Regent Seven Seas: Elevate Your Eastern Caribbean Escape

Imagine the Caribbean. Not the crowded, postcard-version, but a more refined, intimate reality. Picture a turquoise so vivid it seems imagined, lapping against shores of pristine, powder-soft sand. Feel the gentle trade winds carrying the scent of frangipani and salt as you sip vintage champagne from the private balcony of your exquisite suite. This isn't a dream; it's the tangible, everyday reality aboard a Regent Seven Seas cruise through the Eastern Caribbean—a journey that redefines the very essence of luxury travel.

For over two decades, we've guided discerning travelers to the world's most breathtaking destinations, and we can say with absolute authority: no one curates an all-encompassing sea voyage quite like Regent. It’s a world where every desire is anticipated, every detail is perfected, and every moment is yours to savor. Forget the nickel-and-diming of other cruise lines. This is a sphere of true, liberating luxury, where your only task is to relax and immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of the islands.

In this guide, we will pull back the velvet curtain on what makes a Regent Eastern Caribbean escape the undisputed pinnacle of tropical voyages. We’ll explore the magnificent ships, the epicurean delights, and a sun-drenched itinerary that promises not just a vacation, but a profound transformation.

The Regent Difference: Beyond All-Inclusive to All-Encompassing Luxury

The term "all-inclusive" is used liberally in the travel industry, but on Regent Seven Seas Cruises, it's an understatement. They call it "An Unrivaled Experience®," and it’s a promise they deliver with flawless execution. This is a fundamental shift in the cruising paradigm, designed to remove every friction point, leaving only pure, unadulterated enjoyment.

So, what does this truly mean for you? It means:

• FREE Roundtrip Business Class Air on intercontinental flights from the U.S. and Canada. Your journey into luxury begins before you even step on the ship.
• FREE Unlimited Shore Excursions. This is perhaps the most significant differentiator. You are not limited to one or two included tours. You can explore a historic fortress in the morning and snorkel a vibrant coral reef in the afternoon, all included.
• FREE 2- or 3-Night Land Programs on select voyages, allowing for deeper immersion in iconic departure or arrival cities.
• FREE Specialty Restaurants. Indulge in world-class French cuisine, a classic American steakhouse, and more—no cover charges, no hidden fees.
• FREE Unlimited Beverages, including fine wines and premium spirits, available anytime, anywhere on the ship.
• FREE Pre-Paid Gratuities. The warm, intuitive service you receive is genuine, not motivated by an expected tip.
• FREE Wi-Fi. Stay connected with unlimited access for all suite categories.

This all-encompassing philosophy extends to the very atmosphere on board. With some of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the industry, the ships never feel crowded. Service is not just attentive; it's psychic. Your favorite cocktail appears before you ask, your suite stewardess knows just how you like your pillows, and every interaction is marked by genuine warmth. You can begin exploring specific itineraries and pricing right now using the intuitive Cruise Booking Toolbar at the top of this page to see how this incredible value comes to life.

Your Sanctuary at Sea: A Glimpse into Regent's Exquisite Suites

Your private space on a Regent vessel is more than a cabin; it's a sanctuary. Every single accommodation is a suite, and every suite boasts a private, furnished balcony. This is your personal perch from which to watch the sunrise over Antigua or enjoy a quiet breakfast as you sail into the chic harbor of St. Barts.

Step inside, and the commitment to luxury is immediately apparent. European king-sized Elite Slumber™ beds are dressed in the finest linens. Spacious walk-in closets with personal safes provide ample room. The marble-appointed bathrooms are stocked with high-end amenities, many featuring both a full-size bathtub and a separate glass-enclosed shower.

A Suite for Every Style

• The Veranda & Deluxe Veranda Suites: These suites offer a generous and beautifully appointed living space, a private balcony, and all the signature amenities that define the Regent experience. They are a perfect introduction to unparalleled luxury.

Your butler can assist with unpacking, make reservations, and even host a private cocktail party in your suite. The space is significantly larger, with a more expansive living area perfect for relaxing after a day of exploration.

A Culinary Journey Through the Caribbean and Beyond

Prepare for a gastronomic odyssey. Regent Seven Seas Cruises treats dining not as a necessity, but as a central pillar of the travel experience. With a range of open-seating restaurants, you are free to dine when, where, and with whom you wish. Best of all, the specialty dining experiences that command a premium on other lines are completely complimentary.

Signature Dining Venues

• Compass Rose: The flagship restaurant is a marvel of sophisticated elegance. While it offers nightly specials and classics, its true innovation lies in the ability for you to design your own entrée from a vast selection of premium proteins, sauces, sides, and accompaniments.
• Prime 7: An intimate and luxurious American steakhouse. Savor a perfectly aged USDA Prime steak, Alaskan king crab legs, or a whole Maine lobster in a setting reminiscent of a private members' club. Reservations are essential for this popular venue.
• Chartreuse: This restaurant transports you to a chic Parisian fine-dining establishment. Indulge in modern French gastronomy with dishes like roasted rack of lamb with rosemary persillade or sea scallops with black truffle and asparagus.
• La Veranda & Sette Mari: By day, La Veranda offers a stunning buffet for breakfast and lunch with indoor and al fresco seating. By night, it transforms into Sette Mari, serving authentic and delectable Italian specialties with ocean views as your backdrop.

The commitment to quality is uncompromising. From the fresh local fish brought on board in port to the sommelier-selected wines that flow freely, every meal is an event.

Charting a Course for Paradise: An Exemplary Eastern Caribbean Itinerary

While the ship is a destination in itself, the Eastern Caribbean provides a breathtaking stage. A Regent itinerary is thoughtfully curated to blend iconic ports with hidden gems, ensuring a perfect balance of discovery and relaxation. Here is a glimpse of what a 10-night journey might entail:

Day 1-2: Embark in Miami & A Luxurious Day at Sea

Your journey begins in vibrant Miami. After a seamless embarkation, you’ll settle into your suite and explore the magnificent vessel. Your first full day is spent at sea, the perfect opportunity to indulge in the ship's amenities. Perhaps a Balinese massage at the Serene Spa & Wellness™, a cooking class at the Culinary Arts Kitchen, or simply relaxing by the pool with a cocktail in hand.

Day 3: San Juan, Puerto Rico: A Tapestry of History and Flavor

Wake up to the sight of the formidable El Morro fortress guarding the entrance to San Juan Bay. Step ashore and wander the blue-hued cobblestone streets of Old San Juan, a UNESCO World Heritage site. With Regent's included excursions, you could join a guided walking tour of the historic city, venture into the lush El Yunque Rainforest, or partake in a rum-tasting journey at a famous distillery.

Day 5: Gustavia, St. Barts: The Jewel of the Caribbean

The anchor drops in the impossibly chic harbor of Gustavia, where mega-yachts line the quay. This is the playground of the rich and famous, and you'll feel right at home. Your included options might range from a catamaran sail along the coast to simply securing a lounge chair on the famous Shell Beach. The afternoon is perfect for browsing the duty-free designer boutiques that line the harbor.

Day 7: St. John's, Antigua: The Island of 365 Beaches

Known for having a beach for every day of the year, Antigua is a haven for sun-seekers and history buffs alike. Explore Nelson's Dockyard, the only continuously working Georgian dockyard in the world, a beautifully restored piece of naval history. Or, opt for an excursion to one of its legendary beaches, like Dickenson Bay, for an afternoon of pure bliss on white sands.

Day 8: Philipsburg, St. Maarten: A Duality of Cultures

Experience two distinct European cultures on one tiny island. The Dutch side, Sint Maarten, is known for its lively casinos and shopping in Philipsburg. The French side, Saint-Martin, offers a more subdued, gourmet-focused atmosphere in towns like Marigot. A popular excursion is a trip to Maho Beach to witness the spectacular sight of jets landing just feet above your head.

This is just a sample of the wonders that await. The beauty of Regent's unlimited shore excursions is the freedom to choose your own adventure each day without ever seeing a bill. Inspired by this journey? Let us tailor an itinerary just for you. Plan Your Eastern Caribbean Adventure.

Unforgettable Days, Enchanting Nights: Life Onboard Your Regent Ship

Between ports of call, your time on board is as enriching as you wish it to be. Days at sea are a canvas for relaxation and engagement. You might attend an insightful lecture from a historian or naturalist, refine your palate at a wine tasting, or simply find a quiet nook in the library with a good book.

As evening descends, the ship comes alive with a sophisticated energy. Enjoy pre-dinner cocktails and conversation in one of the elegant lounges, accompanied by the gentle melodies of a string quartet. After a magnificent dinner, take in a full-scale musical production in the two-tiered Constellation Theater or try your luck in the stylish casino. The ambiance is always convivial and refined, never loud or overwhelming. Have a quick question about the onboard entertainment or spa services?
