In the words of Lisa Pile, vice president sales & general manager, Asia Pacific, Regent Seven Seas Cruises:
For over 30 years, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has curated an
unrivalled experience for discerning globetrotters. Our sustained
engagement with loyal patrons and valued travel partners provides a
unique insight into the evolving tastes of our guests. In recent times,
there's been a noticeable shift towards authentic flavours, locally
sourced ingredients, and specialty cuisine unique to each destination.
A feast for every palate
Pacific Rim presents elevated and refined Pan-Asian cuisines.
Regent has set the gold standard in luxury travel, offering
personalised on-board services and immersive destination experiences.
The demand for diverse dining options, from French finesse at Chartreuse
to the classic American steakhouse Prime 7 and the Pan-Asian haven
Pacific Rim, reflects the evolving palate of our guests. Whether
dressing up or dining casually, we cater to every taste.
La Veranda, with its breathtaking sea views, offers an informal yet
chic setting for elegant breakfast and lunch buffets. For those desiring
the comforts of their suites, our round-the-clock room service ensures
the same personalised experience as dining in our restaurants.
Responding to elevated expectations, we’ve introduce Epicurean
Perfection – a series of initiatives catering to every diet, thirst, and
taste. From plant-based meals to perfectly aged steaks, our newest
ship, Seven Seas Grandeur, embodies this with over 130 new dishes across seven exquisite dining venues.
Regent has also unveiled 11 new Epicurean Spotlight Voyages, promising incomparable experiences with culinary maestros.
From immersive shore excursions to hands-on cooking classes, these
cruises aim to provide unrivalled culinary adventures onboard and
ashore.
From Broadway to Baobabs
The Compass Rose onboard Seven Seas Grandeur is designed to look like an enchanted forest.
After the maiden voyage of Seven Seas Grandeur on 18 November 2023,
Regent's response to evolving entertainment preferences has been a
resounding success. With four spell-binding productions in collaboration
with world-renowned talents, including Grammy winners and Broadway
directors, we've elevated our entertainment offerings to a new standard.
Looking ahead to 2025-2026, the Voyage Collection promises new
marvels and old mysteries. Overnights in Tokyo, Doha, and Seoul offer
deeper cultural immersion, while adventures span from icy shores to
Madagascar's baobabs. The collection features sailings ranging from
seven nights to the epic 154-night 2026 World Cruise, with exciting
additions like new ports in Madagascar and transits through the Panama
Canal on Seven Seas Grandeur.
As we continually evolve, listening to guest feedback, forecasting
trends, and enhancing our product, the allure of Regent Seven Seas
Cruises lies in the constant excitement and uniqueness of our
ever-evolving journey.
