A First-Person Look at Ultra-Luxury Cruising
You know that feeling when you slip into a five-star hotel suite, but instead of a city view, you have the endless expanse of the ocean outside your window? That’s just the starting point of what it’s like to sail with Regent Seven Seas Cruises—widely considered the most prestigious cruise line in the world.
I’ve been fortunate to experience some of the finest cruise lines on the planet, but there is something undeniably different about Regent. Maybe it’s the sheer level of detail, the all-inclusive perks that redefine luxury, or the fact that every crew member seems to remember my name. Or perhaps, as Addison Jaynes, founder and CEO of Reliant Cruising, likes to say, “Luxury isn’t just about what you get; it’s about what you never have to ask for.”
So, let’s dive into why Regent Seven Seas is the very definition of prestigious cruises and why, if you’re considering an ultra-luxury voyage, this is the line to book. (Oh, and don’t book direct—trust me, you want the VIP treatment that only Reliant Cruising provides. More on that later.)
What Makes Regent Seven Seas the Most Prestigious Cruise Line?
Luxury isn’t just about caviar and champagne (though there is plenty of that on board). It’s about seamless, stress-free travel, exceptional service, and a level of exclusivity that few cruise lines can match. Here’s why Regent Seven Seas sits atop the list.
1. All-Inclusive Everything (Yes, Really Everything)
Many cruise lines throw around the term “all-inclusive,” but Regent takes it to another level. Forget nickel-and-diming—when you book a Regent cruise, you get:
- Unlimited shore excursions (over 450 options, including exclusive cultural experiences)
- Free business-class airfare on intercontinental flights
- Fine wines, premium spirits, and specialty dining
- In-suite dining, including full-service meals from any restaurant on board
- Pre-paid gratuities (so you’re not reaching for your wallet every time you order a drink)
- Valet laundry service (because who wants to do laundry on vacation?)
- Suites with private balconies (no windowless cabins here)
The Regent Difference: A Closer Look at Shore Excursions
One of the standout perks of a Regent cruise is the sheer number of shore excursions included at no extra cost. Whether you want to explore ancient ruins in Rome, take a private wildlife safari in South Africa, or indulge in a wine-tasting tour in Bordeaux, Regent has something for everyone.
Even better? The excursions aren’t just bus tours with a headset. These are expertly curated, immersive experiences led by knowledgeable guides who ensure you get an authentic taste of each destination.
2. Prestigious Cruising: The Most Luxurious Ships at Sea
Regent’s fleet is composed of small, ultra-luxury ships, allowing them to offer one of the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the industry.
Take the Seven Seas Splendor, for example. This 746-guest masterpiece isn’t just a cruise ship—it’s an architectural marvel. From the $200,000 custom-made bed in the Regent Suite to the hand-crafted Murano glass chandeliers, no detail is overlooked.
The Regent Suite: The Pinnacle of Luxury
For those who want the best of the best, the Regent Suite is an experience unto itself. Spanning over 4,400 square feet, it comes with its own private spa retreat, unlimited spa treatments, a personal butler, and a custom Hästens Vividus bed worth more than a luxury car. Staying here isn’t just about accommodation—it’s about an experience reserved for the most discerning travelers.
3. The Culinary Scene is Next-Level
If you think cruise food is all about buffets and mass-produced meals, think again. Regent’s restaurants rival Michelin-starred establishments. You can indulge in French cuisine at Chartreuse, savor a perfectly aged steak at Prime 7, or dive into authentic pan-Asian flavors at Pacific Rim.
And let’s talk about the Compass Rose menu, where you can completely customize your meal from protein to sauce to preparation style. It’s like dining at a five-star restaurant where the chef tailors each dish just for you.
4. Unparalleled Itineraries with Overnight Stays
The world is vast, and Regent lets you explore it in style. The 2027 World Cruise: World of Splendor aboard Seven Seas Splendor is a jaw-dropping 140-night journey spanning 6 continents, 40 countries, and 72 ports. Talk about prestigious cruises! Highlights include:
- Overnights in Bali, Dubai, and Sydney
- Sailing through the Panama Canal and Suez Canal
- Exploring 73 UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Now, tell me: When was the last time you took a trip that covered three oceans and 35,668 nautical miles?
Why You Should Book The Most Prestigious Cruise Line Through Reliant Cruising (and Not Directly)
Now that you’re (rightfully) convinced that Regent Seven Seas Cruises is the most prestigious cruise line, let me tell you a little secret: Booking directly with Regent is fine. Booking through Reliant Cruising is game-changing.
Why? Because Addison Jaynes and his team live and breathe ultra-luxury cruising. Here’s what you get with Reliant:

- Access to special promotions that aren’t publicly available
- Concierge-level service from start to finish, ensuring every aspect of your trip is seamless
Trust me on this: You don’t want to navigate the intricacies of an ultra-luxury cruise booking on your own.
