Delve into the Mediterranean’s delights, and you’ll be richly rewarded. Here we showcase some enriching and immersive experiences available to you with our Included & Unlimited Shore Excursions – all part of the signature Regent Seven Seas Cruises® experience.
Rome will enthral you with its exquisite sense of history, style and grandeur. Embarking on a coach and walking tour of the Eternal City, you can soak up the atmosphere and highlights of this truly magical place. Saint Peter’s Square, a vast, round plaza at the heart of the Vatican City, sets the tone. Adorned with 284 columns and 140 statues of saints, it was designed by Bernini in the 17th century. Saint Peter’s Basilica, which houses the pope’s high altar and Michelangelo’s Pietà follows – one of Rome’s most famous sights. Continuing to the ruins of the Circus Maximus, you can envisage the Roman age when chariot races, plays and public games exhilarated thousands. Finally, you’ll bask in the splendour of the Forum and the storied Colosseum, where gladiators valiantly battled.
In a hands-on cooking class, learn how to prepare several classic Montenegrin dishes and, later, dine on your delectable creations. Journeying to the village of Klinci, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive along the peninsula that separates the Bay of Kotor from the Adriatic Sea. On arrival, a short but enlightening tour of Klinci gives you an insight into life here, including its culture and history. Next, it’s time for the highlight: a cooking class held in a centuries-old family estate. In this spectacular setting, you will learn to cook a traditional Montenegrin seafood dish. You may also make kacamak, a simple potato side dish. Both will be served for lunch with a glass of local wine.
Explore Istanbul’s stunning architecture and enticing aromas with a memorable experience that takes in the key landmarks included in the city’s UNESCO World Heritage site designation. First, you’ll discover Suleymaniye Mosque, which dominates Istanbul’s skyline and remains a symbol of the Ottoman Empire. Uncover its history and the symbolism behind its four minarets before exploring the walled Topaki Palace, where Ottoman sultans resided for nearly 400 years. Marvel at its mosques, expansive harem and elaborate pavilions, where rich collections of French, Japanese and Chinese porcelain are on display. The sprawling and exotically fragranced Spice Market beckons next. Survey its seemingly endless supply of spices, dried fruits, locally made jewellery and pottery and soak up the atmosphere.

ROME (CIVITAVECCHIA)
The island of Santorini has long been revered for its blue-domed churches, windmills and captivating, white-washed dwellings which cling to its steep slopes. On this tour, you’ll discover its quintessential pleasures. The charming village of Oia is timeless; walk its narrow, cobbled streets with some time on your own and admire the stunning views of the azure Aegean Sea. For the best views of all, though, ascend the rocky caldera trail to the early 18th-century walled Mount Profitis Ilias monastery, which rests upon the island’s highest peak. Travelling to the nearby traditional village of Pyrgos, you’ll take a guided walking tour through labyrinthine lanes to a unique, circle-shaped taverna; the perfect spot to enjoy local delicacies and views of the island, the caldera’s rim and the sea.

Myriad experiences, cuisines and landscapes await your discovery. Here are some of the enriching experiences available to you with our Included & Unlimited Shore Excursions which present an ideal way to immerse yourself in each compelling destination.
Feed your passion for fine art and architecture on a tour that showcases Riga’s immense diversity. In the narrow, cobbled streets of Old Town, you’ll be surrounded by medieval and 17th–19th-century architecture. In the broad boulevards beyond, Riga reveals something entirely different – vintage German Art Nouveau with some 800 intricately designed buildings from this period, complete with many gargoyles. Touring the collection at Riga Bourse Museum, you’ll discover exquisite fine art from the mid-18th century to 1945, including masterpieces from famous Latvian painters. Encounters with other Riga highlights like the grand neo-classical Latvian National Opera, the white-domed Russian Orthodox Cathedral and the iconic Freedom Monument add depth and drama to your city survey.
Learn about life in the Viking era on this enlightening tour. You’ll travel to Aalborg, a city the Vikings founded on the narrowest part of Limfjord in the late 900s, crossing the fjord and coming to Lindholm Hoje, regarded as one of the most important Viking sites in Scandinavia. Lindholm Hoje was buried entirely in sand around the year 1000, making it extraordinarily well-preserved when finally excavated. Here in the rolling hills, you will see Viking burial grounds, the remains of houses, fences and fields littered with hundreds of ancient stone markers. More intriguing artefacts await you in the Lindholm Hoje Museum. Through reconstructions, dioramas and 3D animations, you will learn how the early Vikings lived.
This ancient capital city of Sweden’s favourite getaway island flourished as a sea-trade powerhouse during the Middle Ages. It is one of the world’s best-preserved fortified cities – with the coveted UNESCO World Heritage designation to match. A panoramic orientation spin around town reveals stunning views of the Baltic Sea and Visby’s 13th-century walls and towers. In the heart of the city, Visby’s botanical garden, which dates back to the 1850s, provides a charming stroll before an hour-long guided walk through Dalmansporten gate and into the narrow, winding streets of the medieval district. You’ll see the historical Hanseatic harbour at Almedalen and Kruttornet, the oldest tower among the 1.5-mile city ramparts, plus learn the macabre myth surrounding the building of the Maiden’s Tower.

AKUREYRI, ICELAND
Welcome to the ‘Waterfall of the Gods’. Godafoss is one of Iceland’s most impressive natural wonders, providing an incredible spectacle in one of its largest rivers. Experience a visceral thrill as you watch the waters plummeting over the edge of its 98-feet wide rim, a snapshot of nature at its most powerful. Motoring back into town, you’ll be treated to a tour of Akureyri’s Danishinspired architecture and stunning fjord-side views. A guided walk through the unpredictably lush Akureyri Public Parkland Botanical Garden follows – a surprising addition to the town given its proximity to the Arctic Circle. Yet a warm microclimate exists here that plants thrive in. After soaking up this dose of verdant Icelandic nature, your excursion winds down with some more panoramic sightseeing.
