         So, if you love to cruise, I would pull out your best nautical
      attire and think about casting an anchor on some of the most
      comfortable and beautiful ships to sail the seven seas.
      The Top Five New Ships Of 2023:
         Seven Seas Grandeur – After three decades of sailing, the
      Regents Seas Cruise has launched their latest ship called the
      Grandeur. You can actually be a part of their inaugural sailing as
      she crosses the Atlantic Ocean to spend her winter months in the
      Caribbean this coming year. Like her sister ships, the Seven Seas
      Splendor and Seven Seas Explorer, this new build will celebrate
      both signature features and new elements of her own.
         Dine in the newly inspired Compass Rose dining room
      with decor designed to simulate an enchanted forest, including
      arched tree canopies and a cascading waterfall sculpture. Also
      new is their Culinary Arts Kitchen, added spa enhancements
      and cooking classes, along with high-end wine tastings. With
      only 732 guests, this is truly the epitome of luxury!
         Seabourn Pursuit – Following in the wake of her sister
      ship, Seabourn Venture, this new vessel will bring a legacy
      of luxury expedition voyages in 2023. Built to cross the water
      in comfort, this ship has set its compass for such destinations
      as Greenland, Iceland and Norway throughout the spring and
      early summer.
         The Seabourn Pursuit will bring you closer to nature’s
      wonders with only 132 oceanfront veranda suites and a host
      of state-of-the-art amenities. To add to the excitement, you
      can also have the thrill of plunging beneath the water’s surface
      in a custom-built submarine. For those interested in a more
      active experience, you can venture close to shore in a Zodiac
      raft or by kayak. Either way, you will learn from a team of            25+ years industry experience
      expedition experts who will reveal rare insights into parts of
      the world only a few experience. And once you are back on
      ship, you will have the same amenities and luxury dining you
      would find on any of Seabourn’s ships.
