REGENT SEVEN SEAS

You’ve probably heard of REGENT SEVEN SEAS, and if you’re looking for a high-end, all-inclusive experience, they should definitely be on your radar.  They are THE most inclusive cruise line, and if you like small-ship luxury, here’s a brief look:

The Ships

  • Carry between 496 and 850 guests.
  • As of the end of 2026, Regent will have an ALL veranda fleet.
  • There are seven ships including Prestige which joins in late 2026.
  • Prestige will have Skyview Suites (with rooftop terraces).

The Itineraries

  • Lots of overnights and extended stays.  Ports look a lot different at night, so you get a different experience.
  • Regent visits 550 ports on 6 continents so you can go anywhere with them. 
  • Shore excursions with a focus on Epicurean Delights, Wellness Tours, Eco Tours, Architectural Tours, as well as more traditional shore tours. 

The Experience

  • There is 1 staff member for every 1.3 guests, so you’ll be well taken care of.
  • Butlers and suite attendants for every stateroom. 
  • Relaxed evening dress code to include refined denim and stylish sneakers after 6pm.
  • Insightful guest speakers and Broadway quality entertainment.
  • Culinary excellence with a wide variety of specialty dining choices, and featured local dishes as well.  

The Inclusions

  • REGENT is the MOST inclusive cruise option available.  You may be aware that earlier this month without any warning, Silversea dropped Shore Excursions from their included amenities, leaving REGENT as the only truly all-inclusive option.
  • Your fare on REGENT includes
    • All taxes and fees
    • Specialty dining
    • Butlers for every room
    • An open bar, including in-suite mini-bar replenished daily
    • Gratuities & Wifi on board the ship
    • Valet laundry service
    • UNLIMITED Shore Excursions

PRIVATE SALE in OCTOBER

Regent wants to get more of our clients on board their ships, so they’re offering us $1000 OFF per person on just about all their itineraries.  The REGENT PRESTIGE launches in 2026, and itineraries on that ship are excluded, but everything else we can save you $2000 per stateroom.
