Bermuda Bliss: My Unforgettable Regent Seven Seas Voyage (And Why You Should Book Now)

There’s a shade of blue that exists only in memory and in the waters surrounding Bermuda. It’s a startling, incandescent turquoise, so vivid it seems to generate its own light. I remember standing on the private veranda of my suite aboard a Regent Seven Seas ship, a flute of chilled champagne in hand, watching as this impossible color slowly enveloped us. The air, scented with salt and the distant perfume of frangipani, was a warm embrace. This wasn't just an arrival; it was an immersion into a state of pure tranquility.

For over two decades, I’ve had the privilege of sailing the world’s oceans, stepping aboard countless vessels promising paradise. Yet, the pairing of Regent Seven Seas Cruises with the sublime shores of Bermuda creates a synergy that transcends a typical vacation. It’s an elevation of travel itself. This isn’t merely about seeing a beautiful place; it’s about experiencing it in a state of absolute, unencumbered comfort, where every detail is anticipated and every desire is met before it’s even fully formed. This is the story of that voyage, and a heartfelt invitation for you to experience it for yourself.

The Regent Difference: More Than a Cruise, It's an Experience

Before we even speak of Bermuda’s pink-sand beaches, it’s crucial to understand the vessel that carries you there. Regent Seven Seas operates on a philosophy of “Every Luxury Included,” a phrase that can feel abstract until you live it. On other cruise lines, your folio can quickly become a source of anxiety—the specialty coffee, the glass of wine at dinner, the shore excursion, the gratuities. On Regent, that anxiety simply vanishes.

I’ve found that true luxury isn’t about opulence; it’s about the freedom from concern. It’s the profound relaxation that settles in when you realize everything is taken care of. Think of it this way:

• FREE Roundtrip Business Class Air on Intercontinental Flights
• FREE Unlimited Shore Excursions in every port
• FREE 2- or 3-Night Land Programs on select voyages
• FREE Unlimited Beverages, including fine wines and premium spirits
• FREE Open Bars and Lounges, plus in-suite mini-bar replenished daily
• FREE Pre-Paid Gratuities
• FREE Specialty Restaurants
• FREE Valet Laundry Service
• FREE Unlimited WiFi

This all-inclusive ethos fundamentally changes the atmosphere on board. There's no class system, no signing of checks. The crew’s smiles are genuine, their service intuitive, driven by hospitality, not the expectation of a tip. The vibe is one of a sophisticated, exclusive club where the members are interesting, well-traveled, and there to relax, not to show off.

The Voyage Begins: Sailing to Paradise

Most Bermuda sailings depart from New York, a dramatic start to any journey. Watching the Manhattan skyline recede from the stern of the ship is a cinematic experience. The sea days that follow are not merely for transit; they are a vital part of the decompression process. The world of deadlines and notifications fades away, replaced by the gentle rhythm of the ocean.

The Ship as a Destination

Regent’s fleet is renowned for providing some of the most generous space-per-guest ratios at sea. You never feel crowded. Whether you're finding a quiet nook in the library, lounging by the sun-drenched pool deck, or enjoying afternoon tea, there’s an air of serene exclusivity.

My days at sea were a blissful routine of my own design. A morning spent at the state-of-the-art fitness center, followed by a fascinating enrichment lecture on maritime history. An afternoon indulging in a restorative treatment at the Serene Spa & Wellness®, a sanctuary of calm that rivals any on land. Perhaps a hands-on lesson at the Culinary Arts Kitchen, learning to prepare a regional specialty from the ship's master chefs. This is your time, to be filled with as much or as little as you desire.

Suite Life: Your Private Sanctuary at Sea

Your home on the water is a spacious, beautifully appointed suite—and every single one has a private balcony. This is non-negotiable for me, and a cornerstone of the Regent experience. Waking up, sliding open the glass door, and stepping out to greet the ocean is a daily ritual that connects you to the journey. My Veranda Suite was a haven of comfort, with a sprawling king-sized bed, a marble-clad bathroom with indulgent amenities, and a walk-in closet that easily accommodated my wardrobe. Having coffee and pastries delivered by room service to enjoy on my veranda as the sun rose over the Atlantic—that’s a memory that stays with you.

Arrival in Eden: Discovering Bermuda's Treasures

Waking up to the sight of Bermuda is unforgettable. The island emerges from the deep blue of the Atlantic, a crescent of green hills dotted with pastel-colored homes topped with iconic white, stepped roofs. The ship glides through the narrow channels into the Royal Naval Dockyard or King's Wharf, a historic maritime hub transformed into a vibrant welcome center. And here, the true value of Regent’s all-inclusive model shines brightest.

Leveraging Regent's Free Unlimited Shore Excursions

With a multi-day stay in port, you have the time to truly explore, and with Regent, you can do so without ever reaching for your wallet. I took full advantage, curating a different experience each day.

• Historic St. George's: I joined a guided walking tour through the cobblestone alleys of this UNESCO World Heritage site. Our local guide brought the town’s 400-year history to life, from its founding by shipwrecked sailors to its role in the American Civil War.
• South Shore's Pink Sands: Another day was dedicated to the legendary beaches. A comfortable, air-conditioned coach took us to the world-famous Horseshoe Bay Beach. The sand truly has a soft, rosy hue, and the feeling of the fine coral grains between your toes as you walk into the impossibly clear water is pure bliss.
• Catamaran & Snorkel Adventure: To see the island from the water, I opted for a catamaran sail. We skimmed across the Great Sound, sipping on complimentary Rum Swizzles, before anchoring in a secluded cove to snorkel over a vibrant reef teeming with parrotfish and angelfish.

Forging Your Own Path

The beauty of a Regent cruise is the blend of curated experiences and total freedom. One afternoon, I simply hopped on the efficient local ferry from the Dockyard to Hamilton, the island's charming capital. I browsed the upscale shops on Front Street, enjoyed a leisurely lunch at a waterfront café, and felt completely immersed in the island's relaxed, refined pace. This kind of independent exploration is what transforms a trip into a true travel experience. Our team has a wealth of insider knowledge, from the best spot for a traditional fish chowder to hidden coves the guidebooks miss. When you Plan Your Bermuda Adventure with us, we infuse your itinerary with these personal, expert recommendations.

A Culinary Journey at Sea

For many discerning travelers, the quality of the dining can make or break a trip. On Regent, it is an undisputed highlight. The culinary program is exceptional, not just for a cruise ship, but by any global standard. And the best part? Every restaurant, from the grand dining room to the intimate specialty venues, is included.

Specialty Dining, No Extra Charge

Forget the hassle of making reservations months in advance or paying hefty surcharges. On Regent, you are free to dine where you wish, when you wish.

• Compass Rose: The ship's main dining room is anything but standard. The menu is vast, but its most brilliant feature is the ability to design your own entrée from a list of exquisite ingredients, cooked precisely to your specifications.
• Prime 7: An impeccable, classic American steakhouse. The ambiance is clubby and sophisticated, the service is flawless, and my filet mignon was one of the best I’ve ever had, on land or sea.
• Chartreuse: This elegant venue transports you to Paris with its modern take on classic French cuisine. The roasted rack of lamb with rosemary persillade was a masterpiece.

The experience is elevated by the sommeliers who expertly pair each course with exceptional wines from the ship’s extensive, complimentary cellar. It’s a seamless, indulgent, and utterly delicious journey each evening. If you have a special occasion to celebrate or a specific dietary need, just let us know. When you Inquire About This Sailing, we will communicate your preferences directly to the ship's maître d' to ensure a perfect experience.
