Interiors of the Seven Seas Cruise
The Seven Seas Cruise makes sure we have all the luxuries within 132 days and it elevates the details, combining exquisite style and comfort with exemplary service, superb cuisine and all-balcony suites.
A cruise with fares starting at just over $73,000 per person completely sold out in less than three hours last week, proving that passengers are desperate to get back to the high seas after the COVID-19 pandemic halted cruising. And strong interest of passengers hopping on the tickets can prove to be a positive sign for the cruise industry as it tries to rebound from the pandemic.
