Oh, wow.

C'mon, April!!!

Agree totally. Looks fabulous. Jean.

MMMMM! Looks lovely!

Wow, really nice. Now I'm really happy we booked a cruise on this ship. Hope it doesn't spoil us-because we also booked the Mariner after the Explorer.

We are due on Explorer in September having only been on Mariner to date. Just booked Voyager for 2018 - looking forward to both cruises and ships with equal anticipation.

Mariner is an outstanding ship, the levels of comfort, elegance and service are exceptional. The spaciousness of the public areas and quality of dining are hugely impressive. You will enjoy Mariner irrespective of what Explorer has to offer.

I actually like the layout and design of Voyager and expect to have a great trip in 2018, even if Explorer does spoil us with the spa, extra dining venue and it's grandness. They are all terrific ships and will provide distinctive experiences. The consistent factor should be the Regent style, ambience and "feel" - we've only done it once but we are certainly hooked having been big Cunard fans previously. (Still are, I guess, but Regent has the edge for us for space and ship size).

I'm on board now. I've given a link to my Google photo album to! Friend and he said he'd post. Super nice ship!

Can't believe this thread isn't exploding! Looks fab.

Thanks to Farbster/Lawrence for his Explorer photos--pls see the link below. Explorer

Wes, thanks for posting Lawrence's photos. Hope he'll post more. The ship looks gorgeous!

Absolutely beautiful pix of ship. The USAToday post is wonderful. Thanks Kwaj girl for sharing. Leave for France on Tuesday, and now even more excited to be on Maiden Voyage.:)

Will post a few more tonight. Spent all day in pool. Will get to take pics of gym and some other areas. Didn't go to tour all the suites today. Too busy relaxing in pool. Nothing beats a sea day. Great dinner in mdr. Made own surf and turf with rib eye, lobster, shrimp and scallops. Finished with soufflé.

Lawrence, Thanks so much for taking the time to post your photos of Explorer. She sure is beautiful. Please continue posting when you get time.

Glad you enjoyed your seaday!!

Lawrence - one question - I asked on your site - what is the "box" - next to last photo?

The pictures are marvelous - thanks so much!

Peggy, are you talking about the pic from the men's room? You can see a urinal in corner? If that one, it is a framed piece of art that they hadn't unwrapped or hung. There's another pic from earlier that shows the pod detergent provided in laundry.

I think it must be the laundry detergent . . . . .thanks

While I am enjoying farbster's photos, the USA Today photos are absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see and experience the ship in person:)

I wonder why the USA Today photos left out any shot of the actual living spaces.

I wondered the same thing. Maybe the cabins were not open for viewing . . .

By the way, the Explorer and the Navigator are both in Toulon

Peggy

Cabins were open on Sea day. I'll take video and photo today after returning from Aix-en-Provence

Great photo's and enjoying all.

Pies4u, thanks for the information and your feelings regarding the Mariner, wasn't sure it would be that good. Now looking forward to both cruises.

Just published an article with pictures of the suites on board Seven Seas Explorer. Sorry, text is in Dutch. ;)
