The first cruise ship for Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Trieste, 21 January 2015 – The keel laying ceremony was held today at the Sestri Ponente (Genoa) shipyard for the “Seven Seas Explorer", the first super luxury cruise ship that Fincantieri is building for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, brand of the Prestige Cruise Holdings group. The delivery is scheduled for summer 2016.
The ceremony was attended, among others, by Jason Montague, President and CEO of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, while Fincantieri was represented by Raffaele Davassi, the Sestri yard manager. The block has been blessed in dry dock by His Eminence Most Reverend Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco.
With its 56,000 gross tonnes and 223 metres in length, "Seven Seas Explorer" will be the flagship of the fleet, with accommodation for 750 passengers.
The new ship will be built using the very latest in environmental protection technologies. The interiors will be particularly sophisticated, with every attention paid to passenger comfort.
In the recent past, the Sestri Ponente Shipyard has delivered two extra-luxury units for Oceania Cruises, brand of the Prestige Cruise Holdings: “Oceania Marina” built in 2011 and “Oceania Riviera” in 2012. Both ships are 66,000 gross tonnes, 238 meters long, 32 wide, with 11 passenger decks.
