REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES TO UTILIZE REVOLUTIONARY AUDIO HEADPHONE SYSTEM ON
SHORE TOURS AND EXCURSIONS

Innovative technology allows tour leaders to provide key insights to all
participants, up close or steps away
FORT LAUDERDALE - February 21, 2008 - Regent Seven Seas Cruises, voted the
"#1 Small-Ship Cruise Line" in Condé Nast Traveler's 2007 Readers' Choice
Awards poll, will launch a revolutionary headphone system this summer,
allowing guests participating in shore excursions and land tours to hear
their guides clearly and effectively beyond normal speaking range. The
system will be carried aboard Regent Seven Seas ships and used at tourism
sites where the company's expert lecturers and guides find it particularly
useful, including historic and religious landmarks where loud conversation
is forbidden.

The innovative system utilizes a small microphone through which the user can
speak directly to guests wearing individual, lightweight headsets. Created
in Italy, the system allows Regent Seven Seas lecturers and guides to
provide guests with key facts and expert insight as they tour international
tourism sites.

The system will debut on June cruises to the Baltic and Europe aboard the
700-guest, all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas Voyager®, and the 490-guest,
all-suite Seven Seas Navigator®, as well as on the September 10 Grand Asia
Pacific cruise aboard the 700-guest, all-suite, all-balcony Seven Seas
Mariner®. The headsets are individually packaged and disposable, meaning
guests will receive a new, completely sanitary set with each tour.

"Having our own system allows us to use it across a wide spectrum of Regent
shore excursions and gives us the flexibility to provide our guests with
enlightening information and commentary at all times," said Dairus Mehta,
Director of Land Programs for Regent Seven Seas. "The system represents
another first for The Regent Travel ConciergeSM, giving our guides an
intimate and effective way to provide key details to guests as they tour
historic landmarks."

I don't know whether this is the exact brand, but when we visited China with
Viking River Cruises these were used. The result was amazing. No matter how
large the crowds surrounding us, we could hear every word the guide said.
