Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Regent suits luxury travelers and couples marking a major milestone who want a genuinely all-inclusive fare — suite accommodations, unlimited excursions, all dining and drinks, and gratuities — without needing to track a running onboard bill.
A Bit of History
Regent Seven Seas Cruises was founded in 1992, growing out of two earlier luxury cruise operators, and built its identity specifically around an all-inclusive luxury model at a time when most cruise lines, including other luxury operators, still itemized shore excursions and premium dining as extra charges.
The line's all-suite, all-inclusive positioning — extending even to unlimited free shore excursions, one of the most expensive line items on most competitors' fares — has made it a consistent presence at the top of luxury cruise rankings since.
What Makes Regent Seven Seas Cruises Different
Regent built its entire brand around making 'all-inclusive' actually mean it — unlimited free shore excursions alone typically save thousands of dollars per person compared to a nominally cheaper competitor's à la carte pricing, which is why per-night fares that look startling at first glance often compare favorably once every add-on elsewhere is priced in.

Onboard Amenities
All-inclusive fare structure
Unlimited shore excursions, all specialty dining, premium drinks, gratuities, and Wi-Fi are included in the base fare.
Free unlimited shore excursions
Unlike nearly every competitor, standard shore excursions at every port carry no additional charge at all.
Canyon Ranch Wellness spa
A branded wellness partnership offering spa treatments and fitness programming.
All-suite accommodations fleet-wide
Every cabin on every ship is a suite with a private veranda, with no lower category to book down to.
Business-class air credits
Select fares include a credit toward business-class flights to the embarkation port, an unusual inclusion at this level.
Small-ship, low-density design
Regent's ships carry meaningfully fewer guests per square foot than mainstream or even most premium competitors.
Hidden Gem
Unlimited excursions at less-popular ports
Because excursions are free and unlimited, booking the less-marketed, smaller-group options (rather than the headline tour) often means a better guide-to-guest ratio at no extra cost.
Things to Know Before You Book
Gratuities
Fully included in the fare — no daily charge, no expectation of additional tipping beyond personal discretion.
Shore excursions
Standard excursions at every port are included with no limit; a smaller number of premium/specialty excursions carry an extra charge.
Dining and drinks
All specialty restaurants and a broad selection of premium wine and spirits are included, not just a base beverage tier.
Pre-cruise hotel stays
Select fares include a pre-cruise hotel night at the embarkation port, reducing flight-timing stress.
Booking timing
Because so much is bundled into the fare, comparing Regent's sticker price against a mainstream line requires adding up everything you'd otherwise pay separately.
