JOURNEY
Discover the definition of true luxury at sea on a Regent cruise round the Mediterranean
THERE are many ways to travel the world, and in fact, many ways to set sail on a voyage of discovery if you fancy holidaying at sea. But there’s nothing quite like a Regent Seven Seas Cruises ® cruise.
Setting sail with Regent takes cruise holidays to unparalleled levels of splendour, on one of the most inclusive luxury experiences at sea, where every imaginable detail is not only taken care of but done so with the utmost panache.
When you embark on a Regent cruise, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world that seamlessly blends discreet, attentive personal service and lavish surroundings with the freedom and flexibility to define how you would like to spend your holiday. It is cruising as it should be, without compromise.
That means true luxury at every turn: a small fleet of four elegantly appointed ships combines spacious, all-suite accommodation, boasting some of the most generous private balconies at sea, with the intimate ambience of the finest boutique hotels.
It means you’ll be looked after by friendly, familiar faces during your stay on board, who rapidly learn your personal preferences, whether that’s how you like your drinks served, seating you at your choice of table at dinner or setting your towel just so on your poolside sunlounger.
The price you pay when you book with Regent is the final cost of your cruise: no levy on air travel, no hidden extras for transfers from airport to ship, no surcharge for speciality dining, no premiums for branded spirits and fine wines, no additional supplement for evening entertainment and no charges for Wi-Fi, which is available at all times for all guests, throughout the ship.
GENEROUS HOSPITALITY
ALTHOUGH the initial price tag of your holiday may appear higher than the offer from other cruise lines, once you experience the generous levels of hospitality and included experiences, without any supplementary charges, you’ll be pleasantly surprised and delighted by the comparative value.
Indeed, Regent has set the bar for all-inclusive cruising at unprecedented heights, also including unlimited shore excursions throughout your holiday, so
you can relax and pursue every possible adventure you desire in myriad destinations, without constantly totting up your expenditure.
Take, for example, the Regent Mediterranean Grandeur and Grace cruise, a magnificent, seven-night passage departing from Rome (Civitavecchia) and concluding in Monte Carlo, via Amalfi/Positano, Lipari, Cagliari (Sardinia), Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona and Saint-Raphaël.
This enchanting itinerary, sailing on the supremely sophisticated Seven Seas Voyager, encompasses some of Europe’s cultural highlights and offers the chance to explore historic cities, discover other lesser-known gems and enjoy unique experiences in each destination – all included in the price of your cruise.
ADVENTURES ABOUND
VISIT a family-owned winery near Ravello for a cellar tour and tasting, or take a small pleasure boat cruise along the beautifully rugged Amalfi coast to Positano. Take a private motor boat from Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands, along the north coast of Sicily, and head for Vulcano to discover the volcanic landscape, black sand beaches and sulphuric, thermal wells.
Wander through the beautifully preserved ruins of Nora, Sardinia’s first town, founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century bc, and discover thermal baths, a stunning Carthaginian temple and Roman villas with intricate mosaics.
Sail on to Mallorca and head to the picturesque village of Soller on the north coast, taking a ride on the renowned old-fashioned train that wends through the orange and olive groves of the verdant Tramutana Valley. Or take a tour of a local factory and discover how artisans have used a closely guarded secret method since the 19th century to make lustrous Majorcan ‘pearls’.
In Barcelona, head off to explore the city’s world famous landmarks, including Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces, or indulge your inner oenophile on a specialised wine tour to Sant Sadurni d’Anoia in the Penedés region.
Leaving Spain, you’ll head for Saint-Raphaël on the French Rivieria, to explore this glamorous sun-drenched coast: enjoy a boat ride to St Tropez, take a Provençal wine tour with visits to two distinguished châteaux, or drive to the famous Golden Corniche in Cannes and explore the Old Town and Festival Palace, home to the famous film festival.
As you wave goodbye to the sumptuous surroundings of Seven Seas Voyager, having enjoyed true luxury at sea, and a wealth of incredible shore experiences, you’ll be free of the burden of a final bill, leaving you only with magical memories of your Regent Seven Seas Cruises ® cruise.
