The Prodigy Verdict
The Pinnacle of All-Inclusive.
Seven Seas Explorer was designed to elevate the standard of ultra-luxury cruising. The ship is notoriously lavish, featuring over an acre of marble and hundreds of crystal chandeliers. The defining characteristic of Regent, however, is the pricing model. Fares generally include unlimited shore excursions, fine wines and premium spirits, specialty dining, prepaid gratuities, valet laundry, and even business-class airfare on intercontinental flights. It is a genuine luxury hotel experience at sea.
- Luxury travelers who despise nickel-and-diming.
- Food enthusiasts seeking high-end specialty dining without upcharges.
- Guests who prefer spacious, all-suite accommodations with large balconies.
- The upfront price point is high compared to premium lines.
- Nightlife is subdued; entertainment focuses on quiet conversation and cabaret.
- With a smaller footprint, there are no large-scale amusement attractions.
