What Is A Regent Spotlight Voyage?
If you’re new to luxury cruising, you may be unfamiliar with our fully immersive enrichment experiences we call Spotlight Voyages. These special sailings allow you to take a deep dive into a specific topic, like food and wine, nature or current affairs.
This year, we are please to host two Spotlight on Ancestry Voyages to Europe, in partnership with AncestryProGenealogists®. These Spotlight Voyages feature fascinating guest lecturers, including Kyle Betit, a founder of AncestryProGenealogists®, whose research interests include immigration, DNA and genetic genealogy. In addition, guests may enjoy either a Basic Genealogy Research package that shines a light on your past or an optional Ancestral Home Visit, guided by the findings from a DNA sample and 10 hours of research.

Embark aboard our most intimate ship to the picturesque cities of Northern Europe. Make your voyage all the more exciting when your family history becomes the destination. When you choose the optional Ancestral Home Visit excursion, you will be guided all the way by an expert genealogist who has thoroughly researched your personal history. Depending on the research results, you could visit an ancestral house, farm, church or synagogue. The program includes a DNA kit and 10 hours of research by an AncestryProGenealogist.
