Regent Seven Seas Cruise Director, Jamie Logan's Blog
A few nights ago we gave our guests a Christmas surprise. We had loaded the Christmas decorations on board SEVEN SEAS NAVIGATOR in Ft. Luaderdale on November 28th and stored them away to way for just the right moment - one hour back on the clock! On that night at 11:00pm we held a shipwide decorating party. All available crew were to attend. Each department was assigned a particular area to … [Read more...]
V Cruisers, It was great to get back to Manaus which is located just about 900 miles up the Amazon river. This city went through a boom era in the late19th and early 20th centuries, when it supplied 90% of the world’s rubber. Rubber barons who lived in the city owned vast plantations and recruited local tribesmen to tap the rubber. The rubber barons (which totaled about 100 families) became … [Read more...]
Greetings Friends & Followers, It's been too long a time since my previous post and my apologies for that. Dana and I left home right after Thanksgiving, which was very nice by the way, and boarded the SEVEN SEAS NAVIGATOR on November 28th. Since then it has been nothing less than a whirlwind as we have pushed hard to get our department set up as we like it. We have not worked here in ten … [Read more...]
Veteran’s Day was, as expected, very special! Being able to lend a hand to Rico’s Café as they served up over 500 meals to local vets was an honor! Dana and I want to be a part of this whenever we are home on that holiday; however, next year we’re scheduled to be away. I want to add that many of these vets stayed around and ate for a long time and enjoyed many courses. This observation … [Read more...]
As you know, two days from now on 11.11.11, especially, is the day which we honor and thank all military personnel who served the United States of America in all wars, particularly our living veterans. At 11:00am E.S.T. let us remember to also pause for two minutes of silence out of respect for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and for those still living whose lives were adversely changed … [Read more...]

In case you missed it, this is a great little story about another long time cruise director who has now served Regent Seven Seas Cruises for several years, Ray Solaire. I found the article both interesting and entertaining. I though you might as well! http://abcnews.go.com/Travel/puppet-man-ray-sunshine-spent-entire-adult-sea/story?id=14811010 Puppet Man: Ray of Sunshine Spent Entire Adult Life … [Read more...]
Greetings once again Vicarious Cruisers, After all the weather and such we experienced last voyage, we certainly all hoped that this voyage would be good. As you may have read in my last entry, Napflion, Greece was a delightful day! Monemvasia, Greece followed and was splendid! Crete was pleasant enough when our guests ran off to visit the 6000 year old ruins of Knosses. Santorini, … [Read more...]
A Friendly Stroll Through Nafplion, Greece... Nafplion is located inGreece’s Peloponnese region and is only a two hour drive from Athens. It is the gateway to ancient Corinth and the Corinth Canal. As you will see by my photos it was a glorious day and our guests, about 600 of them, stepped out to tour our first port of call for this voyage. I have done the tours here in years … [Read more...]
Last voyage sure kept us all on our toes as we faced a lot of challenges. I have been sailing in the Eastern Mediterranean /Greek Islands for 25 years and NEVER had a cruise like this one... It started out in great fashion with an 11:00pm sail away from Monte Carlo, followed by a terrific day spent around Livorno where our guests toured Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre and more - it … [Read more...]

Yesterday we made call on a gorgeous day at St. Tropez, on the French Riviera. Today over 600 of our guests are now out on tour from Livorno, the gateway to Pisa, Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano and Lucca– so many options in this great … [Read more...]
