Regent Seven Seas to Celebrate European Music, Cuisine

Regent Seven Seas Cruises will offer an extended celebration of the food, wine and music during a 28-night “Autumn Sojourn in The Mediterranean” voyage aboard the 700-guest Seven Seas Voyager.

Sailing from Istanbul on October 18, the ship will journey across the Mediterranean, across the French and Italian Rivieras and Cote d’Azur to the Greek Isles. The voyage is available as a single journey or in three individual segments.

Each segment is its own special event combining classical music and gourmet cuisine, highlighted by special guests, exclusive concerts and museum tours. Guests will even have opportunities to purchase euros at a 1:1 exchange rate against the U.S. dollar.

The “Executive Vice President’s Cruise” operates October 18-25 from Istanbul to Piraeus. Kenneth Watson, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Regent Seven Seas, will host the Greek Isles journey that begins with an overnight in Istanbul and proceeds to Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Nafplion in Greece and Kusadasi, Turkey.

The “Three Song of Flower Captains’ Cruise,” from Piraeus to Monte Carlo, Oct. 25-Nov. 5, features Regent Seven Seas Captains Dag Dvergastein, Knut Hanssen and Jarle Jensen. All three were previous masters of the Song of Flower, once part of the fleet of Regent Seven Seas predecessor Radisson Seven Seas Cruises.

This voyage will call at Kusadasi and Marmaris in Turkey; Iraklion, Greece; Valletta, Malta; Ajaccio, Corsica; and Naxos, Sorrento, Civitavecchia and Livorno in Italy. The three captains will host events for guests and will be joined by former Song of Flower staff members including cruise director J.J., shore excursion manager Helen Harrison and maitre d’hotel Patrick Lescoute.

The President’s Cruise, featuring Regent Seven Seas President Mark Conroy, will operate Nov. 5-15 from Monte Carlo to Civitavecchia. The cruise will travel to Portofino and Livorno, Italy; Marseille, France; Barcelona, Valencia, Palma de Majorca and Menorca, Spain; and Ajaccio, Corsica.
