First launched as Radisson Diamond Cruises, the line began service on May 26, 1992, with the 354-guest twin-hulled Finnish-built Radisson Diamond.
Management was at first supplied by a partnership of Radisson Hotel Corporation, part of the Carlson Group of Minneapolis, and the ship’s initial owners Diamond Cruise Ltd. And present Regent Seven Seas president Mark Conroy was involved right from the start.
Two years after its formation, in 1994, Radisson Diamond Cruises merged with Seven Seas Cruises, which was operating the 180-berth all-inclusive Song of Flower. In 1996, Carlson acquired the Radisson Diamond from Finnish bankers and then also took over management of the French-owned 320-guest Paul Gauguin."
