Regent Seven Seas Cruises Offers Personalized Commemorative Photo
Albums for Guests
Fort Lauderdale
Regent Seven Seas CruisesSM announced it has enhanced its innovative
program with SharedBook Inc., allowing guests to preserve their cruise
memories with individualized commemorative photo albums. The
enhancements include improved customization and more flexibility in
choice of materials, and responds perfectly to the recent trend in,
and demand for, personalized journaling and scrap-booking among
vacationers. The SharedBook program is a "first" in the luxury cruise
segment.
Previously available only on select cruises, now guests on any Regent
cruise can enjoy this one-of-a-kind vacation memento to remember their
experience. The Regent Commemorative Album is a 36-page, high-quality,
professionally printed and bound album that guests create online using
customizable page templates. Available in both hard and soft covers,
the book captures scenic pictures from different ports, information
about the ship, details on the specific ports of call, facts about the
destinations and highlights of on board and on-shore activities.
Guests can mix these with their own personal photos and stories from
their voyage, as well as shots taken by the onboard photographers.
Each full-color, completed book is as unique as its author.
There are several benefits to the improved product that set it apart
from others:
* Photos taken on board can be sent directly from the ship to
SharedBook
* Guests can choose from the best selection of onboard photography
available at the photo shop for inclusion in their album
* The albums contain relevant and updated ship and itinerary
content, provided by Regent
* A "White Glove Service from SharedBook, at no additional charge,
will create albums on behalf of those guests who do not wish to create
the book themselves.
"We originally piloted this program on select sailings and are so
pleased to be able to offer this unique offering now to all of our
guests," said Sophie Vlessing, Regent vice president, guest strategy
and marketing. "Our partnership with SharedBook offers guests an
innovative way to create a personalized commemorative album and
re-live The Regent ExperienceSM for years to come." Guest feedback
from the pilot program has been extremely positive. "I loved the book
when it arrived, and I am giving it to my husband for Christmas" said
Susan O., a Regent guest from Midland, Georgia.
Books can be purchased for $98.95 for a hard cover or $68.95 for a
soft cover. Seven Seas Society Gold, Platinum and Titanium members can
receive a complimentary upgrade of a purchased soft cover album to
hard cover by calling the Regent Commemorative Album Customer Service
line at 888-212-3121. Domestic shipping and handling is included.
Regent guests can purchase the album through their travel agent, by
visiting www.Regent.Sharedbook.com , or by seeing the onboard photo
shop during their cruise.
