What is included in a Regent Seven Seas fare?

Nearly everything: unlimited shore excursions in every port, all specialty dining, all beverages including premium spirits and fine wines, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and valet laundry. Many fares also include flights, and top suite categories add door-to-door chauffeur transfers and a pre-cruise hotel night. Spa treatments, boutique purchases, and a small set of ultra-premium wines and Regent Choice excursions cost extra.

Is Regent really the most inclusive cruise line?

Regent has trademarked the phrase The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience, and on the substance the claim holds: no other luxury line bundles unlimited shore excursions in every port into every fare. Seabourn and Silversea match Regent on drinks, gratuities, and dining; the excursions and air program are where Regent goes further.

Which Regent ship should I choose?

For most first-time Regent guests, the Explorer-class trio — Explorer, Splendor, Grandeur — is the clearest expression of the modern brand. The older Mariner and Voyager deliver the same inclusions at often gentler fares. Prestige is the pick for travelers who want the newest hardware and don't mind inaugural-season pricing.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises: The Complete Fleet Guide (2026)

Q: What is Seven Seas Prestige?

Seven Seas Prestige is Regent's first new ship class in a decade, arriving December 2026. At about 77,000 gross tons for 850 guests, she is the line's largest ship and carries the Skyview Regent Suite of roughly 9,000 square feet — the largest suite ever built for a cruise ship. Sister ships are on order into the 2030s.

Q: Does Regent allow children?

Yes, children are welcome, and a seasonal Club Mariner youth program runs on select summer and holiday sailings. In practice the onboard atmosphere is adult, quiet, and enrichment-led; families are a small minority outside school holidays.

Fleet at a glance

Regent runs a compact, all-suite fleet — The World's Most Luxurious Fleet®, as the trademark puts it, and the company has spent thirty years being undeniable enough to keep the ® honest. Three generations sail today: the legacy trio from the turn of the century, the modern Explorer class, and the incoming Prestige class. Every ship is all-suite; nearly every suite has a private balcony.

Ship	Delivered	Size	Guests
Seven Seas Navigator	1999	~28k GT	496
Seven Seas Mariner	2001	~48k GT	~700
Seven Seas Voyager	2003	~42k GT	~700
Seven Seas Explorer	2016	~56k GT	~750
Seven Seas Splendor	2020	~56k GT	~750
Seven Seas Grandeur	2023	~56k GT	~750
Seven Seas Prestige	Dec 2026	~77k GT	850

The order book runs deep: Prestige-class sisters are contracted into the 2030s, the first following in 2029. One transition to know about: Regent has signaled that Seven Seas Navigator, the fleet's smallest and oldest ship, is approaching the end of her Regent career as Prestige arrives — if Navigator's intimate scale appeals to you, sail her sooner rather than later.

How Regent scores

Regent is the tier's answer for travelers whose scarcest resources are time, attention, and patience for logistics — not money. It scores at the ceiling for luxury, food, and effortlessness, and low for families, because almost nothing aboard is built for children. These are fit scores, not quality scores.

Seabound Fit Profile · Regent Seven Seas 1–10 scale

These are fit scores, not review scores. A low "Families" score means the line is not built around children — not that it's low quality. Regent is among the most consistently excellent products in all of travel for the guest it targets.

One honest note on "Value": Regent's headline fares are the tier's steepest-looking, but they're also the most complete. Price a comparable trip elsewhere — suite, air, transfers, drinks, tips, and a full slate of daily excursions — and the gap narrows dramatically, sometimes to zero. The fare isn't expensive because it's padded; it's expensive because it's finished. See the fare decoded.

The fare, decoded — read this before anything else

On most lines "what's included" is a footnote. On Regent it's the entire product, so it goes first. The company was born in 1992 as Radisson Seven Seas — a hotel company's idea of a ship — and the finest instinct a great hotel has is that the guest should never see the machinery. Regent extended that instinct until it swallowed the flights, the tours, and the entire concept of an onboard bill.

Included in every fare: unlimited shore excursions in every port (some voyages carry more than ninety to choose from), every restaurant with no cover charges, all beverages including premium spirits and fine wines, in-suite mini-bar restocked daily, gratuities throughout, unlimited Wi-Fi, and valet laundry. The 2008-era decision to fold unlimited excursions into the fare — made in the teeth of the financial crisis, while every competitor was trimming — remains the line the whole tier navigates around.

Included on many fares and categories: flights (with business class on many international itineraries), transfers between airport and ship, and a pre-cruise hotel night in Concierge suites and above. On top suite categories, the trip begins at your front door, where a private chauffeur collects you.

Still extra: spa treatments, boutique purchases, casino play, a short list of ultra-premium wines and spirits, and "Regent Choice" excursions — small-group or once-in-a-lifetime tours that carry a supplement. The edges of "everything" exist; they're just unusually far away.

Why this matters more than any ship

Every included item is a decision you'll never make and a logistic you'll never run. That's the actual product. The unlimited excursions aren't there because ninety tours is a sensible number for anyone — they're there so choosing never has a cost. You wake up in a port, you go, or you don't. That's the entire transaction.

Ship by ship

Three generations, one standard. The differences are hardware vintage and scale — the inclusions, service level, and crew ratio (close to one crew member per guest) hold across the fleet.

◆ The legacy trio · 1999–2003

Navigator · Mariner · Voyager

The ships that invented the all-balcony suite.

496–700 guests28k–48k GT3 shipsAll-suite

Mariner made history in 2001 as the world's first all-suite, all-balcony ship — the template the entire luxury industry now follows. Voyager refined her; Navigator, the smallest and most intimate, slips into harbors the others can't. All three have been repeatedly refurbished to keep pace with the Explorer class, and they routinely carry the fleet's most exotic long itineraries. Fares often run gentler than on the newer trio — same inclusions, older bones.

Best for

Value hunters who want the full Regent fare at the fleet's friendliest prices, and collectors of far-flung itineraries.

The newest hardware matters to you — and note Navigator's Regent days are numbered as Prestige arrives.

"The most luxurious ship ever built," three times over.

~56k GT~750 guests3 ships375 suites each

The modern Regent: marble by the acre, multimillion-dollar art collections, five specialty restaurants, and the famous Regent Suite — roughly 4,400 square feet with its own spa and a Steinway. Explorer (2016) set the template and was billed at delivery as the most luxurious ship ever built; Splendor (2020) and Grandeur (2023) refined it. Grandeur, the newest, commands the fleet's premium pricing. This is where most first-time Regent guests should start.

Best for

First-time Regent guests, design-conscious travelers, and anyone celebrating something — this is the clearest expression of the modern brand.

Skip if

You're price-sensitive within the tier — the legacy trio delivers the same fare structure for less.

Seven Seas Prestige — the next chapter, arriving December 2026

Regent's first new class in a decade is the most consequential launch in ultra-luxury this year — and completely on brand: when Regent finally built a new ship, it built the maximum one.

At roughly 77,000 gross tons for 850 guests, Prestige is the fleet's largest ship with one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in the industry. Her headline act is the Skyview Regent Suite — approximately 9,000 square feet, nearly double her predecessors and the largest, most expensive suite in the history of cruising. A Renaissance-inspired Starlight Atrium anchors the interior, with new dining and wellness concepts throughout.

She debuts with a maiden transatlantic from Barcelona to Miami in December 2026, followed by a Caribbean season and a move to the Mediterranean for summer 2027. Sister ships follow from 2029, with the class contracted into the 2030s. Inaugural seasons on Regent sell to past guests fast — if Prestige is your ship, move early.

Advisor's honest note

First seasons of first-in-class ships carry premium pricing and occasional new-ship wrinkles as crew and systems settle. If you want Prestige at her polished best rather than her newest, summer 2027 Mediterranean is the smarter window. If being aboard first is the point — and for many Regent loyalists it is — book the crossing.

Suites — Unrivaled Space at Sea®

Every accommodation in the fleet is a suite, nearly all with private balconies, and they run among the largest at sea — another trademark, Unrivaled Space at Sea®, that the hardware backs up.

Deluxe & Concierge Suites — the entry tiers, already generous (roughly 300+ square feet plus balcony on the modern ships). Concierge level adds the pre-cruise hotel night and earlier booking windows for dining and excursions — a meaningful perk on a line where the included excursions are the product.

Penthouse Suites — real living space plus personal butler service; the sweet spot for travelers who want the full white-glove treatment without top-category pricing.

Named Suites (Seven Seas, Grand, Signature, Master) — expansive one-of-a-kind accommodations at the corners and crowns of each ship, with the deepest perks including included chauffeur transfers on many fares.

The Regent Suite — one per Explorer-class ship, ~4,400 square feet with an in-suite spa, Steinway grand, and a private dining room hosting invitation-only dinners. On Prestige, the Skyview Regent Suite doubles the concept. These book out years ahead at six figures per couple on long itineraries.

Seabound's suite take

Because the fare is identical at every tier — same excursions, same restaurants, same drinks — the honest question is space and booking priority, not access. Concierge is the smart floor for most guests (that hotel night and earlier reservations earn their keep). Penthouse buys the butler. Above that, you're buying square footage and romance, both of which Regent sells better than anyone.

Dining & the onboard day

Every restaurant is included, every night, with no cover charges — the question is never whether you can dine somewhere, only when.

Dining. Fleet staples include Compass Rose (the grand main room, with a menu built for endless combination), Prime 7 steakhouse, Chartreuse (classic French on the modern ships), Pacific Rim (pan-Asian, Explorer class), Sette Mari (Italian, evenings), and La Veranda for casual meals. Reservations for specialty venues open by suite category — one more reason Concierge-and-up earns its keep. Room service, including course-by-course in-suite dining from Compass Rose, is included around the clock.

The day. Enrichment lectures, guest speakers, and a civilized evening rhythm — production shows exist and are polished, but nobody books Regent for the theater. The real entertainment is the ports, which is exactly how the line designs it: the unlimited excursion program makes every port day a buffet of included choices, from coach tours to small-group Regent Choice options at a supplement.

Seven Seas Society

Regent's loyalty program, the Seven Seas Society, tiers benefits by nights sailed — recognition events, onboard savings, and at senior tiers meaningful perks like included pre-cruise hotel upgrades and free unlimited laundry (yes, even beyond the included valet service).

Advisor tip

Two levers matter more than the published ladder. First, corporate kinship: Regent sits within Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings alongside Oceania and NCL, and history with the sister brands can warm up a Regent conversation — always ask. Second, Regent's best economics often hide in back-to-back and Grand Voyage fares rather than discounts; the line rarely slashes prices, but it layers value (air upgrades, shipboard credit) generously. A good advisor stacks these. Verify current terms for your sailing.

Where Regent sails

Roughly 550 destinations worldwide — the Mediterranean and Northern Europe in summer, Caribbean and Panama Canal in winter, Alaska in season, plus Asia, Africa, the South Pacific, and a marquee World Cruise that sells out years ahead.

The deployment logic is classic luxury: Explorer-class ships anchor the marquee Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons, the legacy trio ranges farther afield on longer, more exotic routings, and Alaska gets a dedicated summer presence. The World Cruise — around 130+ days, all-inclusive down to the chauffeur — is one of the most complete single purchases in all of travel, and behaves like it: segments release to past guests first and vanish.

A practical note: because excursions are included and unlimited, port-intensive itineraries maximize the Regent math. A sea-day-heavy crossing is lovely aboard, but a ten-port Mediterranean run is where the fare's value compounds daily.

Who Regent fits — and who should look elsewhere

Regent's a strong fit if you…

Want a trip that asks absolutely nothing of you — no planning, arranging, or asking
Value included excursions everywhere, unlimited, without auditing curiosity
Prefer one honest (large) number over a fare plus a running tab
Want all-suite space and near one-to-one service
Like your luxury unapologetic — trademarked, even

Consider another line if you…

Want the tier's most intimate, club-like scale — that's Seabourn
Are chasing the wildest maps at full standard — that's Silversea
Prefer paying only for what you use over total inclusion
Are traveling with children outside holiday sailings
Want nightlife and spectacle from the ship itself

Which ship should I choose?

Explorer, Splendor, or Grandeur for the clearest modern-Regent experience; Mariner or Voyager for the same inclusions at gentler fares; Prestige for the newest hardware if inaugural pricing doesn't faze you.

Does Regent allow children?

Yes, and a seasonal Club Mariner youth program runs on select summer and holiday sailings — but the atmosphere is adult and quiet, and families are a small minority outside school breaks.
