Living the suite life
Every guest on Regent Seven Seas Cruises gets a suite—even at entry level. All have separate living and sleeping areas, and 99% have a private balcony, too.
The design is all about understated opulence. Suites tend to feel luxurious but relaxed at the same time. Wake up to soft sunlight filtering through the curtains, enjoy a barista-made coffee on your private balcony, then get ready for the day in a roomy bathroom with a walk-in closet.
Your steward will leave you little surprises so you have something to look forward to during your pre-dinner pit stop. After a long day exploring, you might even be tempted to spend a night in, and included in-suite dining makes it easy to do so. An ocean-view dinner for two on your private veranda can feel quite luxurious.
The atmosphere on board
If you feel no need to ride a waterslide or scale a climbing wall, these ships are for you. There are no go-kart tracks, splash pads or zip lines. More than likely, after a leisurely lunch at sea, you'll set yourself up on one of the huge double sunloungers and relax with a book in the sunshine—perhaps with an included glass of champagne in hand.
Though the atmosphere is serene, it doesn't feel stuffy or pretentious. Guests tend to be well-heeled travelers who are excited to discover new places. You can socialize as much or as little as you like; while ships are intimately sized, there's a good variety of bars and lounges to flit between. Pop into one of the cocktail bars, enjoy some live jazz in a cozy lounge or just head back to your private veranda for a nightcap.
Spacious, stylish ships
Some luxury cruise lines bill their ships as ultra-modern hotels that just happen to float. With Regent Seven Seas Cruises, there's no forgetting you're at sea, and that's part of the magic. You'll experience the quiet, understated elegance that defines traditional luxury cruising—think sweeping staircases, a classic pool deck and an expert crew who will know your name, drink order and exactly how you like your eggs by day one. Time-honored traditions like elegant-casual dress, white tablecloths and personalized service are upheld, and attention to detail is impeccable.
Regent currently has a fleet of six ultra-luxury ships, and a seventh ship, Seven Seas Prestige, will take to the seas in late 2026. Each ship carries between 411 and 732 guests—a size that allows for personal service, plenty of space to breathe and nary a crowd or queue.
Regent's Legendary Journeys are real standout experiences. They're extended, in-depth explorations of various regions across the world, and itineraries are slightly different every year. These voyages last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, so the included valet laundry service will certainly come in handy.
Regent's 2027-2028 Legendary Journeys collection has just been released, and they range from 61 to 133 nights. Itineraries cover the Arctic, the Indian Ocean, and an epic adventure through Asia and Australia.
Though you're seeing and doing so much, these itineraries don't feel rushed. Ships stay longer in port, and often remain in destination overnight so guests can explore at their own pace. Sometimes there are also unique shoreside events held mid-cruise.
Unpack once, see the whole world
Regent's ships are perfectly sized to visit both big, bucket-list destinations and smaller boutique ports that mainstream ships can't reach.
Itineraries are meticulously designed to give guests deep and meaningful insight into the region—by providing inland excursions, for example, or tours that stray off the beaten path.
You can choose to explore everywhere from Alaska to Arabia, sailing past landscapes that range from remote coral atolls to vibrant cities.
Regent's Immersive Overnights program lets guests see even more via overnight port stays in select destinations. See big cities aglow with neon lights, dine out in a local restaurant or book a specially-tailored evening shore excursion.
550 destinations worldwide
When you first hear about included shore excursions, you might picture quick walkabouts in big groups, led by a flag-waving tour guide. This is the real difference with Regent—there's a huge, varied list of excursions in every port, going well beyond the standard walking tours, and they're nearly all included. You can take catamaran cruises, go on drives through remote areas or visit tiny, family-owned vineyards—all without paying a penny extra. Just choose what you'd like to do in advance, then jump straight into your adventure when the day comes. No worries about rushing back to the ship.
You can also get exclusive Regent Choice experiences that you'd be hard-pressed to book independently. Imagine dining at the private estate of a Michelin-starred Provençal chef, visiting a generations-old farm in remote Andalusia, or taking a yoga class in the hills overlooking Taormina and Mount Etna (available at an additional cost).

Freedom and flexibility
Food is a real highlight on a Regent cruise for good reason. The breadth of choice is exceptional, but it's also easy to further personalize meals to your own tastes. At the main restaurant, Compass Rose, you can build your own entrée from a huge list of mains, sides and sauces. Off-menu orders are welcome. You can basically eat whatever you want, whenever you want.
At the two main restaurants, there are no seating plans or set dining times. At the specialty restaurants, you need to book in advance, but you can do so at any time, even while you're on board the ship. Dining is a real event, so we'd recommend making reservations as soon as you can, especially if you're keen to catch the theater show afterwards. Performances normally start around 9:30 p.m., so a 7 p.m. meal gives you ample time without the need to bypass dessert.
Try any restaurant on board
Every restaurant onboard is exemplary, and 'premium' dining options are all included with Regent. There are two excellent main restaurants, Compass Rose and Sette Marie at La Veranda, which can accommodate walk-ins. The three speciality restaurants (not on all ships) include Prime 7, Chartreuse, and Pacific Rim. Prime 7 is inspired by a New York City-style gentleman's club, and chefs serve expertly prepared beef and delicious seafood. Chartreuse feels just like a bistro discovered on an evening stroll through Paris, while the Pan-Asian restaurant Pacific Rim's muted lighting and lotus-shaped windows create a zen atmosphere.
With Regent's ultra-inclusive dining, you could eat prime dry-aged steaks or a whole Maine lobster every night if you felt inclined. But with such a range of flavors and culinary styles at your fingertips, your tastebuds may be feeling as adventurous as the rest of you.
What else is included?
You also get unlimited Wi-Fi, unlimited 24-hour suite service, and unlimited access to the spa facilities (massages and treatments do come with an added cost). Shore excursions are included and unlimited, too—but more on those later.
One of our favorite perks is the valet laundry service. Regent is the only cruise line to offer this to its guests as part of its extensive inclusions list. Your clothes will be picked up from your suite and returned to you freshly washed and carefully pressed. It makes the experience all the more indulgent, and in some cases, can be a game changer. If you're on a voyage that'll last several weeks, you can still pack light, knowing that your clothes will be laundered and you'll always feel photo-ready. It makes unpacking a breeze, too—going back to reality is always hard, but it's slightly easier when your clothes are all washed, ironed and folded.
Industry-leading service
Regent crew members have a reputation for being near clairvoyant, anticipating your needs before you even have time to think about them. They might bring you a blanket when you're dining outdoors, or press a shirt that got creased in a suitcase.
Regent's ships have an industry-leading crew-to-guest ratio, so the team has time and space to go above and beyond. It's not always about moving mountains—sometimes, it's the little things that make you feel extra welcome. Repeat guests are greeted by name. Thoughtful little surprises—tailored specifically to your tastes—are left for you in your suite.
The crew takes pride in getting the tiny details right, and that's a huge part of what makes the experience feel so special.
Regent is proud to offer the most inclusive luxury cruising experience at sea. You can easily go the entire cruise without touching your wallet. Dine at any of the gourmet specialty restaurants without paying a surcharge, enjoy unlimited drinks (even fine wines and high-end spirits) and take your pick from a customizable in-suite mini-bar. It's all covered with your cruise fare.
Since all costs are covered upfront, you don't need to think about getting the most value out of the premium drinks package you bought, or feel limited when it comes to choosing a venue for your evening meal. Just enjoy what you want, when you want—no need to give it any further thought.

The focus on gourmet cuisine doesn't begin and end at meal times. You can pay a little extra for some really special experiences, both on and off the ship.
The Culinary Arts Kitchen is a state-of-the-art workstation on board Grandeur, Splendor, and Explorer. Inspired by France's finest cooking schools, it has top-of-the-line induction hobs and professional kitchen equipment. Here, you can book personalized, hands-on cooking courses, themed around the places you've visited.
You can also arrange chef-led, foodie tours in port. Grab a shopping bag, immerse yourself in the local markets, then cook lunch together. You're bound to return home with a knockout recipe for your next party, not to mention some interesting stories for after dinner.
