Regent Seven Seas Cruise line is made up of four vessels: Seven Seas Explorer, Seven Seas Mariner, Seven Seas Voyager, and Seven Seas Navigator. It is a smaller cruise line when compared to Carnival Cruise line that has 25 operational vessels. They make voyage around the whole world, which to many passengers is an attraction. Their main focus is on luxury rather than activities because they are not that big and do not hold that many passengers. Although their ships have a capacity of under 1,000 passengers, and weigh approximately 45,000 tons, there is still room for injuries to occur.
