REGENT Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has unveiled a new spotlight voyage with Swedish golfer Annika Sorenstam, regarded as one of the best at her sport in history.
The eight-time LPGA Player of the Year will host an exclusive Spotlight Voyage around six of the United Kingdom’s historic golfing greens next year.
The 14-night voyage on board the new Seven Seas Grandeur will sail on 23 June, sailing round trip from Southampton.
The once-in-a-lifetime sailing will be filled with onboard fireside chats and meet & greets with Sorenstam, as passengers visit some of golf’s most iconic destinations.
Travellers will have the opportunity to play on six prestigious courses, including past British Open hosts Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club in England and the Turnberry Ailsa Golf Course in Scotland, as well as The Strand Course at Portstewart Golf Club in Ireland.
There will be driving demos on Grandeur’s top deck, a chance to sink some putts on the ship’s putting green, an onboard fashion show featuring Sorenstam’s clothing partner, LOHLA Sport, tea-time golf trivia, an in-course long game clinic, and much more.
RSSC has also incorporated a two-night pre-cruise land program, which will see guests hit the links during the inaugural RSSC Golf Tournament at The Downs Golf Course in England, while staying at The Goodwood Hotel, nestled in the South Downs National Park.
The voyage will then begin with a meet-and-greet cocktail party with Sorenstam in the lavish Observation Lounge.
“We are always looking to create unforgettable experiences for our guests and so we are excited to welcome Annika Sorenstam on board Seven Seas Grandeur to host this incredibly special Spotlight Voyage,” President Andrea DeMarco said.
Meanwhile, RSSC has installed Starlink across its fleet, with guests on all six ships to be provided with high-speed, unlimited wi-fi as part of its voyage fare.
Guests may opt to purchase additional suite log-ins and also upgrade the connection.
The move comes after much of the industry continues to roll out Starlink on their fleets, including RSSC’s sister brand Norwegian Cruise Line just over a year ago.
“We are committed to providing an unrivalled experience,” DeMacro said.
