Around the World in 111 Nights: All Balcony-Suite Seven Seas Voyager's Most Extensive World Cruise

January - April 2007, to Visit 45 Ports in 26 Countries on Five Continents

Among Highlights, “Return to Africa,” Exclusive Complimentary Events

FT. LAUDERDALE, FL., September 19, 2005 - From Rio de Janeiro to Shanghai and Alexandria, the Seven Seas Voyager’s® 2007 111-night World Cruise will entice guests to experience all of the romance and mystique of a global itinerary while exploring 45 destinations in 26 countries on five continents in six-star luxury. On the most extensive World Cruise ever offered by Radisson Seven Seas®, the acclaimed 700-guest all-balcony suite vessel will begin her exploration by steaming southeast from Ft. Lauderdale for South America on January 9, 2007.

Luxury truly goes exploring with exotic ports of call, exclusive complimentary events, fine dining, and added amenities that will delight even the most seasoned traveler. On the World Cruise, the cruise line will return to southern and eastern Africa for the first time since 2003, calling at Walvis Bay, Cape Town, Richards Bay, Maputo (Mozambique), Mombasa, Mahe (Seychelles), and Male (Maldives). And, among the almost four-dozen destinations reached, three will be maiden calls at Maputo (Mozambique), Maura (Brunei) and Colombo (Sri Lanka).

“The 2007 itinerary is a result of feedback from our past guests who are seeking a less traditional World Cruise, yet a unique blend of wonderful destinations and cultures on five continents,” said Mark Conroy, president of Radisson Seven Seas Cruises. “Taking these valued comments into consideration, we’ve ambitiously responded with an exceptional, convenient roundtrip from Ft. Lauderdale voyage with a return to Africa.”

The sailing will also feature 14 overnights in popular ports, allowing guests ample time to explore both the immediate cities plus the interiors of the countries visited through optional multi-day overland tours.
