mariner. For the first time on any ship, every single guest will be treated to an unprecedented level of expansive personal luxury.
The adjoining Fitness Center features all the latest gym equipment with treadmills, rowers, cycles, free weights and weight machines. There's also a separate aerobics room, and the spectacular views through the floor-to-ceiling windows are as invigorating as any workout.
A jogging track and sports deck with golf cages and paddle tennis provide outdoor exercise options. The previously mentioned swimming pool area, surrounded by three whirlpools and broad teak decks, is the perfect place to cool off after your workout, socialize with friends or simply relax in a deck chair and catch up on your reading.
A card room, a conference room, and a well-stocked library with an excellent selection of best-selling books and videos, magazines, art books, field guides and reference works are available for guests 24 hours a day. And every afternoon, be sure to drop by the Observation Lounge, high above the ship, where you can take High Tea with scrumptious fresh-baked scones and clotted cream, or just take in the eye-filling wrap-around views.
Let yourself imagine, for a moment, what a typical evening might bring aboard the Mariner. In the Constellation Theater, you are swept up in a dazzling presentation of musical theatrics that takes you for a rollercoaster ride through Broadway, Big Band and contemporary hits, ranging from the nostalgia of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, Duke Ellington and Richard Rogers to today's electric, eclectic music makers.
The Casino offers a wide choice of games of chance, ranging from slots and video poker to roulette, craps and blackjack. In the Stars Nightclub, a chanteuse sings of love lost and found. A band plays a medley of your favorite dance tunes and couples sway to "Embraceable You." If you are partnerless, one of our gentleman hosts will be honored to spin you around the dance floor. Up on the pool deck, another lively band has inspired an impromptu jitterbug contest - with some of the younger guests substituting a few hip-hop moves.
The Connoisseur Club might be your final destination tonight, or it could be the first. In an atmosphere reminiscent of a venerable London Club, expansive leather armchairs invite you to relax, savor a martini or brandy and the quiet enjoyment that good company among friends brings. Cigar aficionados can check the climate-controlled humidors to purchase their special smoke.
Not all of our entertainment takes place at night. Many repeat guests tell us that their favorite "show" on a voyage aboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises is our guest lecturer program. For those who seek a greater understanding of the world, our guest lecturers add immeasurably to the cruise experience. Each cruise offers at least one, and sometimes several lecturers. You may meet with former diplomats, historians, anthropologists or naturalists chosen for their expertise in the areas your ship visits. Lecturers brief our guests before each port and on certain occasions will lead special shore excursions. Aboard the Mariner, we will also feature appearances by eminent celebrity guests - accomplished writers, musical artists and lifestyle exemplars whose special insights will be of interest to our guests. With thought-provoking events such as these, it is our hope that your voyage on the Seven Seas Mariner will rise beyond mere cruising to reveal a newly fascinating and enlightening view of the people and places of this earth.
Guests on the Seven Seas Navigator, the Mariner's predecessor, have consistently lauded our exclusive Judith Jackson Spa as one of their favorite spas on land or sea. We are happy to continue that tradition on the Mariner. Under the gentle skilled hands of specially trained Judith Jackson therapists, you'll find relief from everyday aches and pains, while equally talented beauty technicians smooth away cares and unwanted wrinkles. Thalassotherapy, aromatherapy, massage, steam room and sauna facilities as well as a full range of beauty and grooming services are just a few of the treatments offered amid the most soothing surroundings imaginable.
With a full crew complement of 445, the m/s Seven Seas Mariner boasts a ratio of 1 crew member to every 1.6 guests, offering an extremely high level of personalized, attentive service. Our European officers provide the highest standards of marine experience while our Hotel staff caters to your needs 24 hours a day.
They say variety is the spice of life. Surely, this proverb applies first and foremost to food! On some ships, guests go to the same dining room night after night, where they share the same table mates and eat at a set hour, sometimes under very rushed conditions. Happily, you'll never find such a meal on the Mariner. Because we've created four distinguished restaurants for our guests' enjoyment. And each is a gem of unique character and brilliance.
The Compass Rose is the Mariner's largest and most elegant restaurant. At tables gleaming with polished silver and fine china, guests dine on an ever-changing potpourri of selections ranging from the latest fusion creations and exotic taste combinations to traditional favorites such as prime rib or lobster, selections for the health conscious and more simply prepared fare for times when overworked taste buds need a respite.
At Latitudes, our smallest restaurant, we've given our chef plenty of latitude for creativity. This reservations-only hideaway features special cosmopolitan cuisine in an intimate setting. Here you'll find tableside preparation of showcase selections from all over the world, plus caviar tastings and other unique culinary events.
La Veranda's wonderfully evocative Mediterranean fare will remind you of a tempting little bistro in Provence or an inviting family-run trattoria in Parma. Think of aioli, fresh garlic dancing in sizzling olive oil and seafood so fresh you'd think they'd just hauled the catch over the stern. The atmosphere is casually elegant, and the cuisine is prepared with lavish loving care. During the day, La Veranda also serves buffet breakfasts and luncheon.
Signatures is the only restaurant at sea to be created and operated by chefs wearing the white toque and blue riband of the Cordon Bleu of Paris, the most prestigious culinary authority in the world. The ambience is classically and elegantly French, of course, and the treasured cooking techniques are those handed down by generations of Cordon Bleu chefs, but the cuisine is far from traditional - a marvelous mixture of culinary delights as inventive and eclectic as tomorrow.
It is almost axiomatic that a ship of the caliber of the Mariner would offer outstanding dining. After all, superb cuisine has been a hallmark of the Regent Seven Seas fleet since its founding. More unusual on the Mariner is the number of different dining venues available to our guests - there are four separate restaurants (including our exclusive Cordon Bleu Restaurant - Signatures) plus a poolside grill bar, making the choice of each night's dining destination a most pleasant quandary. But what is notably unique on the Mariner is the fact that it is the largest ship afloat to offer single open-seating dining in every one of her four restaurants. Which means our guests may sit with whomever they please, and they may dine whenever and wherever they wish, even in their suite, where selections from the ship's main restaurant can be ordered during dining hours and a 24-hour room service menu is also available.
