There’s no better way to discover what makes Regent Seven Seas Cruises so special than hearing from someone who has experienced it firsthand. One of our valued travel partners recently returned from their very first Regent Seven Seas Cruises voyage aboard Seven Seas Splendor and kindly shared their experience with us.
Sailing on a seven-night itinerary from Lisbon to Monte Carlo with her mum, she discovered that true luxury isn’t simply about beautiful surroundings—it’s about feeling completely relaxed from the moment you step onboard.
Effortless Embarkation
From arriving at the cruise terminal in Lisbon to stepping onboard with a glass of champagne in hand took less than ten minutes.
“Having cruised on many different cruise lines over the years, I can honestly say it was the smoothest embarkation experience we’ve ever had.”
Watching Seven Seas Splendor sail beneath Lisbon’s iconic bridge from her private balcony provided the perfect beginning to an unforgettable voyage.
The Regent Difference
Throughout the week, what stood out most was the effortless nature of the experience. There were no crowds or queues—simply beautifully designed spaces to relax and enjoy. Whether returning from an excursion, enjoying time by the pool or settling into one of the ship’s oversized loungers, there was always room to unwind.
Luxury with Regent isn’t just about what’s included—it’s about how it makes you feel.
One particularly memorable moment came while sailing away from Tangier when dolphins were spotted swimming alongside the ship—a lifelong cruising wish finally fulfilled.
Exceptional Dining at Sea
Dining proved to be one of the highlights of the voyage, particularly an evening at Prime 7.
“The steak was the best I’ve ever had, cooked perfectly and accompanied by impeccable service.”
Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, every meal was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared, offering the consistency and quality guests have come to expect from Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
A Luxurious Home at Sea
Staying in a Concierge Suite elevated the experience even further. Complete with a spacious balcony, marble bathroom and luxurious bedding, it quickly became a favourite place to relax between destinations. Included valet laundry service was another welcome luxury that made travelling feel wonderfully effortless.
Service That Makes All the Difference
Above all else, it was the exceptional crew that made the greatest impression. Every interaction felt warm, genuine and personal, with thoughtful touches throughout the voyage making guests feel truly looked after.
“Before sailing, I understood the features that make Regent special. After experiencing it firsthand, I understand something much more important—how Regent makes guests feel. Relaxed. Valued. Looked after. Free to simply enjoy every moment of their holiday.”
