Radisson Seven Seas Cruises’ metamorphosis from a two-ship fleet consisting of Radisson Diamond and Song of Flower began with the delivery of the Paul Gauguin in December 1997 and continues with the maiden voyage of Seven Seas Navigator in Nice on 7th September. In 2001 Seven Seas Mariner will follow to take the fleet up to 5 ships, while yet another will be announced shortly. All the ships in the current fleet have their own very individual style and all have in common an exceptionally high level of service with excellent attention to detail. All accommodation is sea-view, with open dinning, in a choice of two restaurants. The itineraries are port-intensive, calling at an amazing variety of secluded and unspoilt destinations, not accessible by larger, more conventional vessels.

Seven Seas Navigator, is Italian built. She is an all-suite, all-ocean-view ship accommodating 490 guests, with ninety percent of suites having their own balcony. Her smallest suite is 301 square feet, the largest at 1,173 square feet. All categories of suite feature a king size convertible bed, walk in wardrobe, full sized marble bath and separate shower, VCR, hairdryer, stocked bar and refrigerator. The top suites also offer butler service.

The Paul Gauguin is based in French Polynesia, operating seven-day cruises, sailing around the romantic islands, departing from Tahiti every Saturday. This deluxe vessel features 160 ocean-view staterooms and suites, fifty percent with balconies, a retractable marina with a full water sports programme and cuisine inspired by Michelin two-starred chef, Jean Paul Vigato.

The unique twin-hulled Radisson Diamond spends the winter in the Caribbean, Costa Rica and the Panama Canal, and summer in the Mediterranean and Baltic. Her exceptional stability as a result of her design is unrivalled. All the cabins have sea-views, many with verandahs, and the stunning dining room is regarded as one of the finest on board any ship.

The yatch-like Song of Flower carries just 180-guests and therefore with her unpretentious style offers a special ambience. She is fully inclusive of flights, transfers, mini-bar, bar service, wine with meals and shore excursions during the winter months.

The Seven Seas Mariner is currently under construction in France, with the anticipated delivery February 2001. She will be the worlds first all-suite all-balcony vessel, carrying 720-guests at full capacity to a range of destinations as diverse as the rest of the Radisson Seven Seas Cruises fleet.

On all ships spa, beauty salon, shops, photographs and casino are charged to guests’ on board account.

In keeping with the cruise lines’ target of adding to its fleet one new ship every year for the next five years, plans are in motion to build a sixth ship, which will be announced shortly.
