Luxury Redefined Onboard
The Seven Seas Splendor is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a floating palace, targeting to accommodate just 746 guests in its all-suite lodgings. Each suite boasts an outdoor balcony, providing private vistas of the ocean’s infinite moods. Launched in 2020, the Splendor is a testament to modern luxury, adorned with over 500 crystal chandeliers, exquisitely crafted public spaces, a $5 million art collection including works by Picasso and Miró, and two inviting pools.
Dining aboard the Splendor is an epicurean’s delight, with nine restaurants offering everything from Asian fusion to upscale French cuisine and a sophisticated steakhouse. The culinary journey is complemented by unlimited access to premium beverages, with the ship stocked with a veritable treasure trove of lobster, filet mignon, smoked salmon, caviar, and a staggering 58,000 bottles of wine.
Record-Breaking Luxury Suite
For those who demand nothing but the pinnacle of luxury, the Regent Suite on the Splendor is unmatched. Priced at a jaw-dropping $839,999 per guest, this 4,443-square-foot palace at sea features an in-suite spa, a personal sauna, a Steinway grand piano, and captivating 270-degree ocean views. The suite’s lavishness is underscored by the inclusion of an in-suite Picasso, making a statement that this is indeed a cruise like no other.
While the ‘World of Splendor’ voyage is aimed at those with a penchant for the grandiose, options are available for adventurers looking for a slightly shorter journey, with a 126-night segment ending in Rome.
As the world of luxury cruises continues to push boundaries, the ‘World of Splendor’ stands out as a beacon of opulence, adventure, and unmatched comfort. With bookings set to open in April 2024, the dream of embarking on the ultimate journey of discoveries and indulgences draws tantalizingly closer for the affluent voyager.
