Overview
What’s It Like to Travel With Regent?
01 Philosophy & Personality
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is built around a simple promise: handle nearly every detail, so guests can simply explore. It’s a true all-inclusive, ultra-luxury line, and the brand describes its own style as “Heartfelt Hospitality™” — refined, warm, and attentive without being flashy or status-driven. Regent positions itself as the consummate host rather than a showcase of luxury for its own sake, and the onboard feel reflects that: polished, calm, and quietly confident, with a tagline that sums it up well — “Experience the Unrivaled.”
02Life Onboard
Every accommodation on a Regent ship is a suite — there are no interior cabins anywhere in the fleet — and roughly 98–99% include a private balcony. Ships are intentionally intimate, carrying between about 496 and 822 guests, small enough to access ports that larger mega-ships simply can’t reach. The onboard mood is sophisticated but lively rather than sleepy: production shows, a casino, dancing and live music sit comfortably alongside quiet lounges, a well-stocked library, and plenty of space to disappear with a book or a cocktail.
03Dining
Dining is flexible and pressure-free. The main restaurant, Compass Rose, has no set seating times and lets guests build personalized entrées from a range of proteins, sauces and sides. Up to six specialty restaurants — spanning steakhouse, French, Pan-Asian, Italian and Mediterranean cuisine — are included at no additional charge, though reservations are required. Regent also offers more than 200 plant-based dishes across the fleet and a daily afternoon tea service, and can accommodate most special dietary needs.
04Entertainment & Enrichment
Evenings bring Broadway-caliber production shows, live music from the Regent Signature Orchestra, karaoke and casino gaming, while daytime programming leans into enrichment: guest lectures, wine tastings, art and culture talks, and hands-on cooking classes in the Culinary Arts Kitchen. Shore excursions are a defining feature of the Regent experience — Unlimited Shore Excursions are included in every port of call, with thousands of tour options across a typical voyage.
05Service
Regent maintains a crew-to-guest ratio of nearly 1:1 across the fleet, which underpins the brand’s promise of highly personalized, anticipatory service. Butler service begins at the Penthouse Suite level and above; guests in Concierge Suites and higher also receive a complimentary one-night pre-cruise hotel package along with priority dining and excursion reservations.
06Accommodation
Suites range from the entry-level Veranda and Deluxe Veranda categories up through Concierge, Penthouse, Distinctive and the flagship Regent Suites. At the very top sits the 8,794-square-foot Skyview Regent Suite aboard Seven Seas Prestige — described as the largest all-inclusive ultra-luxury suite at sea. Every suite, regardless of category, includes an ocean view, a sitting area, a marble-and-stone bathroom, and 24-hour room service.

— Prefer a lower-cost, no-balcony cabin option — the fleet is entirely all-suite with limited exceptions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Regent cruise cost?
Fares vary widely by ship, suite category, itinerary and season, but Regent is priced as ultra-luxury, all-inclusive — expect a higher upfront number than a mainstream cruise line. Because so much is bundled into the fare (drinks, dining, Wi-Fi, gratuities, laundry and unlimited shore excursions), many guests find the effective daily cost compares well to premium cruising or a luxury land vacation once those extras are added back in. “Read our guide to budgeting for a world voyage here.”
What's included in a Regent fare?
Every Regent suite category includes unlimited beverages, specialty dining, Wi-Fi, prepaid gratuities, valet laundry, 24-hour room service and Unlimited Shore Excursions in every port. Concierge Suites and above add a one-night pre-cruise hotel package and priority reservations; Penthouse Suites and above add butler service. Enhanced excursions (Regent Choice, Go Local, Epicurean Explorer) and spa treatments carry a small added fee.
Who is Regent best suited for?
Affluent, experienced travelers — often couples in their 50s to 70s — who want a worry-free, all-inclusive luxury vacation without formality or upselling. It’s an excellent fit for guests moving up from premium lines, culturally curious travelers, and anyone who values space, personal service and destination-rich itineraries over big-ship entertainment Reserve your Voyage Consultation with us now.
Can I book a shorter segment instead of a full voyage?
Yes. While Regent is well known for its immersive longer voyages, most sailings can be booked in shorter segments to fit your schedule and budget. Your Ace Travel advisor can help identify the segment or full itinerary that best matches your goals.
Regent-Specific
Is Regent really all-inclusive, or are there hidden costs?

A small number of enhanced excursions (Regent Choice, Go Local, Epicurean Explorer), spa treatments, and any suite upgrades or flights outside the base package carry an added cost.
