A few things to keep in mind:

1. The writer makes it sound like the maiden voyage happened last month and worth revisiting in light of an unabashed billionaire becoming president. The Explorer's maiden voyage happened in July. It's unsurprising that the basic details of this voyage, the ports of departure and destinations, are left out, as you'd find out when the voyage happened.

2. Reading the article you'd think Regent serves the one-percent'ers exclusively. Hardly. They have 3 other ships and offer luxurious voyages for those who "need to save up."

3. Regent offers short hop cruises on The Explorer for as low as $3500 U.S. Check out their online booking form.

4. "The writer was a guest of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. It did not review or approve this article." Given the tone of the article I'm not surprised the writer did not give Regent a chance to fact-check the article.

This article is such lame and misleading writing, really!
