Regent’s president and CEO Jason Montague released a statement before the voyage went on sale on July 14th, saying he’d seen record breaking bookings for world cruises over the past two years.
“We believe our 2024 World Cruise is our most enriching to date, representing the opportunity for uniquely immersive exploration thanks to access to a huge number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and hundreds of free shore excursions,” he said.
While out at sea, travellers will be treated to luxurious amenities, as well as dining and entertainment options onboard the Seven Seas Mariner, which can carry 700 guests and 445 crew members.
The once in a lifetime cruise comes in the wake of the cruising industry taking a severe financial hit during the pandemic, as the company attempts to resume operations.
