Quick Answer: Seven Seas Explorer is Regent's flagship — 55,254 GT, 750 guests, launched in 2016. Billed as "the most luxurious ship ever built" at launch, she is all-suite, all-balcony, and fully inclusive (drinks, dining, shore excursions, Wi-Fi). This page covers deck plans, live tracking, dining venues, and videos.

Who She's For: Luxury travelers who want everything included in the fare — no surprise charges for drinks, specialty dining, shore excursions, or gratuities. Explorer suits those who prefer an intimate 750-guest ship with the space ratio and finish of a boutique hotel.

Seven Seas Explorer tends to suit experienced cruisers who have outgrown premium lines and want no-decision-required luxury. The all-inclusive fare means you never sign a check onboard — specialty restaurants, premium spirits, curated shore excursions, and Wi-Fi are all included. At 750 guests with 552 crew, the service ratio is among the best in the industry. If you want even smaller ships, Seven Seas Navigator (490 guests) or Seabourn's fleet offers more intimacy. If all-inclusive matters less than price, Oceania provides a similar culinary focus at a lower fare with fewer inclusions.
