ENGAGE, + IMMERSE EXPLORE

Regent Seven Seas Cruises debuts a new way to explore.

BY AMY ROBERTS

THE joy of travel is often enriched by local experts — insiders who happily and enthusiastically share profound insights, knowledge, and understanding. These are the people who can shift a vacation from interesting to incomparable.

That’s why Regent Seven Seas Cruises has curated an Immersive Exploration program designed specifically for guests whose curiosity is as insatiable as their wanderlust. Passengers enjoy access to experts who have immersed themselves in a culture, a community, even the cuisine, and excitedly share the encyclopedic knowledge they’ve accumulated over a lifetime of learning.

Even better, because Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers more than 2,000 free shore excursions in dazzling ports of call, including hundreds of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, most Immersive Experiences are complimentary. Here are a few examples.

Go Local Tours

There’s arguably no better way to learn about a culture than to experience it as a local. Off-the-beaten-path experiences include making cheese at a family-owned goat farm in the Andalusian countryside, working alongside a local artist in their personal studio on Palma de Mallorca, or reeling in the day’s catch with fishermen in Portofino. Go Local Tours are designed to connect you with the people who help make a destination captivating.

Behind The Design Tours

Architecture defines a society. A city’s values, successes, and setbacks are often evidenced in the design of its structures. Learn more about the inspiration behind some of the world’s most celebrated architectural marvels, including the Munchmuseet in Oslo, Norway; the MuCEM in Marseille, France; and Toree Glòries in Barcelona.

Serene Spa And Wellness Tours

Utopian Zen can be found during a Serene Spa and Wellness tour. Soak the day away in one of Rome’s mineral-rich natural thermal springs, center yourself during a tai chi class on a pristine stretch of beach in the Mediterranean, or calm your mind and soul practicing yoga in the seaside town of Taormina. Serene Spa and Wellness Tours are curated to maximize relaxation, rejuvenation, and restoration while helping guests realize inner peace, blissful serenity, and utter tranquility.

ECO-CONNECT TOURS

Learn about conservation and sustainability initiatives from local community leaders in some of the world’s most pristine locations. Connect with nature in Costa Rica and Australia. Consider new ways to farm sustainably in France, New Zealand, and Argentina. Be inspired by the innovative technology that’s advancing energy production in Portugal, Iceland, and Japan.

Epicurean Explorer Tours

Designed to capture the history, culture, and flavor of each stop on the itinerary, these gastronomic adventures include bespoke opportunities led by master chefs. Passengers immerse their palates in the flavors of each destination by visiting local markets, touring wineries, and getting the inside scoop on where the pros go to indulge. Sizzling street foods, market spices drifting across an ocean breeze, the pop of a wine cork just before it’s poured — these experiences evoke a memory just as much as any photo or souvenir.
