The Top Five New Ships Of 2023:
Seven Seas Grandeur – After three decades of sailing,
the Regents Seas Cruise has launched their latest ship
called the Grandeur. You can actually be a part of their
inaugural sailing as she crosses the Atlantic Ocean to
spend her winter months in the Caribbean this coming
year. Like her sister ships, the Seven Seas Splendor and
Seven Seas Explorer, this new build will celebrate both
signature features and new elements of her own.
