00:00It's a moment of true grandeur here in Liverpool, quite literally, as one of the world's most luxurious cruise ship makes her maiden call to the city.
00:11I've been invited on board, unfortunately, just for the afternoon to take a look around and wow, how the other half live.
00:22The Seven Seas Grandeur, Regent Seven Seas Cruises' newest and most lavish vessel, is docked here for the very first time, giving Liverpool a glimpse of ultra-luxury at sea.
00:35Holding no more than 744 guests at a time, with a crew of around 550, it provides among the highest space and staff to guest ratios in the cruise industry.
00:49She boasts 15 categories of suites, ranging from 307 square feet to the Palatial Region Suite, which comes in at over 4,400 square feet and carries a rather hefty nightly price tag of around £12,000.
01:09Oh my gosh, that suite is so large and luxurious.
01:14The main suite in there is massive.
01:18It's got a wraparound balcony, affording guests some fantastic views, as well as a hot tub on there.
01:26The shower is massive.
01:29There is a sauna, private massage room.
01:32It also gives you access to the private dining suite on board, where you and up to 12 guests can dine in private, if you'd like, every night.
01:45I mean, what else would you expect for that kind of price tag?
01:49Among its standout features, a 1,600-piece art collection worth £6 million is on board,
01:55including works by Picasso, a bronze and glass bonsai cherry tree sculpture, and the crown jewel, the first Fabergé egg permanently at sea.
02:05We are being treated to a dining experience in Chartreuse, the fine French speciality restaurant on board.
02:13At just over 50,000 gross tonnes, 70s Grandeur may not be the biggest ship to visit Liverpool, but she's certainly amongst the most exclusive.
02:25Grandeur by name and most definitely by nature.
02:29She's pretty small in terms of cruise ships.
02:33However, there still seems to be so much to see here.
02:37We're out on the main deck now, it's got a running track around it, you've got a paddle court, there's a little crazy golf bit.
02:46There's just loads of places to sit, obviously, pools, restaurants, there's a library, lounges.
