MIAMI — Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced the Farewell Season for Seven Seas Navigator, with three special sailings planned between August and October 2026 to celebrate the ship’s final chapter.

In service since 1999, Seven Seas Navigator will be honoured with onboard celebrations, tributes and themed events before concluding its final voyage on Oct. 2, 2026. The closing season also coincides with the retirement of long-time cruise director Ray Solaire, who will step down after nearly five decades at sea, including 18 years with Regent.

“From the inaugural voyage in 1999, Seven Seas Navigator has embodied the timeless luxury and personalized service that defines Regent Seven Seas Cruises,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “As we celebrate her remarkable journey, we are equally proud to honor Ray Solaire, a treasured member of the Regent family, whose legacy will sail on for both guests and crew.”

The Farewell Season begins Aug. 12, 2026 with Iberian Indulgence, a 12-night Epicurean Spotlight Voyage from Le Havre to Barcelona, featuring exclusive food and wine experiences hosted by Regent’s culinary leadership team. On Aug. 24, the nine-night Miro to Michelangelo Reunion Cruise will welcome back iconic Regent personalities including Captain John McNeil, general manager Davor Josipovic and founding president Mark Conroy, with panel discussions, themed dinners and light-hearted competitions. The season culminates with A Mythical Sojourn, a 14-night voyage from Istanbul to Rome on Oct. 2, 2026, featuring a gala night, memorabilia auction and Solaire’s final curtain call.
