Seven Seas Explorer entered service in July 2016, christened by Charlene, Princess of Monaco, in Monte Carlo on 13 July 2016, and made her maiden voyage on 20 July 2016, a 14-night sailing from Monte Carlo to Venice. At about 55,254 gross tons she carries 750 guests in 377 suites, with 10 passenger decks, diesel-electric propulsion and a service speed of about 19 knots. Built by Fincantieri in Genoa, she was Regent's first new ship in more than ten years, and every suite has a veranda.
