Travelling through the treetops of a Costa Rican rainforest, perhaps, or meditating in a tranquil monastery. How about marvelling at the myriad islands and caves that bejewel Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay, or biting into delicious bruschetta on a hilltop farm outside Sorrento?
These are just a few of the highlights that guests with Regent Seven Seas Cruises can experience. Even better, the journey to reach them is just as tempting as the destinations, and with free suite upgrades across all destinations for a limited time only, there’s never been a better time to make your dreams come true.
Have you ever wished you could click your fingers and find yourself somewhere entirely different?
A right royal adventure
There’s no better way to uncover the history and beauty of the Mediterranean and northern Europe than from the comfort of a luxury ship.
Soak up over 2,000 years of history in the Turkish city of Ephesus, founded in the tenth century BC. Regent doesn’t just take you there – it will show you. With the help of an expert guide, you will access parts of this Unesco World Heritage Site that are off limits to most visitors, before you are taken to a carefully chosen restaurant that specialises in fresh local produce.
Overlooking the Adriatic, the medieval town of Kotor in Montenegro nestles in front of steep mountain slopes and offers dramatic vistas. Enjoy a scenic drive along the peninsula and stop off at Klinci, where you can join a cooking class in a centuries-old family estate, preparing what the local fishermen have caught that morning.
Alternatively, set sail for the Greek island of Mykonos to take things easy with a half-day excursion at Elia Beach, a long stretch of pristine sand. Or if you want to expend some energy on the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, Regent can arrange watersports equipment for you.
In northern Europe, there are the captivating cities of the Baltic coast. In Tallinn, Estonia, you can learn the finer points of truffle making in the medieval Masters’ Courtyard. And in Stockholm’s Old Town, home to the Royal Palace and Riddarholmen Church, you can take a walking tour followed by a drink at Hotel C Stockholm’s Icebar. There’s so much to see in the Finnish capital of Helsinki, too, from the Lutheran Cathedral to the head-turning 1967 organ-pipe monument to composer Jean Sibelius.

cruises are tailored to guests who are keen to immerse themselves in the region’s rich history and natural beauty

For otherworldly beauty, it’s hard to beat Isafjordur in Iceland. You can kayak through glass-smooth waters, search for humpback whales and absorb the culture of the town and its crafts, music, coffee and tasty baked treats.
At the northernmost edge of Norway on the island of Mageroya, take an ATV safari across the tundra or head out to sea on a fishing expedition, culminating in an unforgettable fireside feast of king crabs cooked by local Sami people.
Further south, there’s colourful Copenhagen with its bronze statue of the Little Mermaid, immortalised by Hans Christian Andersen and animated by Disney. The city can be explored by canal boat.
One of the many highlights of the Canada and New England route is Halifax. Visit the star-shaped Halifax Citadel at the heart of the town and Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, home to artifacts from the Titanic.
Boston, Massachusetts has long been known as the intellectual capital of the United States. Take an insiders’ tour of Harvard University, browse the John F Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum and, intellectually sated, take a tour of America’s oldest baseball park at Fenway Park.
Natural and human wonders
Regent’s Caribbean cruises are tailored to guests who are keen to immerse themselves in the region’s rich history as well as its natural beauty, including its array of beaches.
One of the finest of those beaches can be found on Antigua’s northwest coast. Dickenson Bay ticks all the boxes with white sands, crystal clear waters, palm trees and, yes, some rum punch.
There’s a VIP welcome awaiting you should you go ashore in Honduras at the Turquoise Bay Resort – mid-morning hors d’oeuvres, a three-course lunch and premium drinks, enjoyed in hammocks and thatch-roofed palapas.
In St Lucia, make the most of the island’s volcanic terrain with a 4x4 beach safari and take in the commanding views of Castries and its harbour from Morne Fortune. Caribbean destinations are ideal for jungle exploration, of course: in Puerto Limón, Costa Rica, take an aerial tram through the rainforest canopy at Braulio Carrillo National Park or a boat ride through the Estero Negro Estuary, keeping a keen eye out for monkeys, sloths and crocodiles.

In Vietnam, revel in the hubbub of Hanoi before travelling into the countryside bound for the northern shores of Ha Long Bay and the Truc Lam Giac Tam Monastery. You will learn the history of Zen Buddhism and opt to take part in a meditation session.
