The most luxurious ship ever built
At Travel Counsellors annual conference I was the lucky winner of a place on board the most luxurious ship ever built along with my husband Ken. We feel so privileged to have had this experience and having recently watched back the Channel 5 documentary of the making of the ship, I actually shed a tear.
I've wrote this poem which hopefully sums it up and have taken a few snaps around the ship. I've been fortunate to sail on many cruise lines but this far surpassed all our expectations.
The most luxurious ship ever built, that much we knew
But still took our breath away as she came into view
Over to Civitavecchia as we flew into Rome
Regent Seven Seas Explorer, for the next six nights would be home
You could not be wowed as you were welcomed on board
As her sheer magnificence could not be ignored
The decor simply awesome it takes your breath away
Much more then we could have imagined I really must say
The opulence of Explorer, both inside and out
Is complete unrivalled of that I've no doubt
Once shown to our suite, the amazement didn't ease,
Welcome on the bed and champagne if you please
Spacious surroundings and magnificent decor
An enormous comfy bed, who could possibly need more?
A stunning marble bathroom, walk in wardrobe
I could settle here nicely to sail around the globe
Dining options were astounding, no matter which you chose
From Pacific Rim, prime 7, or the fabulous Compass Rose
Opening the doors where a grand dining room awaits
With sterling silver cutlery and Versace plates
The food was outstanding, the choices were vast
As the food was placed in front of you, we were always aghast
Whole experience sensational and the service divine
Not to mention the sommelier bringing fine wine
Then relax in the lounges or pop to see a show
Singers to entertain you wherever you go
Friendly crew to serve you, as you set off to sail
And bring from the bar your favourite cocktail
The service by all staff was second to none
The memories of this trip will never be gone
A million “thank you’s” for allowing us this very special trip
On Regent Seven Seas Explorer the world’s most luxurious ship
