The Newest Cruise Ships Making Waves in 2024

This year, the cruise industry is boasting all things bigger and better than ever. Travelers can expect a host of redesigned and re-imagined restaurants, lounges, spa spaces, and suites.

Cruising is a magical way to see the world, either solo, as a couple, or it's one of the easiest ways to travel with a large group. Travel to many new and faraway places while only unpacking once! Be among the first to experience the newest luxury innovation, art and culinary experiences on the waters.

One of the top trends for 2024, especially for Gen Z and Millennials, is spending quality time in a destination by taking longer trips and building connections. Cruising allows you to travel at a more leisurely pace, with mesmerizing and refreshing ocean views.

Indulge in Every Luxury: Regent Seven Seas Grandeur

Good things come in threes – including ultra-luxury cruise ships. Introducing the Seven Seas Grandeur - third Explorer Class vessel.


You can count on Regent Seven Seas standards, such as all-inclusive sailings, generous staff-to-guest ratios, and impeccably personal service. Plus the decor and design includes a custom-made Fabergé egg. The ship sails full seasons of 7-to-16-night voyages in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean.


The Grandeur's polished and organic styles meld beautifully in its Observation Lounge, located on the bow, where art nouveau detailing recalls old New York City and Rockefeller Center. Quiet alcoves offer private spots to soak in port views. Travelers will have a hard time taking their eyes off the lounge’s centerpiece – an oversize chandelier made with thousands of overlapping crystals resembling gardenia petals.
