“We recently recommenced operations with the re-inaugural season of our newest ship, Seven Seas Splendor, and our incredible journey continues with this milestone as we begin construction of Seven Seas Grandeur,” said Montague. “In two years’ time, we will welcome the sixth ship to the world’s most luxurious fleet, which will exemplify our heritage of perfection with unrivalled space, unparalleled service, exceptional cuisine and transformative experiences that will begin the moment you step onboard.”
Seven Seas Grandeur will begin her inaugural season in November 2023, offering 17 voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean and two transatlantic crossings, ranging from seven to 16 nights in length.
