FORT LAUDERDALE - July 15, 2008 - Regent Seven Seas Cruises will offer a
series of Grand Explorations aboard the world's only all-suite, all-balcony

total of 110 ports of call in 50 countries on six continents, offering the
discerning luxury traveler with an exciting array of fourteen winter voyages
ranging in length from 12 to 24 nights, highlighting the very best
destinations in the Caribbean, South America, the South Pacific, New Zealand
and Australia, South East Asia, Japan, India, the Middle East, North Africa
and the Mediterranean.

"Regent Seven Seas Cruises has garnered a reputation for offering world
travelers the very best choices in exciting itineraries that combine some of
the greatest port cities of the world - such as Hong Kong, Sydney and
Dubai - with some of the most geographically remote and rarely-visited
islands on earth - such as the Marquesas and Pitcairn Island," said Mark
Conroy, president of Regent Seven Seas. "We are proud to offer our guests a
truly remarkable choice of luxury travel experiences aboard our six-star
fleet as we present the most extensive line-up of winter cruises in our
history," he added.

In addition to the exotic itineraries, these Grand Explorations will feature
celebrity guests who will share their personal experiences and unique
perspectives with Regent Seven Seas Cruises guests. Former Florida Governor
and Senator Bob Graham, famed hurricane forecaster and meteorologist Max
Mayfield, former NFL coach Don Shula, and Apollo astronauts Buzz Aldrin and
Al Worden will lecture aboard Seven Seas Mariner. Seven Seas Voyager will
feature humanitarian and Church of England envoy Terry Waite, former United
States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, and Apollo astronauts
Edgar Mitchell, Charles Duke and Gene Cernan. Famed environmentalist and
film producer Jean-Michel Cousteau will also join select cruises of Seven
Seas Mariner to offer his own unique insight regarding the marvels of the
world's oceans.

Complimentary events that provide unique and memorable guest experiences are
offered on each voyage, including exclusive song and dance demonstrations in
