Regent Seven Seas Adds New Fashion Program
Published on: May 22, 2007
Regent Seven Seas Cruises will offer guests the opportunity to explore fashion and enhance their personal style in Barcelona with a new Circle of Interest, called "Fashion Savvy or Fashion Faux Pas," during two Mediterranean sailings this fall. Passengers on the 700-guest Seven Seas Voyager can participate in fashion-oriented onboard and on-shore activities led by featured host Marta Wendlinger this September. Wendlinger, a long-time Barcelona resident, is founder of One2One Fashion, a fashion consulting and personal shopping business, and has organized runway shows and events for a fashion school in Spain. She has been featured on television and radio programs throughout Spain and writes columns for Spanish newspapers and fashion magazines.
Titled after her column, Wendlinger's program will begin with a private welcome cocktail party for participants. Onboard, each guest will meet with Wendlinger for a two-hour, one-on-one wardrobe assessment, color consultancy evaluation and body shape analysis to assess flattering attire. The program also includes a private onboard lecture, "How to Find Your Best Style" and other exclusive activities. Upon arrival in Barcelona, Circle guests will join Wendlinger for visits to her favorite designer boutiques. They will also shop under her guidance, followed by a sight-seeing stroll through the city.
Circles of Interest are themed enrichment programs combining onboard and on-shore experiences and offering guests the opportunity to discover a destination through a lens of particular interest, with the insights of an expert guest host and the camaraderie of a smaller community of guests who share similar interests. Other Circle themes include Art & Culture, Food & Wine and the Environment & Marine Life. The Style Circle of Interest will be offered on Seven Seas Voyager's 10-night sailing departing from Dover on Sept. 12, and an eight-night cruise departing Monte Carlo on Nov. 3. Depending on the sail date, the cruises feature calls to Barcelona, St. Malo, Bordeaux, Bilbao, Lisbon, Cadiz, Casablanca, Malaga, Lanzarote (Canary Islands) and Funchal (Madeira), among other ports. The cost of the Style Circle of Interest is $250 per person. For more information, call 800-300-4567 or visit www.all-travel.com

Published on: May 2, 2007 Modern Agent
Regent Seven Seas Cruises' 330-guest Paul Gauguin is celebrating 10 years of operating year-round in Tahiti and French Polynesia. The ship has carried more than 100,000 passengers to these islands. A selection of 43 voyages in 2008 includes itineraries from seven to 11 nights calling on the Society and Tuamotu Islands, as well as longer voyages to the Marquesas, Cook and Austral islands. In response to increased demand from guests, Regent Seven Seas' 2008 program features a greater number of shorter, seven-night cruises than in recent years. Guests aboard the Paul Gauguin can extend their vacation with seven pre- and post-cruise land programs in Tahiti in 2008.
In addition to the established programs offered on Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea, two new properties are offered: Le Taha'a Private Island and Spa; and the Moorea Pearl Resort and Spa. Special extensions are also offered to Australia and New Zealand in conjunction with select departures. Through an exclusive partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau and his conservation organization, Ocean Futures Society, young guests and their parents may participate in "Ambassadors of the Environment" Circles of Interest aboard 12 sailings in 2008.
Jean-Michel Cousteau will sail aboard the 14-night Cook, Austral, Tuamotu and Society islands voyage departing Sept. 27, 2008. Regent President Mark Conroy will sail on a 14-night Marquesas, Tuamotu and Society Islands cruise departing from Papeete on Jan. 5, 2008. Paul Gauguin's 2008 voyages start at $2,195 for seven-night roundtrips from Papeete, Tahiti. Cruise fares include all shipboard gratuities; complimentary beverages, including select wines and spirits served throughout the ship; complimentary 24-hour room service; refrigerator stocked with soft drinks, beer and bottled water replenished daily; and an in-suite bar setup in butler suites. Many sailings also offer a "third guest sails free" option, available in select staterooms. For more information, call 800-300-4567 or visit www.regent-seven-seas-cruises-discount.com
