Regent Seven Seas Cruises has introduced Relay For Life® at Sea, an onboard initiative in partnership with the American Cancer Society (ACS).
The program calls guests aboard Seven Seas Grandeur®, Regent’s newest ship, to help support the critical work of the ACS to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer, and encourage individuals to prioritise preventative health measures.
“Cancer is a journey that touches so many of us, directly or indirectly, and I feel deeply fortunate to stand here today as both a survivor and an advocate of the incredible work of the American Cancer Society,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“Utilising our wonderful cruising community, bringing together our valued guests and crew and channeling a spirit of solidarity, we will march towards a future free from cancer together,” DeMarco added.
With Relay For Life at Sea, Regent’s guests are invited to walk as many laps as they can around Seven Seas Grandeur’s sports track, combining friendly competition with a shared mission of support and unity. Representing an opportunity for luxury travellers to not only support ACS but also to bring the Regent community together around a cause that affects so many lives, guests on board can join Relay For Life at Sea with a donation of US$25 or more to the American Cancer Society.
Regent aims to sail toward a brighter, healthier future, filled with compassion, courage, and camaraderie, through Relay For Life at Sea and other efforts to support the ACS, such as the cruise line’s observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month each October. Throughout the month, the cruise line held Pink Out days on board their ships across the fleet with Pink Parties featuring special, pink-themed food and beverages.
Guests onboard any Seven Seas Grandeur sailing from 14 November 2024, onwards can take part in the program by registering and donating at cancer.org/relayforlifeatsearssc.
