Fabulous luxury experience!

We sailed north from Tokyo across the Pacific ocean to Alaska. we had fantastic weather and the cherry blossom was very special. The Explorer was everything you would expect. Great suites, food and impeccable service. Nothing to fault at all.

Doha to Singapore

A very varied selection of stops, all the staff were very pleasant, helpful and obliging. The cruise director was fabulous. Small ship so quote intimate but could do with a little updating.

Regent Splendor is Splendid!

1st time with Regent Seven Seas and we were not disappointed. Food was exceptional service was excellent and the balcony cabin was gorgeous. First reaction to the cost is usually " wow.... that's a bit expensive" but with literally EVERYTHING included, it honestly represents good value. Looking forward to our next Regent cruise already!!

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.
