Transcript

00:00Cruising has evolved so much

00:29in the past couple of years

00:30because people want the luxury,

00:32but they also want the idea

00:34of what the possibilities,

00:37if you will,

00:38you know, the ones

00:39that they can't even fathom.

00:40Could you sort of talk about that

00:42looking at something like the Prestige

00:43and the all-inclusive Ultra Suite

00:47because there's so much possibility with it?

00:50Yeah, you know, when we launched

00:51and we really created

00:53Seven Seas Prestige,

00:54we really wanted to make sure

00:55we're taking Ultra Luxury

00:57to the next level

00:57and the Skyview region suite

00:59really sets the tone.

01:00You know, at 9,000 square feet,

01:02she's approximately four times the size

01:04as the average U.S. home.

01:06Truly remarkable, two-story.

01:08So we have a private elevator

01:09going from the first floor

01:10up to the second floor.

01:12We have over 3,700 square feet

01:13of balcony space.

01:14So you have these amazing vistas

01:16across the world where we visit.

01:18Truly a one-of-a-kind,

01:20unique experience,

01:21starting at 25,000 a night.

01:22But again,

01:23it's one of that one unique experiences

01:25and it really is sought after.

01:27Well, because people,

01:28they, you know,

01:28they'll look at it as a bucket list

01:30or the people that are used to it.

01:32I mean, could you talk about

01:33some of the amenities within it?

01:34You know, some of the ideas.

01:36Yeah, absolutely.

01:37So it starts off

01:37with a private butler

01:38who's dedicated

01:39just to this one suite

01:40to catering to

01:41the guest needs day and night.

01:43We also have a private car

01:45and driver

01:45in every port of call.

01:46So we really, truly

01:47immerse our guests

01:48in each destination we go to,

01:50how they want to experience

01:52each destination.

01:53You know, because we have

01:54a private fitness and gym,

01:56we also include spa treatments

01:57in the suite itself.

01:58So they never have to leave the suite

01:59if they don't want to

02:00when it comes to the spa.

02:02Gourmet dining.

02:03Gourmet dining is included

02:04for everyone,

02:04but we have a private dining room

02:06both in suite

02:07and out of the suite

02:08for the region suite guests.

02:09So they truly can customize

02:10their dining experience

02:11morning, noon,

02:13or even during the dinner time.

02:14So truly this one-of-a-kind,

02:16unique experience for guests.

02:18Now, constructing something like this

02:19within the greater purview

02:21of something like the Prestige,

02:23which is also luxury.

02:24Can you talk about that

02:25and that balance?

02:26Because, you know,

02:27they're one in the same,

02:29but yet one's ultra higher

02:30in that way, if you will.

02:32Yeah, so the Skyview region suite

02:34sets the tone

02:35for the entire ship.

02:36So we have 12 categories of suites.

02:38We're all suite, all balconies.

02:39So the entry-level suite

02:40starts at $6,499 per person

02:43for a 10-day cruise.

02:45So again, price tag seems high,

02:47but we include everything.

02:48So free unlimited shore excursions

02:51for our guests

02:52in every port-a-call we visit,

02:53all the gourmet dining,

02:55as I mentioned,

02:56plus all the beverages,

02:57so all the wine, spirits.

02:59We include free valet laundry

03:00as well, too,

03:01is one of those nice perks

03:02that people don't realize.

03:03And one of the benefits

03:03of cruising is

03:04you get to unpack once.

03:06But when you include laundry service

03:07at the same time, too,

03:08it really does enhance

03:09the overall experience.

03:10And then, of course,

03:11for the guests

03:11that want to stay connected,

03:13we include Wi-Fi

03:13for free as well, too.

03:15Well, can you talk about

03:16some of the initial voyages of this?

03:18Because I know

03:18there's the 10-day cruise

03:20around the Caribbean Sea,

03:21there's Barcelona.

03:22Could you talk about

03:23some of the voyages

03:24people can sort of keep in mind

03:26when coming to something like this?

03:28Yeah, absolutely.

03:29So we launched the ship.

03:30We're building the ship

03:31in Italy right near Venice.

03:32So she's going to take

03:33her maiden cruise

03:34from Barcelona to Miami,

03:36transatlantic.

03:37And then we have cruises

03:38that are departing

03:38from Miami, Los Angeles,

03:40and New York

03:41before we head back

03:41to Europe as well, too.

03:43And the initial sailings

03:44go on sail on June 25th.

03:47So time for everyone

03:49to actually look at the cruises

03:50that they want

03:50to make the right booking.

03:51Could you talk,

03:52with your experience

03:53with Regent,

03:54you know,

03:54and seeing all these things

03:55through the years,

03:57can you talk about,

03:58you know,

03:59these kinds of ships

04:01getting sort of

04:02more luxurious,

04:03bigger,

04:04but also almost more intimate

04:05in certain ways?

04:07Could you talk about

04:08that balance?

04:08Because you've seen,

04:09you know,

04:10this progressed

04:11through many,

04:11many years.

04:12And you know what,

04:13you know what sells,

04:14but you also probably

04:15know what people want.

04:17Yeah, you know,

04:17that's one of the great questions

04:19because it also is,

04:20what is luxury, right?

04:21Luxury is to each

04:22individual person.

04:23And that's what we really

04:24focus on at Regent.

04:25So at the Cornerstone,

04:26you, of course,

04:27you have to have

04:27these great ships

04:28and these ships

04:29are truly spectacular.

04:31But what really makes

04:31the difference

04:32is the crew.

04:33They're so special.

04:34I am so privileged

04:35to work alongside

04:36such amazing men and women.

04:38But they deliver

04:38that unique experience

04:40for each guest

04:40really customized

04:41towards how people

04:43want to sail the world.

04:44And that is one

04:45of the most favorite

04:46parts of mine

04:46is going on board

04:47and seeing the beaming

04:49staff on board.

04:50They're just amazing people.

04:51And my last question

04:52comes to, you know,

04:53obviously building

04:54a ship like this.

04:55Obviously,

04:55you guys are still

04:56in the midst

04:57of building it.

04:58But can you talk about,

04:59you know,

04:59when you're looking,

05:00because you have

05:01obviously seen

05:02the architecture,

05:04you've seen the blueprints,

05:05you've seen so many things.

05:06What impresses you

05:07about what is able

05:08to be done

05:08with these kinds

05:09of cruise ships,

05:10specifically the ones

05:12at Regent?

05:13You know,

05:13it's a remarkable process.

05:15I was actually,

05:15I just visited the shipyard

05:16the other week,

05:17so I just got back.

05:18And we actually create

05:19mock-ups of all

05:21the staterooms

05:21and all the public spaces

05:23just so we can see,

05:25we can touch and feel

05:25how they're going to look.

05:27Luxury really is

05:27in the details.

05:28You want to get

05:28all the details right.

05:29But when you look

05:30at the base aspect

05:31of building a ship,

05:31it's really a fascinating

05:32process of how they

05:34pull the blocks together

05:35and they build them

05:35in these shipyards.

05:37Truly remarkable.

05:39But really,

05:39it comes back down

05:40to all the details

05:41that we focus on

05:42in every aspect

05:43of the public spaces

05:44and the suites.

06:05of the public spaces

06:06and the suites.
