ASIAN RESTAURANT “PACIFIC RIM”
ARCHITECT: RTKL, LUMINAIRES: CHELSOM
A complex ceiling structure with indirect cove lighting forms the frame for the central seating area, which is equipped with customized pendant luminaires and offers cozy private spaces in the open central room.
The window seating area is separated by decorative screens, which are highlighted by grazing light and special floor lights. The grazing light on the back wall creates a vertical illuminance that visually opens up the room.
ATRIUM
ARCHITECT: TILLBERG DESIGN, CHANDELIERS: CHELSOM
The atrium has four large custom-made chandeliers, which were developed in close collaboration with the lighting designer, architect and manufacturer.
LIBRARY
ARCHITECT: TILLBERG DESIGN, CHANDELIERS: PRECIOSA
Shelf lighting and floor reading lights with touch dimmer are the special features.
MAIN RESTAURANT “COMPASS ROSE”
ARCHITECT: TILLBERG DESIGN, CHANDELIERS: PRECIOSA
The main restaurant, Compass Rose, is home to the most elaborate chandelier in the entire ship. Directly above the captain’s table, hundreds of hand-blown glass drops and handcrafted glass plates create a unique lighting atmosphere.
The chandelier was developed in close collaboration and in several steps, including renderings, light simulations and mock-up tests. Two additional types of chandeliers in the side and rear areas make a visit to this restaurant an unforgettable experience.
BACKGROUND CHECK
ABOUT THE SHIP
The Seven Seas Explorer sets completely new standards at sea. Since 2016, she has been sailing for Regent Seven Seas Cruises to the most beautiful places on earth. 732 passengers can immerse themselves in an elegant and luxurious world on the Seven Seas Explorer and be pampered every day by the on-board staff and many sophisticated inclusive services. During the construction of the Seven Seas Explorer, particular attention was paid to detail. It is made entirely of high-quality materials, and it is not without reason that it is considered one of the most elegant and luxurious ships on the seven seas.
THE VOICE
SHONE IN THE NEW LIGHT
The Seven Seas Explorer has a variety of individually designed suites. All are attractively and extremely luxuriously furnished and have private balconies or verandas. In your suite, you will find all the amenities you need, including an interactive flat-screen TV, a personalized bar or mini-bar, and various other first-class highlights. The Concierge Suite, for example, includes a luxury hotel arrangement for an overnight stay before the cruise, possible in many ports. In the Seven Seas Suite and the Penthouse Suite, you will be provided with a personal butler in addition to the hotel arrangement, and you can use an iPad free of charge.
