Radisson Seven Seas

My absolute favorite. Has only smaller most elegant ships… Mariner: The ships hold far fewer passengers and have only suites and balconies. They have open seating for dining and are very upscale but have great specials. If you like smaller ships and excellent service these are definitely the ships for you, I have personally sailed on The Diamond, twice on the Navigator and once on the Mariner. I recommend them very highly, the Mariner the newest is the largest accommodating 700 passengers, and has 4 restaurants. The Voyager, is scheduled to arrive in March of 2003, and is the sister ship to the Mariner.
