Cruise merger will add new amenities
To Whom It May Concern:
We came across this information in the trades and thought it would be of interest to this newsgroup as well. If this is somehow a repeat of an earlier post, sorry we missed it. This can always be ignored or deleted. The merger of Regent Hotels and Radisson Seven Seas Cruises in the next 18 months will involve upgraded suites and décor, as well as new amenities and technology. "Our acclaimed cruise line is evolving to a new higher level," said Jay Witzel, president and CEO of Carlson Homes Worldwide and Carlson Cruises Worldwide. The new global Regent brand will encompass Regent Hotels and Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, which will change its name to Regent Seven Seas Cruises immediately. Regent Hotels, with a growing portfolio of luxury properties worldwide, was acquired by the Carlson Companies in 1997. "Some things will not change," Mr Witzel said. He said the cruise line will continue to operate the world's only all-balcony suite with small and mid-sized ships that offer gourmet food.

Cruise merger will add new amenities
Hi Chrissy Cruiser,
My assumption would be that this made logical sense because of growing competition. Many cruise lines have merged in the past, but now with slightly different product lines, a natural tie-in can be made to a cruise with perhaps a pre or post cruise hotel package. All cruise line offer this. What better connection would Regent Seven Seas Cruises have than to tap into their own Regents Hotels where and when appropriate.

John I wondered about the Raddison name, the brand did not drive the images they wanted. The pre-post pkgs make sense as well. We did the Gauguin and the Tahitian Princess on a back to back recently, both were values for the money. No way to make that trip w/out a stay pre and post, especially post. http://www.rssc.com/ships/ship.jsp?code=PAU |

Chrissy Cruises,
Maybe this is the reasoning for changing the name to Regent Seven Seas Cruises immediately. Now, likewise, with the name of "Regent Hotels," this will enhance their image as well.
