Regency Cruises was formed in 1984 with Anastasios (Takis) Kyriakides as founder and chairman and William Schanz as president. William Schanz had previously been president of Paquet Cruises (the Regency livery was very similar to that of Paquet). The first ship was Regent Sea (a dreadful pun), previously the Gripsholm and Navarino of 1957. Regent Sea was chartered from Antonios (Tony) Lelakis. She entered service for Regency in November 1985, offering weekly cruises out of Montego Bay. The company was publicly listed, and expanded rapidly in the Caribbean and Alaska, using further tonnage chartered from Lelakis (although a percentage of Regent Star was owned by Regency). At its maximum, the fleet consisted of seven vessels, most of which had begun life as classic ocean liners. I have seen many posts on cruise forums praising Regency Cruises under their original management. Lelakis supplied a couple of substantial rebuilds, the RegentRainbow and Regent Jewel . The two container ships which were later taken by Costa and rebuilt as Costa Marina and Costa Allegra were also originally destined for Regency. Tony Lelakis took over Regency Cruises in the early 1990s, and took it back into private ownership. Cruise forum reports suggest that standards rapidly dropped at this point. The Lelakis group, of which Regency was only a small part, collapsed in 1995, taking Regency with it.
