Mike on his recent travel experience with Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
My wife, Ilene and I recently cruised on Regent’s fine ship the Splendor. The ship can hold 732 passengers and the nearly one to one passenger to crew ratio results in great service. Truly All Inclusive, with shore excursions, beverages and gratuities, premium restaurants, and even laundry included We love cruising without being endlessly nickled and dimed.
We flew to London and cruised from Southampton. Check in went smoothly, then we went to the ship. All cabins are Veranda/Balcony Suites- no inside cabins or window only. The itinerary included England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The highlights include London with its endless charm and history. Southampton with its history including the ill-fated Titanic departure. Newcastle, where Ilene explored a mine (I am too big). In Edinburgh we explored the 1000-year-old castle with the Scottish crown jewels. Invergordon where we visited Loch Ness (monster did not make an appearance). St Michaels Mount near Cornwall was very beautiful. In Belfast, we had already seen the iconic Giants Causeway but visited the area of unrest including the wall and saw where the Titanic was built. Belfast was very interesting, as was our visit to Wales. Of course, when we stopped at Cork we went to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. As usual with Regent, we hated to leave the ship. Our next Regent cruise is in Japan in October 2025. Fortunately, we booked early as this cruise is nearly filled. Always good to book early.
We would love to help with your next cruise, tour or resort stay.
