The event was attended by Regent’s senior director of sales EMEA Gabriella Fonzo, who thanked ship building firm Fincantieri for their partnership and collaboration.

Now afloat in Ancona, final-stage construction on Regent’s sixth vessel will focus on its suites, lounges and restaurants.

Grandeur will debut in November, sailing 18 voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, as well as two transatlantic crossings, all ranging from seven to 16 nights in duration.

The inaugural voyage collection includes a new maiden sailing – added due to strong demand – which spends seven nights in the Adriatic and Western Mediterranean sailing from Venice to Barcelona.

"While our new ships are always highly anticipated, Seven Seas Grandeur has proven to be so popular, we had to create an additional sailing for her inaugural season," said Andrea DeMarco, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
