Caribbean Palatial Estate Lists At $200 Million – Take a Tour

10. March 2023

It might be the prettiest island estate in the world!

In 1958, Lord Glenconner Colin Tennant bought Mustique island for £45,000, even though it had no roads or running water. Today, it is one of the world’s most exclusive and expensive islands. A palatial estate on the island is now for sale at $200 million – the most expensive home to ever come on the market in the Caribbean.

Located on 17 private acres, The Terraces includes nine buildings with a total of 13 bedrooms, nine ensuite bedrooms in the main house, an 80-foot-long swimming pool, many arched windows and doors, and the largest entertainment spaces on the island. There are seven reception rooms, a chapel, and guest cottages where there is another swimming pool. There is a 60-foot tunnel or paths that connect the main house to a 12,000-square-foot building, which includes a huge event hall and game room. There is also a lighted tennis court and a third pool with an infinity edge that appears to send water flowing over the lush hillside. The compound includes almost 53,000 square feet of the main home plus covered outdoor areas.

The estate’s exterior grounds are just as nice as the main home, which include an entrance to the main home with breathtaking fountains that rivals Europe’s best museums, lush plantings, and exquisite views from one of Mustique’s highest elevations, providing postcard-type views of the lush tropical grounds and the Atlantic Ocean’s blue water. According to the estate listing, “The Terraces was designed in a majestic blend of Palladium and Venetian style — a faithful homage to the great 16th-century palaces of Italy’s pomp.” Such as the hand-painted ceiling murals by French artist Jean-Claude Adenin.

Mustique is located in the southern Caribbean country of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The country is a popular vacation spot for CEOs and celebrities, such as George Clooney and Kate Middleton. Both Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger have expensive homes on Mustique.

The listing agent is Edward de Mallet Morgan, who is in charge of international sales at the Knight Frank real estate agency.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises® Announces The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet’s™ Return to Sailing

28. May 2021

Published Itineraries to be Preserved for Majority of Ships, plus New Sailings Created in the Mediterranean and Caribbean

SOUTHAMPTON, May 27, 2021 – Having already announced the September return of Seven Seas Splendor®, Regent Seven Seas Cruises® has confirmed its resumption of sailing plan for the rest of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, which will see all five ships back exploring the oceans by February 2022.

The cruise line intends to preserve already published itineraries as much as possible, beginning with Seven Seas Explorer® on October 16, 2021, from Venice, Italy, as the ship takes over five of Seven Seas Mariner’s® published cruises, with Mariner going into a technical dry-dock. Seven Seas Mariner will resume sailing December 18, 2021, from Miami, Florida, as will Seven Seas Navigator® on January 6, 2022. Finally, Seven Seas Voyager® will return on February 15, 2022 from Barcelona, Spain.

As part of the return to sail plan, 17 new sailings in Europe and the Caribbean have been created for Seven Seas Explorer and Seven Seas Voyager, which can be viewed at RSSC.com/Regent-returns, and are scheduled to go on sale in early June 2021.

“We thought carefully about how, when, and where reuniting the entire Regent family would enable us to consistently deliver an unrivalled experience with every luxury included, as well as provide exceptional destination explorations,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “We are incredibly excited that all five of our ships will be back on the ocean by early 2022, the year of our 30 th anniversary. The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet is ready to return, and our crew will be there eagerly waiting to welcome all our guests back onboard once again.”

In conjunction with today’s announcement, and while considering the global health environment, the cruise line has cancelled all sailings up to each ships’ respective restart date. Guests with impacted bookings will be contacted directly or via their Travel Advisor.

“We truly sympathise with those guests who have had their much anticipated and deserved cruise experience cancelled,” continued Montague. “We do hope however that travellers impacted by these changes can find a new reason to sail with us on our newly created cruises in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.”

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Return to Sailing
With Seven Seas Splendor embarking on September 11, 2021 from Southampton, UK, its inaugural season on Regent’s four remaining ships will begin their long-awaited return to the ocean from October 2021.

From spacious suites and expansive social areas, to multiple gourmet dining venues and attentive, personalised service, luxury travellers will soon be able to once again enjoy Unrivalled Space at Sea TM and the peace of mind that comes with the multi-layered SailSAfE health and safety programme, including 100% vaccination of both guests and crew.

Seven Seas Explorer
Seven Seas Explorer will welcome back guests on October 16, 2021 sailing from Venice, Italy. She will complete two published Mediterranean voyages before crossing the Atlantic to Miami, Florida and, from November 15, 2021, sail a further two published sailings in the Caribbean. The ship then begins a newly created winter Caribbean season featuring eight new sailings, starting December 20, 2021 with a 14-night Southern Caribbean cruise. After a trans-Atlantic crossing, she will arrive back in Europe on April 10, 2022, sailing three more newly created Mediterranean itineraries before embarking on her published 2022 European summer season on May 14.

Seven Seas Mariner
Following her technical dry-dock, Seven Seas Mariner will return to sailing on a published December 18, 2021 itinerary, cruising from Miami, Florida to San Francisco, California where she will begin an epic World Cruise on January 5, 2022.

Seven Seas Navigator
Seven Seas Navigator’s resumption will begin January 6, 2022 from Miami, Florida with her published 2022 Southern Caribbean winter sailings, which include multiple round-trip Barbados voyages.
