Seven Seas Explorer: The World’s Most Luxurious Ship
1. Suites as Standard, Grandeur as Default
From entry-level suites to the palatial Regent Suite (with its own Steinway piano and in-room spa), Explorer delivers 100% suite accommodations, each with a private balcony. Guests never compromise on space or views—luxury is universal here.
2. Artistry at Sea
More than 2,500 artworks, including pieces by Picasso and Chagall, line the corridors. Regent has turned Explorer into a seaborne gallery, where walking to dinner feels like entering an exhibition.
3. Inclusive Indulgence
As always with Regent, everything is folded in—unlimited excursions, fine wines, premium spirits, specialty dining, gratuities, Wi-Fi. Explorer’s ethos: once aboard, the wallet disappears.
4. Dining as Theatre
Explorer’s culinary stage is unmatched:
5. Service with Intuition
Reviews consistently note Regent’s signature: staff who anticipate before you ask. Glasses refilled, suites refreshed, excursions tailored—all with the quiet confidence of butlers who know the rhythm of their guests.
Internally Heard — Guest Chatter
From luxury travelers and reviewers alike:
“Every night felt like dining in a Michelin restaurant, but with the ease of home.”
“The ship exudes glamour without ever feeling gaudy—service is attentive but never obtrusive.”
The message is consistent: Explorer is about freedom through inclusion, not limits by exception.
Quick Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| 100% suite, all-balcony accommodations | Premium pricing reflects luxury inclusions |
| Extraordinary dining variety & quality | Limited onboard nightlife compared to larger ships |
| Unlimited excursions + all-inclusive model | Appeals primarily to luxury-focused travelers |
| Museum-quality art collection, refined ambience | May feel overly quiet for younger, high-energy cruisers |
Final Take
The Seven Seas Explorer earns its title as “the most luxurious ship ever built” not because it dazzles with gimmicks, but because it redefines the baseline of comfort and indulgence. For Cruise 9’s hand-picked spotlight, she represents the pinnacle of Regent’s ethos: an all-inclusive, suite-only, culture-rich voyage where luxury is not added—it’s assumed.
In short: If your idea of indulgence is art, quiet glamour, and freedom from the word “extra,” Explorer is your Regent at sea.
An Anecdote by Charlotte West
“I still remember the hushed anticipation as I stepped aboard the Seven Seas Explorer. The atrium shimmered with marble and art, yet somehow felt like a living room prepared just for me. A steward handed me a glass of chilled champagne, and I noticed — almost amused — that my luggage had already found its way to my suite before I had even finished the first sip.
My suite was a sanctuary: a balcony dressed in sea breeze, a bed that seemed to exhale comfort, and details so intuitive they almost whispered: “We’ve thought of everything.” One evening, as the sun set over the Southeast Asian Coast, I dined at Chartreuse. The foie gras arrived with a flourish, the sommelier poured with reverence, and for a fleeting second, I felt not like a passenger but like an old friend returning home.
Later, wandering past Picasso and Chagall, I paused at the piano lounge. A gentle melody curled through the air, the kind that stirs memories you didn’t know you had. A fellow guest leaned over and said, “Isn’t it remarkable? Every corner of this ship feels like a story waiting to be told.” I just smiled — because in that moment, I knew I was living one.”
