REGENT SEVEN SEAS CRUISES' 2008 HISTORY CIRCLES OF INTERESTS WILL PROVIDE
ENLIGHTENING PERSPECTIVES ON WORLD-FAMOUS DESTINATIONS
Mediterranean voyages will uncover Italian and Spanish cultures and
traditions;
South America journey will explore historic Falklands conflict
FORT LAUDERDALE - October 8, 2007 - Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC), voted
the world's #1 large-ship operator by readers of Condé Nast Traveler, has
scheduled three Circles of Interest enrichment programs focusing on world
history in 2008. Circles of Interest offer RSSC guests exclusive onboard and
shore-side experiences and feature world-class lecturers, instructors and
authorities from the realms of art, cuisine, history, environmental
conservation, photography and wellness.
RSSC's history-focused Circles of Interest programs will be offered aboard
2008 winter and summer voyages of the 700-guest, all-suite, all-balcony
Seven Seas Mariner® and the 490-guest, all-suite Seven Seas Navigator®.
British naval hero Commodore Jamie Miller will host "The Falklands
Conflict," a 19-night South America voyage departing January 16 aboard
Seven Seas Mariner, while Emmy® Award-winning journalist and network news
producer Elyse Weiner hosts "Barcelona and Florence Revealed" aboard Seven
Seas Navigator's June 14 and August 16 Mediterranean departures.
RSSC's history-focused Circles of Interest programs offer guests rare
opportunities to discover the secrets of diverse regions through the lens of
a particular interest. The programs offer the insight and perspective of
knowledgeable hosts, and feature the camaraderie of an intimate community of
guests sharing similar interests. Commodore Jamie Miller, the United Kingdom's
Naval Regional Commander for Wales & Western England and a survivor of the
sinking of the HMS Coventry during the Falklands War, will share personal
stories of his adventures both in the Falklands and around the world's
oceans during Seven Seas Mariner's journey from Callao, Peru to Buenos
Aires. The cruise will feature a visit to Port Stanley, Falkland Islands,
where Miller will lead a tour of battle sites.
Elyse Weiner, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and television news producer,
is the host for "Barcelona and Florence Revealed" aboard Seven Seas
Navigator's June 14 and August 16 departures. Weiner spent many years at ABC
News, was Tom Brokaw's foreign producer at NBC Nightly News and also served
as news executive at CNBC. Over the years, she covered the fall of the
Berlin Wall and the Pope's visit to Cuba. A seasoned traveler, she is
founder of iJOURNEYS, which provides mp3 walking tours in Europe. Weiner
will lead informative tours in Barcelona and Florence that will provide
participants with the eye and experience of a resident, plus the perspective
and knowledge of a world traveler.

of providing guests with enriching experiences based on personal discovery,"

strategy. "These programs offer rare insight from world-class experts and
also provide the added enjoyment of a core group of travelers who share
similar interests. Through onboard and shore-side events, our 2008 history
Circles of Interest will deliver truly memorable experiences."
