Seven Seas Splendor

This ship was top-flight! EVERYTHING that we needed or wanted was provided - sometimes even before we knew we needed it. I have been on different Cruise Lines through my years and this is # 1. My spouse forgot her meds and within days they were replaced The foods and different Restaurants were Excellent !! I would highly recommend any of the Shore excursions 5 stars. This is top notch. But …stay away from the Boutiques. They’ll kill you with their deals

There are several ways to explore Africa, land packages, yes, rail yes, a cruise. Also, yes! There is a market for cruisers in Africa, it is so special to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. You are at the bottom of the world! It is incredible! There is a trade off for the experience, but a great introduction to those who always wanted to go, but were overwhelmed on where to stay, maybe didn’t want the full, twice a day game drives, If you don’t HAVE to see all 5 of the Big Five, then yes! A cruise may be the perfect answer for you! We sailed on the Regent Splendor round trip Cape Town South Africa 12/6-12/21. We visited Walvis Bay Namibia, Port Elizabeth, Durban, Richards Bay, Mossel Bay South Africa and our stop in Mozambique was suspended, due to a political uprising. There are 5 choices of evening restaurants, Sette Mari, Compass Rose, Pacific Rim, Prime 7 and Chartreuse. We also did a Culinary Brunch class in the Culinary Arts Center, which was amazing. I had 70 in my group and had a galley tour and a cocktail party. The guests were all so nice and we had fun running into each other around the ship. Our galley tour was not what I had hoped it to be. The ship gave us choices of game drives, or cultural experiences as excursions. the difference betwen staying on as reverve or visiting for the afternoon affects what animals you see, as they are most lively in the early morning and at dusk. But the Rhinos Elephants, Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Impalas, Cheetah & Lion were a sight to be seen! Definately can see the differences in quality of each lodges operations. Overall a fabulous trip and I would return anyday any time!!

It is a pleasure to cruise on Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The dining is excellent, the service is excellent, and the entertainment has improved significantly. While on board we had the pleasure of seeing Belle Voci twice, female duo opera singers who competed in the finals of BGT. The production shows are are excellent as the talent is surprisingly good. The size of the Category F Suites are 400+ sq. ft. with a walk in closet, two sinks in the bathroom, and a separate tub and shower. Sette Mari is one of my favorite restaurants onboard. It is Mediterranean/Italian and all meals are prepared in full view. Veal chops are amazing. No nickel and diming. Can you imagine your laundry done each day coming back folded and wrapped in tissue or on hangers, no charge...complimentary. The staff is well trained and service oriented.

Over all our cruise with The Regent , SS Splendor, has meet our expectations. My cabin attendant, Rivvy was so awesome and his helper( I forgot her name.) The staff was all very nice and helpful . Leaving the cruise was a little unplanned but know it is your first journey there and understandable. Willie, the excursion ticket person was very patience and nice. Enjoyed his attitude. We did miss an excursion but did get refunded which I felt that it was very nice of The Regent, good customer service.

This ship is beautifully appointed with spacious cabins, outstanding dining venues and multiple comfortable bars and lounges. The entertainment program was excellent, and the spa offered an extensive set of services. Staff at all levels were pleasant and professional.
