Regent Seven Seas ship to circle South America in 2017

Luxury line Regent Seven Seas is planning another epic sailing from Florida to South America and back for 2017.

The 71-night voyage on the 700-passenger Seven Seas Mariner will kick off Jan. 17, 2017 in Miami and feature a complete circumnavigation of the continent.

Highlights of the trip will include a crossing of the Panama Canal; nearly a week sailing and stopping along the coast of Peru; a two-day visit to the Chilean fjords; and a visit to the Falkland Islands.

The ship also will spend three weeks sailing along the coast of Brazil and up Brazil's Amazon River. It also will visit Ecuador, Argentina, Uruguay and several Caribbean islands.

The South America sailing is just one of several dozen trips Regent unveiled Wednesday for the winter of 2016/2017. Fares for the voyage start at $42,999 per person, based on double occupancy.

The Seven Seas Mariner underwent a major makeover in 2014 that brought upgraded cabins, restaurants, deck-top areas and more. For a deck-by-deck tour of the revamped ship, scroll through the carousel at the top of the story or see our video series on the vessel below.
