Regent Seven Seas Cruises' Seven Seas Mariner

Seven Seas Mariner at Hubbard Glacier in Alaska - Regent Seven Seas' Seven Seas Mariner in Alaska

The Seven Seas Mariner is a 700-passenger luxury ship; however, the atmosphere is "upscale, but not uptight". The all-inclusive nature of the ship adds to the excellent onboard experience.

Crystal Symphony Gets $25 Million Makeover

Friday November 27, 2009
Crystal Cruises has recently completed a $25 million renovation of the Crystal Symphony cruise ship.
Crystal Symphony in Hong Kong
The makeover includes completely transformed Crystal Penthouses, Lido Café and pool areas; elegantly redesigned Penthouses and Prego Italian restaurant; and dozens of behind-the-scenes improvements.

I sailed on the Crystal Symphony last spring and loved the interiors and design of the ship. It's difficult to imagine what improvements have been made with this investment, but it's nice to know that cruise lines are constantly striving to make their products better.
