Los Modelos de Suites Grandes Constituyen el Alojamiento Más Lujoso en Alta Mar
Ancona, Italy – Perfecting luxury is a never-ending quest for Regent Seven Seas Cruises. At Seven Seas Splendor’s keel laying ceremony today at the Fincantieri shipyard in Ancona, Italy, two extraordinary full-size suite models provided a first look at the ultimate accommodations and attention to detail guests will enjoy when the luxury ship debuts in 2020.
“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,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “In our pursuit to exceed guest expectations, we are creating a work of art, from bow to stern. Wherever you turn on Seven Seas Splendor, you will be surrounded by elegance, comfort and hospitality.”
Luigi Matarazzo, Fincantieri Executive Vice President New Building - Merchant Ships Business Unit, said, “We are satisfied to have the opportunity to partner for the second time with a ship owner like Regent Seven Seas Cruises. It means that we have met all the expectations of a company that has made quality and sophistication the distinguishing features of its business. I am sure that this vessel will represent another success for our shipyard in Ancona, which confirms its mission in the medium-sized luxury ships segment, but also for the Fincantieri Group, a leader in the cruise market.”

Montague and Shipyard Director Giovanni Stecconi commemorated the occasion by placing three coins onto the keel of the ship.
