Trip of a Lifetime with Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Last Wednesday was a day that I had been looking forward to for several weeks. I had been invited - as an influencer, along with 4 others, to come to Miami with Regent Cruises Seven Seas Cruises and tour Seven Seas Explorer! When I got the email, I immediately realized that I was in for a real treat! After that I panicked and worried about what I was going to wear!
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is the world’s most inclusive luxury experience with a 5 ship fleet that visits more than 450 countries around the world. They offer their guests every service and luxury imaginable, taking care of every detail from dietary needs to favorite beverages and well…everything in between!
Upon arrival, each guest is personally greeted and the champagne flows. The ship is so luxurious and the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. They truly want to make sure that you have nothing to worry about while onboard.
The above two photographs are views of the lobby area as you enter. As you can see, the decor is exquisite and designed with comfort in mind.
After a few minutes spent going over the plan for the day and getting to know each other, we set out to tour a couple of the suites that are available to guests. If you read my Instagram post, you know that I walked around with my mouth open most of the time…it was so beautiful and I could imagine myself as a guest, being completely spoiled.
The suite pictured includes a spa where you can receive services such as massages and facials. The staff takes care that your suite is stocked with all the things you love from your favorite liquor to your favorite coffee and snacks.
There is plenty of room for your clothing and other belongings in the spacious closets. Each suite includes spacious closets, high-end finishes, and private balconies.
There are lounges in the suite that are heated and I couldn’t resist putting on a robe and trying one out! A girl could get used to this very easily!
Regent Seven Seas Cruises prides itself on the quality of the Elite Slumber beds and luxurious (did I say that word again) bedding, ensuring that you get a fabulous rest after a day of fun and sun…or whatever else you decide to do!
Our next stop was the poolside bar where we were treated to cocktails and had the opportunity to take some pictures. I chose a glass of champagne (or should I say another glass)…
As we were ordering our drinks, some of the passengers were boarding the ship for the next voyage. They settled in quickly, choosing delicious food from the poolside buffet, taking a swim in the pool, or just relaxing in the sun with a drink. As you can imagine, everyone seemed thrilled to be there and start a new adventure.
There is no shortage of exquisite dining onboard Seven Seas Explorer with 6 restaurants to choose from as well as 24 hour room service, every craving can be satisfied. We dined in Chartreuse, which offers classic French fare with a modern twist. We had the opportunity to get to know each other just a little more and enjoy amazing food and wine as well as good conversation. It was a superb dining experience from start to finish!
The other restaurants onboard include:
Chartreuse - as I said above, Chartreuse is classic French fare with a modern twist!
Prime 7 - an intimate and elegant steakhouse with classic American fare, like prime New York strip and Alaskan King Crab
Pacific Rim - offering a diverse array of Pan-Asian dishes.
La Veranda - take in beautiful ocean views while enjoying elegant breakfast and lunch buffets in the indoor dining room or al fresco on the shaded, open-air deck.
Sette Mari at La Veranda - each evening, La Veranda transforms into Sette Mari at La Veranda, serving a delicious dinner menu of authentic Italian specialties and fine wines.
Pool Grill - a casual ambiance with delicious regional barbecues to freshly grilled fish.
Room Service - enjoy delicious appetizers, main courses and desserts…24 hours a day.
Scroll through my pictures to see examples of the beautifully presented and delicious dishes we were served!
One of the things I noticed immediately was the large collection of art displayed on the ship. This decor detail adds to the beautiful ambience as it delights you at every turn.
Each ship has a Godmother and H.S.H. Princess Charlene of Monaco (pictured below left) served as Godmother for Seven Seas Explorer.
Seven Seas Explorer has many amenities and one of those is a beautiful and well stocked library, allowing guests to choose a book and relax in the library, poolside, or anywhere else they may choose.
From what I saw, I’m sure that time spent on board the ship is equally as fulfilling as time spent on excursions. There are so many activities to fill your time from relaxing by the pool, bocce ball, afternoon tea and interesting scheduled lectures. The spaces you’ll find to enjoy yourself are all designed for complete comfort and relaxation. The Observation Lounge is pictured in the next two photographs and offers panoramic views as well as an outdoor deck.
As you all know, I love to cook and one of my favorite things about Seven Seas Explorer was the Culinary Arts Kitchen. Guests can take cooking classes tailored to the cruise destination. Each guest has a space fully stocked with necessary pots and utensils as well as a cooktop. Some of the classes even include excursions to local markets to find the freshest ingredients for making locally inspired dishes. These classes are perfect for anyone from the novice to the experienced cook!
Seven Seas Explorer offers a fitness center with classes such as Pilates, yoga and meditation. Fitness experts are there to help with the use of equipment and also offer one-on-one training. The equipment includes spinning bikes, treadmills, dumbbells, strength machines, workout mats and step benches.
For those who prefer to exercise outside, there is also a jogging track offering unforgettable views as you take a walk or jog!
Last, but certainly not least, is Serene Spa & Wellness, a haven of health, beauty and wellness. They offer a variety of treatments and services from massages to body wraps, facials, manicures and pedicures and more.
One of the things that not many people realize is that the cost of a cruise with Regent Seven Seas Cruises includes so much! Free roundtrip airfare (business class for intercontinental flights), free shore excursions, free onboard activities, free land programs, free drinks (count me in!), gratuities, and free wi-fi just to name a few. Be sure to ask about the specifics of this amazing aspect of Regent Seven Seas Cruises when booking your cruise!
My day aboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises Explorer was a magical day filled with good food, beautiful surroundings, great service and new friends. If you are looking for the perfect vacation, look no further than Regent Seven Seas Cruises…I promise…you will not be disappointed! It will be your trip of a lifetime!
