Chartreuse
Attention to detail. You’ll notice it at the front of Chartreuse, where a beautifully crafted bar beckons while you wait. It’s in the art deco tile pattern on the floor and sparkling gold tile on the walls. It’s in the décor of a chic Parisian restaurant discovered during a stroll along the Seine. Savor ‘new’ flavors to Chartreuse like a tender veal rack of loin with caramelized endive, grape chutney and the earthy tones of a walnut veal jus sauce.

Come by before or after a shore excursion – there’s no need for more formal attire during our evening hours – or enjoy a snack between activities.
Prime 7
A true classic in every sense, Prime 7 of Seven Seas Explorer® is the epitome of luxury dining. Works by Picasso and Chagall adorn the restaurant's bar lobby and leather wing-back chairs and burnished woods abound. Enjoy a cocktail at the bar before savoring a succulent filet mignon or mouthwatering côte de boeuf at your personal banquette. For dessert, perhaps a slice of 14-layer Valhrona chocolate cake with pistachio sauce.
Sette Mari at La Veranda
Each evening, La Veranda transforms into Sette Mari at La Veranda, a casual, intimate dining experience. Choose from authentic Italian specialties inspired by family recipes that span generations, or opt for something with a modern twist like a spice-crusted tuna steak with braised endive, polenta and salmoriglio. Savor it all with a perfectly paired Tuscan wine. Sette Mari at La Veranda is open for dinner only.

Smoking is permitted in the club.
Constellation Theater
A dazzling staircase mosaic creates a Gatsby-esque atmosphere as you enter our Constellation Theater, a space so grand it takes up two decks.

Atrium
Often described as the crossroads of the ship, our Atrium is an inspiring testament to the grandeur of luxury ocean travel. Cascading stairwells make it a natural gathering place for guests, but convenience alone doesn’t begin to describe its magnetic appeal. On Seven Seas Explorer® a spectacular chandelier hovers like a glowing star, enhancing the natural light shining down from far above.
Bocce Court
The originators of bocce ball 7,000 years ago couldn't have imagined their simple game being played high atop a glorious ocean liner... but you’ll be able to do more than imagine while playing it onboard Seven Seas Explorer®.

Cruise Sales
One sunny morning on the private balcony of your luxurious suite, hot coffee in hand, magnificent ocean stretching to the horizon, is probably more than enough to get you thinking about booking your next voyage with Regent Seven Seas Cruises®.

Whether you find yourself in a tense match or something more leisurely, you and your fellow players will be enjoying fresh ocean air and fantastic views from high atop your ship.
Pool Bar
When you envision an activity you’re only likely to do while on vacation, sipping a frozen drink at a pool bar onboard a glorious cruise ship is probably near the top of the list. You can tick that box at our Pool Bar, where you and new friends can enjoy leisurely conversation over cocktails and frozen drinks in a delightfully relaxed atmosphere.
Pool Deck
When the call of a glistening pool with an unforgettable vista beckons, head to our Pool Deck.

You’ll also find an amiable and dedicated crew standing by to provide refreshing beverages and lounge chairs with plush towels.
Putting Green
While the Golf Net is meant to help you improve your fairway swing, our Putting Greens are less about self-improvement than group fun as your ship travels from one destination to another. A popular pastime is gathering friends after an afternoon cocktail and heading to the top deck of Seven Seas Explorer® for a spirited competition as twilight approaches and a delicious dinner in one of our stellar restaurants looms.

Declared a city in 1988, this major deepwater port has an interesting past of ups and downs. Originally established in 1827 as a town to provide service to local farm areas, it remained small until tin was discovered in the 1880s. This lead up to the laying of the Emu Bay Railway which linked Burnie to the west coast mining towns of Zeehan and Rosebery. The mining eventually slowed down, but the town of Burnie continued on with the building of a major paper mil in 1938, which has scaled back its operations since then.

Korea''s "museum without walls" is akin only to China in its depth and cultural wonder.

Today this small provincial town is virtually a museum without walls, dotted with many splendid ruins.

Pusan is also a shopper''s mecca and Korea''s vital southern link to Japanese and American trade.
One of Japan's most historic cities, Nagasaki was a major port, trading with the Portuguese and Dutch in the 16th century. You can still see this colonial legacy in the brick buildings, old forts, canals and curving cobblestone streets.

But Nagasaki's ties with Korea and China are equally apparent in the famous Chinese temple, a large Chinese colony and the numerous fine Korean and Chinese restaurants.

Until 1868, Kyoto was the capital of Japan, filled with elegant timber buildings and, perhaps more than any other Japanese city, imbued with Kami, the divine spirit. You'll sense it everywhere, for there are hundreds of Shinto shrines and over a thousand Buddhist temples, as well as sacred treasure-houses of religious sculpture, painting and exquisite gardens. Nara, City of the Seven Great Temples, lies in an idyllic setting.
