Is Regent Seven Seas Worth It?

Most cruise lines advertise a fare. Regent advertises a final price. That's a bigger distinction than most travelers realize, and it's the most common question we get:

"Is Regent really worth it?"

We did the math. Here's what the numbers say.

Regent Seven Seas at a Glance

The Cruise Web Advantage: Our cruise experts can help you compare Regent fares against what you'd actually spend on a premium line for the same itinerary, so you're working with real numbers, not estimates.

What Makes Regent Different?

Regent Seven Seas positions itself as The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience at sea, and it's not just a tagline. Every suite, on every ship, on every sailing includes unlimited shore excursions, all beverages (including fine wines, craft cocktails, and specialty coffees), every restaurant onboard, unlimited Wi-Fi, pre-paid gratuities, and valet laundry service.

There are no drink packages to debate, no excursion budgets to manage, and no surprise charges waiting for you at the end of your voyage.

The fleet is also entirely all-suite, all-balcony. Even the entry-level Deluxe Veranda Suite starts at 300+ square feet with a private balcony — significantly more space than what you'll find in a standard balcony stateroom on most premium lines.

The Real Cost: Regent vs. Premium Cruise Lines

This is where it gets interesting. We compared a 10-night Mediterranean cruise on Regent's Seven Seas Splendor against average costs from popular premium cruise lines. Here's what the numbers look like per person:

Comparison based on a 10-night Mediterranean sailing. Premium line averages reflect published pricing from multiple cruise lines. Pricing is illustrative and not guaranteed on all sailings.

Here's what surprises most travelers: if you're already planning to purchase a drink package, book 3–4 excursions, and pay daily gratuities on a premium line, you're not just paying luxury prices — you're paying more than luxury prices without the luxury experience. At that point, Regent isn't an upgrade. It's the smarter buy.

The Regent Fleet

Regent sails seven ships, each designed around spacious suites, intimate guest counts, and high crew-to-guest ratios.

• Seven Seas Prestige — The newest addition to the fleet and Regent's first new ship class in a decade, debuting in 2026 with expanded suite categories and the largest all-inclusive suite at sea.
• Seven Seas Grandeur — Launched in 2023, blending modern elegance with Regent's signature style.
• Seven Seas Splendor — A refined masterpiece with one of the highest space-per-guest ratios in cruising.
• Seven Seas Explorer — Once dubbed "the most luxurious ship ever built" at launch.
• Seven Seas Voyager — The first all-suite, all-balcony ship in the industry.
• Seven Seas Mariner — A beloved favorite among repeat Regent guests.
• Seven Seas Navigator — The most intimate ship in the fleet, ideal for unique itineraries and smaller ports (and the only ship in the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet that offers Deluxe Window Suites)

The Verdict

Regent Seven Seas isn't for every budget. But if you're already planning to buy drink packages, book excursions, and pay gratuities on a premium line, you may actually spend more — not less — than you would on Regent, and get a smaller suite with fewer inclusions.

Most guests who make the switch tell us the same thing: "I wish I'd done this sooner."
