If you’re the kind of traveller who really likes to get under the skin of a destination, you probably think cruises aren’t for you. Endless days marooned at sea with nothing more culturally expanding than a cabaret on offer? Not your idea of a dream holiday. 

Or is it? Allow us to point you in the direction of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the luxury cruise line which puts as much emphasis on helping its guests create unforgettable memories of the places they have visited as it does the unparalleled luxury on board its impressive fleet.

Boasting the World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, the consummate cruise line prides itself on offering ships akin to luxury hotels on the water, with each opulent suite offering plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the stunning ocean views from private balconies. This carries through to the social areas, with vast lounges and expansive pool decks for relaxation and grand onboard entertainment spaces.

While the lavishness onboard is enticing, you’ll find that you’re not just cared for at sea. With every booking including unlimited onshore excursions at no extra cost, take advantage of Regent’s impressive collection of land programmes and you’ll have plenty of opportunities for exploration, from must-visit international treasures to hidden gems. Don’t want to constantly be checking your watch on your travels? With Regent’s curated selection of Immersive Overnights, you can enjoy exquisite voyages that allow for more time spent ashore discovering fascinating experiences in far-flung destinations, both day and night. All you have to do is make sure your camera is charged and ready to capture every special moment.

The Immersive Overnights collection

Designed for discerning luxury cruisers, each bespoke voyage in Regent’s Immersive Overnights offering has been chosen to offer travellers the chance to experience the unique culture of each port-side locale. Featuring destinations in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Asia, the Immersive Overnights excursions are offered on an array of innovative seven to 14 night itineraries sailing between October 2024 and October 2025.

Meticulously planned overnight stays and multi-day experiences will find you engaging in exciting shoreside activities – sample Croatian wines in the country’s prestigious vineyards, explore Helsinki’s breathtaking archipelago, or feel the wind in your hair as you drive along Italy’s stunning Amalfi Coast.

With included hotel accommodation, wine tastings, and Michelin-starred meals, you’ll enjoy the carefree joys of travelling both on land and at sea with Regent’s Immersive Overnights. The only dilemma? Which voyage to head on first.

Sunset Over Tuscany

The newest addition to the collection, set sail on Seven Seas Mariner from Trieste, Italy and enjoy overnight stays in Valletta, Naples, Tuscany and Provence before arriving in Barcelona. Explore the Mediterranean’s most culturally-rich destinations with captivating evening shore excursions: enjoy a sunset wine tasting and dinner hosted in an historic Tuscan estate, witness the UNESCO-listed Ggantija temples on Valletta’s Gozo Island, or spend a day in Provence’s picturesque medieval villages before taking in the unique beauty of the lavender museum.

Blossoms, Towers and Temples

A unique and thrilling adventure awaits on this round-trip cruise from Japan. Sailing from Tokyo around South Korea and China before returning to the glittering Japanese capital, it features overnight stops in Kyoto, Seoul, Shanghai and Tokyo. Gastronomes will rejoice in the unique dining experiences on offer: indulge in legendary Kobe beef cooked on an open-flame teppanyaki grill at your table or dine on a Kaiseki-style dinner accompanied by a traditional geisha performance. Stroll through Seoul and take in Shanghai’s urban landscapes or reconnect with nature at the gardens of Suzhou.

Enchantment in Northern Europe

Discover Europe beyond the tourist traps as you journey from Denmark to Sweden, with immersive multi-day stops in Copenhagen, Berlin, Helsinki and Stockholm. You’ll find yourself in historic towns and experiencing awe-inspiring natural phenomena on this 10-day cruise. Sail around Helsinki during the White Nights, when the sun barely dips below the horizon, so it never gets dark and golden hour lasts all evening. In Germany, meanwhile, the dark night sets the stage for a walk through Rostock’s Old Town with a night watchman recalling chilling accounts of the town’s murky history. For a grand finale, dine like the greats at Stockholm’s City Hall featuring a menu served at a past Nobel Prize gala.
