If you’re ready to upgrade your vacation to something more refined, relaxing, and all-inclusive, Regent Seven Seas Cruises is the perfect introduction to first-time luxury cruising. Known for its personalized service, spacious suites, and curated shore experiences, Regent offers incredible journeys that are easy to love and hard to forget. Here are five of the most inviting itineraries for travelers looking to dip their toes into the world of luxury at sea.
Mediterranean elegance

A Mediterranean cruise is a classic first-time luxury experience, and Regent elevates it with overnight stays, smaller ports, and immersive excursions. Sail between iconic destinations like Barcelona, Venice, Santorini, and the French Riviera—without ever having to pack and repack your bags. Onboard, enjoy fine dining inspired by the regions you explore, and ashore, take part in curated experiences, like private vineyard tastings, guided tours through UNESCO sites, and sunset catamaran sails off the coast of Mykonos.
Caribbean comfort & beauty
The Caribbean cruise is a perennial favorite for good reason, but Regent’s version delivers something more: smaller ships, less crowded ports, and elevated service at every turn. Picture yourself unwinding on the beaches of St. Barts, exploring Dutch colonial architecture in Curaçao, or snorkeling through turquoise waters in St. Lucia—all while returning to your suite each evening for an elegant meal, spa visit, or cocktail under the stars.
Northern Europe & fjord adventures

For travelers who love old-world charm and epic natural beauty, Regent’s Northern Europe cruises offer an unforgettable entry into luxury cruising. Sail past the towering cliffs of Norway’s fjords, explore the cobbled streets of Tallinn and Bruges, or take in the design-forward culture of Copenhagen and Stockholm. With fewer crowds and longer days during summer, it’s an ideal way to enjoy Europe at a slower, more thoughtful pace.
Tips for first-time luxury cruisers
- Choose the right cabin: Regent is all-suite, so there’s no bad choice—but higher-category suites often come with added perks like butler service or private dining experiences.
- Plan excursions early: Shore excursions are included, but the most popular ones fill up quickly. Your Sharon Carr advisor can help secure your spot in advance.
- Pack for elegance: While Regent cruises are relaxed, certain restaurants and evenings may call for cocktail attire—so plan accordingly.
- Take advantage of amenities: From daily wellness classes to unlimited shore excursions, spa treatments, and onboard lectures, the ship is part of the destination.
