This limited time offer is valid in the United States and Canada for new bookings beginning on April 1, 2019. The voyages sail on Seven Seas Voyager (700 guests) and Seven Seas Navigator (490 guests), two intimate, spacious and stylish all-suite luxury ships.
In addition, 11 voyages include a free enriching pre- or post-cruise land program that will reveal both the highlights and hidden treasures of these mystical lands for a beautiful prelude or grand finale to the voyage. These three-night programs include deluxe accommodations, daily touring and exclusive activities, all escorted by local experts. For example,
—The February 8, 2020, sailing starts with the Magical Bali: Land of the Gods pre-cruise land package before sailing the southern Australia route to Sydney. Delve into the fascinating Balinese culture by visiting an array of architectural treasures such as Hindu temples, traditional villages and cultural parks that reflect daily life on the island of Bali.
—Guests sailing on the December 6, 2019, Southeast Asia voyage can discover the Angkor Wat Experience from Singapore, where, just outside Cambodia’s Siem Reap, a unique and thrilling adventure awaits in the jungles of Angkor to uncover the rich history and grand architecture of the Khmer Empire. Obscured by dense vegetation for centuries, the impressive temples of Angkor comprise one of the world’s largest religious monuments.
—The March 27, 2020, sailing from Bangkok, Thailand features a new Abu Dhabi, Dubai Dunes and Sharjah post-cruise land program to discover the intriguing history and modern development of the emirates by experiencing some of the ancient and natural wonders of Abu Dhabi and Dubai and also visiting the cultural landmarks of Sharjah.
The Elevate & Explore offer allows guests to elevate their Regent experience with an up to three-category suite upgrade so they can relax in the comfort of their suite after an immersive day discovering Asia Pacific ashore. Guests will further explore destinations through the shipboard credit, which can be used for Regent Choice Shore Excursions, offering an even deeper level of engagement through unique experiences and smaller group tours.
“These Asian Pacific voyages offer an enriching and luxurious journey uncovering hidden gems and fascinating ports with immersive shore excursions and now suite upgrades and shipboard credits added,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
