"Not sure why as the new cruise terminal in Brisbane has been operating since cruising started back up in Australia.To Sum up, too many days at sea and I suspect Regent along with the rest of the cruise industry is still suffering the after effects of Covid lockdowns and struggling to get back to pre Covid standards...."Read More

We were fans of Crystal Cruises and were looking for a replacement after Crystal folded. We had hoped that Regent would offer a similar experience. It did not. The room (we were the lowest price expensive category) was very small apart from the balcony and there was limited storage. I had to keep half of my clothes in my suitcase under the bed. We have had more storage on lesser priced ships. We ...

We chose this Tokyo-to-Tokyo 2-week Regent cruise based on its active itinerary, and friends who invited us to join them during cherry-blossom season. We added the 3 days in Tokyo before the departure. Our high expectations were dashed upon landing at Narita. The Regent Transport had 3 busses in the parking lot, yet didn't want to board a150 passengers until all of our flights arrived! Chaos ...

We chose this cruise so that both my wife & I could experience some places neither of us have been before, and I could revisit a few ports/experiences I enjoyed just under 50 years ago when I was in the Navy. Embarkation in Tokyo was interesting. Well done, but extremely unique. At the pristine Tokyo Cruise Terminal, we were first received in a large open room where, behind folding tables, ...

Let's start with the things that the Regent Seven Seas Explorer gets right: 1. The ship was phenomenal! From its size, number of passengers, decor, variety of restaurants, spa, room service, two pools, free laundry service, bathroom (specifically the huge shower and soaking tub, 2 vanities) and our spacious balcony - these things were all wonderful. 2. Staff...the sheer number and the ...

New Zealand passed requirements for cleaning ship’s hull’s to prevent invasive species from entering their territorial water’s in 2018. We are currently on the RSSC Explorer for a 2 week cruise from Auckland to Sydney. The sailing just before us was to start in Sydney and was to end in Auckland. That sailing was denied entry into New Zealand waters due to RSSC Explorer hull ...

Regent Seven Seas Cruises proudly claim to provide an unrivalled experience. There are two ways of looking at that as I recently discovered. We joined the Regent Seven Seas Explorer on 12 December 2022 in Singapore for the cruise titled ‘Coastal Beauties of the Pacific’ which completed in Sydney on 29 December and on the same evening departed on a cruise which was to end in Auckland. A ...

This was our first cruise on RSSC Explorer and we were hoping it would live up to it's 6 star rating. Unfortunately it did not. However, we did enjoy the ship, the food and the entertainment ( leaving aside the comedian). We booked the 3 day pre cruise in Singapore and I for one enjoyed myself not having been to Singapore in 20 years, so much has changed and so much more to see. Marina Bay ...

We chose this cruise because it had ports on Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. We had read many great reviews about Regent having sailed on Oceania the sister company now owned by NCL. This ship was supposed to be a trip of life time. Embarkation was delayed due to disorganized by Regent at the port in Singapore. When we finally were bused to the port passengers were still getting off. ...

The Viking ad is correct. What there is not enough of is time. We booked the extended Regent cruise from Singapore to Auckland. Australia had several stops. Most of which were kept. New Zealand in 2018 passes a requirement for all ships entering their waters to have their hulls cleaned prior to doing so. Yet Regent never could arrange for it. Upon being noticed that the Seven Seas was barred ...

We signed up for this cruise in 2020. We hoped by end of Oct. 2022 things with Covid would have settled down. Since this was to be our 6th Regent cruise, 2nd on Explorer, we believed the tours would be very good and safe. We believed we needed to be careful in many parts or the world now. Especially since we are in our seventies and walk a bit slower. We believed Regen would take good care of us ...
