Who Regent suits
Regent is an ideal choice for travelers looking for an all-inclusive luxury cruise. Once onboard, virtually everything is covered, including wine with dinner, specialty dining, some shore excursions, and laundry.
It is less of a fit for travelers who want a big production theater every night or a high-energy, late-night ship. Entertainment is pleasant rather than headline grabbing, and the evening winds down earlier than the mega ships.
What the fare covers
Air is available to purchase at prevailing rates.
While the included excursion program is broad, longer full-day tours, small-group tours, and tours that include meals are Regent Choice excursions carrying an added charge.
- Premium beverages throughout the ship, including in-suite bar setup
- All specialty restaurants at no cover charge
- Gratuities for crew
- Valet laundry in every suite, with dry cleaning added at higher loyalty tiers
- Wi-Fi for everyday use, with streaming available for purchase
- A broad range of shore excursions, typically many four to six hour tours at no added charge
Personalized service, from planning to the journey home
We coordinate the trip from flights and pre-cruise stays through suite selection, dining and excursion reservations, transfers, and the journey home. Air is purchased separately; transfers are included when air is booked through Regent.
Suites and what changes as you move up
Every category is a suite, and apart from a small number of window-only suites on Seven Seas Navigator, every category has a balcony. Moving up buys square footage, a better location, and earlier access to reservations.
Look beyond the headline square footage to the sitting area, storage, bathroom layout, and balcony. Sizes vary by ship and category, and published totals may include outdoor space, so compare the interior and veranda measurements separately before choosing.
The Skyview Regent Suite on Seven Seas Prestige has 5,091 square feet of interior space plus a 3,703-square-foot balcony, for 8,794 square feet in total. These dimensions are specific to Prestige's Skyview Regent Suite. The Regent Suites on Explorer, Splendor, and Grandeur are around 4,400 square feet, including balconies.
Butler service begins at the Penthouse categories. For the Regent Suite, Master Suites, Grand Suites, and Signature Suites guests enjoy guaranteed reservations each night in the specialty restaurant of their choosing. The Regent Suite only includes a private car and driver in every port of call.
Dining onboard
Compass Rose is the main dining room and the most flexible menu at sea, with a build-your-own protein and sauce section alongside the nightly menu. Prime 7 handles steakhouse night, Chartreuse is the French room, Pacific Rim covers Asian, and Sette Mari converts the buffet space into a relaxed Italian dinner. All of these restaurants are included in your cruise fare.
Book the specialty rooms as soon as your booking window opens. Loyalty tier and suite category both influence how early that window is, which is a practical reason to talk before you book rather than after.
Where Regent shines by itinerary
- Alaska, where the included tours cover a lot of expensive ground
- Northern Europe and the British Isles, where port-heavy days benefit from included touring
- Japan and Asia, where private guiding is expensive to buy independently
- Grand Voyages and World Cruises for travelers with time to spend
More time ashore with Immersive Overnights
Want more time in port? Look for Regent's Immersive Overnights collection. Every voyage in that collection features at least one overnight port call, leaving room for an evening ashore or a less hurried day of exploring. Not every Regent voyage belongs to the collection, so check the actual arrival and departure times, tour availability, and distance from the berth.
How I help
I match the ship and sailing to how you travel, compare suite categories, plan your shore experiences, and arrange pre- and post-cruise stays. If you place a future cruise deposit while onboard Regent, I can help with transferring that reservation under the line's applicable booking rules.
Multigenerational families and Club Mariner
Regent can suit grandparents, parents, and children who want shared meals, comfortable suites, and time exploring together rather than a ship built around water slides and arcades. For Alaska and summer Mediterranean family trips, ask about selected Club Mariner departures before choosing your dates. The program serves ages 5 to 17 on select voyages only; contact us to confirm that your exact sailing offers it, along with session times and eligibility.
