Seven Seas Explorer® is something of a snowbird, often spending the summer in cooler Northern European destinations and winters in warmer climates. The ship also cruises the picturesque Mediterranean coastlines.
This was unusual for me as my son was working on the ship but he hadn't been on long enough for a discounted rate so I had to pay. Even though I did get a discount it was still very expensive compared to my usual fare of Celebrity, Princess. P&O etc. The ship was lovely and a small ship (661 on this cruise) meant I knew lots of people. My cabin (Concierge) was lovely and spacious and the bathroom was huge, plus a giant walk-in wardrobe that would be large enough for sleeping in. However, I had to pay double as I was travelling alone which is frankly ridiculous, as I don't eat double, don't pay 2 lots of port taxes and don't drink twice as much, nor do I do double the shore excursions. Why a single supplement is more than 70% for an all inclusive ship, I will never understand! The Cruise was lovely. Ports great, entertainment was amazing with super talented people, service good. A massage cost over $300 for an hour. I paid $30 for the best massage ever at my hotel in Bali!! The Destinations Manager was shocking and assumed I was on with the lower family rates (which I was not) and therefore was apparently not entitled to complain about a realy awful shore excursion! So that left me with an overall negative impression of a brand that thinks it's clearly only for people with money. In terms of value for money, at full fare per person this is 3 to 4 times more than the more mainstream brands, although it is fully inclusive, including shore excursions. But there are some negatives. I like a kettle in my cabin and very surprisingly there was no onboard app. WiFi was open shocking even though the ship has Starlink, and daytime entertainment options were more limited. I would say there are pros and cons. But for a brand that is possibly the most expensive I would expect slightly better.
This was our sixth cruise with Regent and the fourth time on the Explorer. The itinerary was what hooked us and it was a wonderful experience. Although the Explorer just turned eight years old, it is still in very good shape in the common areas and rooms. The staff was stellar and the friendliest of all Regent cruises though that's hard to top. Everyone was always smiling and looked happy in their jobs. The food was superb and the bartenders were some of the best we have ever encountered. The singing duet in the Explorer Lounge was from the Philippines and were truly outstanding. The best entertainment on a Regent cruise ever. Many of the Free excursions were cancelled for various reasons which were never explained. In total, the trip was a great experience and we met some great people from throughout the world on the trip. It's tough to beat Regent.
