Allin Interactive Selected by Regent Seven Seas Cruises as Interactive Television Provider
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Allin Corporation (BULLETIN BOARD: ALLN) announced that it has secured an agreement with Regent Seven Seas Cruises to deploy Allin's DigiMix(TM) digital interactive television solution on three Regent Seven Seas vessels in 2007.
"We are looking forward to the implementation of Allin's DigiMix(TM) ITV solution in order to enhance the onboard experience for our guests," stated Mr. Christian Sauleau, Executive Vice President, Operations of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. "We believe that the breadth of Allin's ITV functionality will not only enhance our onboard entertainment options for our guests but will also create more convenient 24-hour access to onboard information and ship services."
"We are extremely pleased to have the opportunity to work with a luxury line such as Regent Seven Seas Cruises," stated Doug Tempero, Managing Director of Allin Interactive. "We appreciate the fact that Regent views the opportunity to utilize the ITV platform as an amenity that meets the six-star expectations of its guests as well as a marketing and business intelligence tool. We look forward to implementing our ITV solution on the Seven Seas Mariner, Seven Seas Voyager, and Seven Seas Navigator in 2007."
The world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship, the 700-guest Seven Seas Mariner was launched in March 2001. The 50,000-ton vessel accommodates her guests in ocean-view suites from 301 to 2,002 square feet with private balconies. She boasts the first Le Cordon Bleu(R) restaurant at sea; four single, open-seating dining venues and Mermaid pod propulsion systems for virtually vibration-free cruising.
Mariner's sister ship, the 46,000 ton Seven Seas Voyager, which debuted in 2003, features the largest "lead-in" suites at sea: 356 square feet including balcony. Her four dining venues include Signatures, the world's second Le Cordon Bleu restaurant, and two other unique alternative dining venues.
The 33,000-ton, all-suite, 490-guest Seven Seas Navigator debuted in 1999 and features all ocean-view suites (90 percent with private balconies), plus fine dining options and generous space-per-guest ratios.
Allin's DigiMix(TM) ITV solution will support, enhance and add to Regent's onboard amenities by providing on-demand in-suite entertainment for guests, providing "real time" onboard information and in-suite communication with 24- hours-per-day availability along with promotion of port activities, onboard shopping, specialty dining, and onboard services such as room service and wine ordering all while reducing lines and increasing passenger satisfaction. The ITV services will be delivered via Regent's IP network on all three vessels.
"We felt it important to utilize Allin's DigiMix(TM) technology to take advantage of the digital network on our ships and integrate this service with our other digital offerings," stated Vincent Cirel, Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. "As an all-inclusive line we anticipate significant usage of the system by our guests, and the increased usage concurrency offered by Allin's system was appealing to us."
