Waking early morning as we sailed into Valetta harbour in Malta, I was amazed at the colour of the ancient sandstones as the sunrise struck the building surrounding us. Similarly, on the same trip as we sailed away from Catania Sicily after spending a day exploring Mt Etna and the beautiful village Taormina, there was an evening glow that helps to see the world as a place of mystery and magic. Sailing on the luxury ships of Regent ensures you are welcome in small ports as well as major ones, that you berth in the prime position and that you can use your days to explore the region you are travelling through.

With your shore excursions included in every port, be sure to attend the port talk the evening before to learn about where you are and to make sure you are on the list for the excursions that appeal to you. Regent design shore excursions with everyone in mind, so they offer several different small group excursions in each port of call so you can follow your interests.
Take advantage of last-minute options. Select sailings for travel between 1st December 2023 and April 2024 have up to 50% off. Be quick because there are limited sailings and limited cabins at these prices. Enjoy a pre-Christmas break sailing from Dubai to Singapore in absolute luxury with everything included from under $500 per person per day. Or enjoy the festive season on board as you sail from Singapore to Sydney. Solo travellers can take advantage of select sailings with no or greatly reduced single supplements.
Regent Seven Seas has for several years been held up as a pinnacle in luxury cruising. The six ships in the fleet are recognised in the industry as wonderful, elegant, luxury ships. With no more than 375 cabin on board, these spacious vessels offer the discerning traveller a style of travel that most of us can only dream of travelling in. Having said that these ships are truly all inclusive, so from the moment you board your cruise ship you are pampered with all meals, all beverages, tipping and your shore excursions included in the tariff. The crew on board are fabulous and you will be delighted with how quickly they get to know you and what you enjoy.
I have been fortunate to sail on both Seven Seas Explorer and Splendor. Dining on board is amazing – choose from French Chartreuse, New York-style Prime 7, fusion style Pacific Rim, the main dining room Compass Rose, Italian Sette Mari, al fresco at La Veranda... Not to mention in- room dining which is a delight, with a dining table set up in your suite and you can choose from the restaurant menus. There is a range of bars to enjoy some music and a quiet drink with friends.
These are remarkable ships, crewed by wonderful staff and at the end of you cruise you feel like you have enjoyed a wonderful holiday, that you have been pampered and that all the ingredients for a wonderful holiday were included. Fabulous!
