Regent Seven Seas Cruises announces new Smoking Policy
Dear Cruise Agents,
The issue of smoking on board cruise ships has become quite a hot topic in our
industry. And while Regent Seven Seas Cruises is respectful of the lifestyle
choices of our guests and will always give smokers a warm welcome, we also
recognize the need to restrict where smoking is permitted so as not to cause
discomfort to, or provide a health or safety hazard for, the majority of our
guests who do not smoke.
In light of continuing legislative changes in smoking policies around the world
as well as the health and safety issues involved, RSSC will be changing our
smoking policy in suites, staterooms and on private balconies. Not only does
smoking present a fire hazard, but it is also an inconvenience to other guests
as the smoke, or its odor, invades surrounding suites, balconies and public
areas, creating discomfort for the guests in these areas.
Smoking will therefore be prohibited in all suites,
staterooms and balconies fleet-wide. This change will take effect on the
following dates:
* Seven Seas Voyager: December 21, 2007
* Seven Seas Mariner: December 21, 2007
* Seven Seas Navigator: December 27, 2007
* Paul Gauguin: December 29, 2007
Failure to comply with this ban will result in guests being asked to leave the
ship at their expense, without refund or credit for the unused portion of their
cruise.
This decision was made after much deliberation, and we would appreciate your
assistance in communicating our new policy to your clients. Partners with
clients booked on voyages after the policy takes effect will receive additional
communications from Regent later this month.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises Smoking Policy
While we will always give smokers a warm welcome on our ships, we also recognize
the need to restrict where smoking is permitted so as not to cause discomfort
to, or provide a health or safety hazard for, the majority of our guests who do
not smoke.
Cigarette smoking is not permitted in any enclosed dining areas, whether it be
the ships' main dining rooms or the alternate dining venues. Cigarette smoking
is only permitted in designated areas of the outdoor Pool Grills. Other than
open deck areas, the following are the only public rooms or areas where
cigarette smoking is now permitted:
Seven Seas Voyager: Connoisseur Club, Casino, Voyager Lounge (designated area),
Horizon Lounge (outside area only), Pool Bar
Seven Seas Mariner: Connoisseur Club, Casino, Horizon Lounge (outside area
only), Stars Nightclub (designated area), Pool Bar
Seven Seas Navigator: Connoisseur Club, Casino, Stars Lounge (designated area),
Galileo's (outside area only), Pool Bar
Paul Gauguin: La Palette (outside area only), Le Grill (designated area), Pool
Bar
Explorer II: Smoking Lounge on Bridge Deck
Pipe smoking is only permitted in the Connoisseur Club aboard Seven Seas
Voyager, Mariner and Navigator. Pipe smoking in open deck areas is considered an
extreme fire hazard and is not permitted. Cigar smoking is only permitted in the
Connoisseur Club aboard Seven Seas Voyager, Mariner and Navigator, and in the
designated area of the Pool Bar area aboard all four vessels.
Explorer II: January 21 and February 1, 2008
(The Regent smoking policy applies to full-ship charters of Explorer II.)
Failure to comply with this ban will result in guests being asked to leave the
ship at their expense, without refund or credit for the unused portion of their
cruise.
Thank you for your support of Regent Seven Seas. We look forward to continuing
to welcome your clients aboard our ships and providing them with The Regent
ExperienceSM.
