Cruise Itinerary

Day 1

Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver's allure as a cruise hub lies in its jaw-dropping natural landscape and handy position on Canada's west coast. Framed by snow-capped mountains and sparkling waters, the city's scenic harbor welcomes ships from around the world. Cruise enthusiasts are drawn to Vancouver for its seamless embarkation process and the opportunity to explore this cosmopolitan city before setting sail. With its blend of urban sophistication and outdoor adventures, Vancouver captivates visitors with its dynamic culture and picturesque surroundings, making it a must-visit destination for North American experiences.

Day 2

Day 3

Ketchikan, Alaska

The area's history is steeped in the traditions of Alaska's indigenous Tlingit people and the thriving fishing and logging industries that shaped its development. Originally known as "Kitschk-hin," meaning "thundering wings of an eagle" in the Tlingit language, Ketchikan was a vital Tlingit settlement long before European settlers arrived. With the discovery of gold in nearby creeks, Ketchikan boomed during the late 19th century Gold Rush, attracting prospectors and entrepreneurs. Timber soon became the primary industry, and Ketchikan earned the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World" due to its bustling fish canneries. Today, Ketchikan's rich history is preserved in its historic buildings, totem poles, and vibrant cultural traditions.

Day 4

Juneau, Alaska

Juneau, Alaska, is a prime destination for first-time visitors with its unique blend of stunning natural landscapes, rich history, and vibrant local culture. Nestled between the Gastineau Channel and the coastal mountains, Juneau offers easy access to breathtaking glaciers like the Mendenhall Glacier, where visitors can walk trails or kayak in iceberg-dotted waters. The city itself, accessible only by sea or air, exudes charm with its historic buildings, quaint shops, and seafood restaurants. Juneau also serves as a gateway to whale watching and dog sledding adventures, ensuring that every visitor experiences the thrill and majesty of Alaskas capital city.

Day 5

Skagway, Alaska

Skagway's history is steeped in the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th century, when it served as the gateway to the Yukon goldfields. In 1897, the discovery of gold in the Klondike drew thousands of fortune seekers, transforming Skagway from a small outpost to a bustling boomtown virtually overnight. It became a chaotic hub of activity, with prospectors flocking to its docks en route to the goldfields. Skagway's colorful past is preserved in its historic downtown, where visitors can stroll along wooden boardwalks and visit restored buildings that evoke the spirit of this storied era in Alaska's frontier history.

Day 6

Icy Strait Point

Day 7

Day 8

Anchorage, Alaska

Anchorage's history is a tale of resilience and adaptation in the Alaskan wilderness. Established in 1914 as a construction camp for the Alaska Railroad, Anchorage quickly evolved into a bustling city. Its strategic location made it a vital transportation hub during World War II and later for the booming oil industry. Anchorage weathered earthquakes, economic fluctuations, and rapid growth, emerging as Alaska's largest city and cultural center. Today, traces of its past remain in historic sites like the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the Alaska Railroad Depot, blending with modern amenities to create a dynamic urban landscape.

Marvellous

What a wonderful experience had on this trip! Good hospitality, good energy, entertainment and foods. I can get energized and all action one day, and the next I can simply relax and unwind at the spa with treatments for rest and renewal with taking a slower pace. The best of both worlds!

We had to pass Greenland on the way to Iceland, and the ports were very weak. Everything was rudimentary. We could not stop at Orkney, because they would not take out the tenders. The sea was too rough. That was a big disappointment. I wanted to seethe Scarpa flow and the historical buildings. Then we get to Reykjavik, Iceland as the last stop at 5:30. They have room for 50 people out of 750 to take to to the Blue Lagoon. So we missed the best tourist attraction. Bad planning of timing of the ports. Too many days at sea. Nice ship but I dont recommend this trip

Having had a bad experience last year with Regent, this cruise was back to the standard we know Regent for. Japan was our starting point going to Alaska which is spectacular. We ended in Vancouver. The entertainment was great, the guest speakers were knowledgeable and interesting. All the restaurants were wonderful.

We went from Miami to Honduras,Belize and Mexico. The service was good when I was with my lady friend but dropped a lot if I sat along! Often couples were served before me even though they had arrived after me. It took 3 complaints and 5 days to get good service when alone!

We’ve been with Regent 5 times before so know to expect the highest level of luxury and outstanding polite, friendly and efficient service. Their attention to detail is phenomenal and with under 500 guests and almost as many crew you can see why these cruises are vastly superior to lower cost ones. Many of the staff, and not just your suite stewards, greet you by name which is amazing when we sat at different tables and in different restaurants. On our way home we were even greeted by name and wished a safe journey at the airport by a waiter who can only of served us a few times. We like the fact you pay for the entire cruise including trips, food, wines etc beforehand so nasty surprises or big bills afterwards. The downsides? Very few but for the first time meeting and transfer arrangements from airport to hotel and then to the boat were chaotic and left many first timers to Regent unimpressed. We tried to tell people this was far from our previous experience but it gave a bad first impression. A mix up over luggage collection resulted in us carrying our own luggage onboard unaided up a long flight of steps. We needed that welcome glass of champagne! We also noticed (as is common with nearly every company on the planet) some cost cutting procedures eg a cheap biro in cabin replacing nicer pens of yore, fewer expensive dishes on the menu eg halibut, crabs legs but that is nit picking as you couldn’t fault the quality or variety of food with exciting new menus every day. Also we saw the waiters round the pool were hardworking but simply not enough of them and we often waited 20 minutes for a drink to come or a couple of times we were forgotten completely but we were relaxed and on holiday so not worried. The staff all seem genuinely friendly and want you to have a good time. There seemed to be almost as many British as Americans on this cruise and I’m guessing 98% over 50. This isn’t a cruise for young children and has none of the big screens, water slides, climbing walls you see on the larger brasher ships. There is a nice pool, 18 hole putting green and other board activities for the active. The theatre had well attended music shows and a magician. The atmosphere was always friendly but never raucous. At dinner you could choose to dine as two or “share” which was a lovely way of meeting new people. We are definitely looking forward to our next cruise, most likely with Regent!
