Regent Seven Seas Cruises has achieved the largest booking day in its history with the launch of its 2023/24 programme.

Bookings surpassed the line’s previous largest booking day – which was set on 21 October 2020 with the launch of its 2022/2023 Voyage Collection – by 15 per cent.

Regent said that trends show a “desire for longer and more exclusive experiences in bucket-list destinations”, and reported a “significant rise” in bookings of the $11,000-a-night Regent Suite.

The 2023/2024 programme includes 15 maiden ports of call and four Grand Voyages across 139 itineraries, with sailings ranging from seven nights up to a 132-night world cruise.

The latest record-breaking launch day is the line’s fourth in just under a year, having broken the world cruise launch day twice, and now also their largest-ever booking day twice.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises president and CEO Jason Montague said: “The outstanding result of our 2023-2024 Voyage Collection launch is the perfect springboard as we welcome our first ship back to the ocean next month with the inaugural season of Seven Seas Splendor.

“I’m proud to say that this is our fourth record-breaking launch day within a year, reinforcing the fact that luxury travellers continue to have a burning passion to explore the world and that Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ unrivalled experiences are extremely important to them.

“It also shows how our loyal guests have throughout this challenging period continued to give us their unwavering support, and we are delighted to be able to offer them the luxury vacations they so richly deserve.

“With a rich and varied selection of luxury cruises on offer, combined with personalised service from a warm and friendly crew, plus the peace of mind of our multi-layered SailSAFE health and safety programme, it’s little wonder that guests continue to return to Regent time and again.”
