Seven Seas Navigator has the most unusual origin in the luxury fleet: her hull began life as a Soviet research vessel and was completed as a cruise ship in 1999.
Because the superstructure was designed from scratch on an existing hull, her standard suites are among the largest in the segment for the tonnage.
At 490 guests she reaches ports closed to the flagships, and is Regent's regular choice for the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Canada and New England season.
Dining covers Compass Rose, Prime 7 and Sette Mari, with the same no-cover-charge policy as the rest of the fleet.
Highlights

Oversized standard suites
