One cannot argue that this is luxury cruising at its best. You may need deeper pockets to book an RSSC but when you look at the spend you have laid out at the end of your holiday this very much all-inclusive break may not have cost much more than many others. Whilst it is hard to compare like for like, and with routes and booking deals things change but here you get a lot for your money; on RSS everything is included.

The SEVEN SEAS EXPLORER, this film is an experience in itself, it is not short, 13 minutes, but it shows how they intended to set a benchmark in the whole cruise industry.

Charlene, Princess of Monaco, is her godmother, and every ship has a godmother, see our list. The top deck is deck 14, she holds only 750 passengers and she is laced with gold leaf and the best Italian Carrara marble. Made in Italy by Fincantieri, the same shipyard that has made so many ships, like the Azura, she entered service in July 2016, and features all-balcony suite accommodation. I would be happy with the smallest, the Verandah suit. Dream on……. but maybe, see the deals we can offer in the deals box, you might just surprise yourself.

Blood Diamonds is out at the end of 2021. It is a full-on action crime mystery and a romance that you will not be expecting. Blood Diamonds sees the end of CSCI in that Ship is dropped from the agency title. It is the start of the shorter name for the agency, CCI CRUISE CRIME INVESTIGATORS. For those following the cruise novels, expect change.
