Regent Seven Seas Cruises has shattered the company’s previous world cruise opening day booking record – set only last year – with reservations doubling the previous record set by the 2022 World Cruise. The luxury cruise line experienced the longest waitlist for a world cruise in its history, with all Penthouse Suites and above selling out within a matter of hours when sales opened on 23 September.
At 143 nights, Regent’s 2023 World Cruise aboard Seven Seas Mariner is the line’s longest since 2011 and will explore South America, South Pacific Islands, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East, Africa and Spain.

Departing from Miami, Florida on 7 January 2023 the nearly five-month voyage will explore six continents before winding up on 30 May in Barcelona, Spain.
“Our world cruises are always highly anticipated, and I am delighted with the response to our latest global voyage, especially considering the unprecedented public health challenges we are currently navigating,” said Jason Montague, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“This record-breaking 2023 World Cruise launch day demonstrates people’s willingness to take long cruises to exotic lands and the substantial appetite for luxury travel our guests have and it is a testament to the unrivalled Regent experience that our outstanding crew have perfected.”
