Radisson Seven Seas Cruises is in operation from Fort Lauderdale, and the formation of the Line was the result of a merger between Radisson Cruises and Seven Seas Cruises in 1994. The Line is a subsidiary of Carlson Hospitality Worldwide, which is among the biggest corporations in the United States which is under private ownership. Along with the Radisson Diamond ( two hulled ), Seven Seas Mariner, Song of Flower ( left fleet in Oct, 2004 ) Seven Seas Navigator, and Paul Gauguin, the R C C L has mainly small to mid sized ships, that have maintained the perfect balance between spaciousness and intimacy, and the ship is extremely on the roomy side, but is a far cry from the impersonally humungous cruise ships seen with increasing regularity nowadays. R S S C also enjoys a membership with the Guild of Professional English Butlers.
