Ownership

Apollo also owned Oceania Cruises and 15.8% of Norwegian Cruise Line. Carlson retained ownership of the master Regent brand, along with the operations of Regent Hotels & Resorts around the world.[1]

Following the purchase, Apollo made public their plans to order a new ship for Regent. The new ship was planned to be of similar dimensions and capacity as the Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner, but with larger accommodations and expanded public spaces. This was to be the Seven Seas Explorer.

On September 2, 2014 Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings purchased Prestige Cruise Holdings, the parent company of Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, for $3.025 billion.[2]
