Regent Seven Seas Cruises has officially announced its highly anticipated 2028/29 Legendary Journeys Collection, a curated selection of three Grand Voyages designed to offer discerning travelers unparalleled opportunities for deep immersion across multiple continents. These extensive itineraries, ranging from 61 to a remarkable 101 nights, are set to redefine luxury extended cruising, providing guests with the ultimate indulgence: time. The voyages will traverse Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, with guests having the choice of experiencing these epic journeys aboard the sophisticated all-suite, all-balcony ships: Seven Seas Mariner, Seven Seas Explorer, and Seven Seas Splendor.
The launch of the 2028/29 collection signifies Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ strategic focus on catering to a growing segment of luxury travelers who view time not merely as a commodity, but as the most precious indulgence. Wesley D’Silva, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, articulated this philosophy, stating, "Today’s luxury travelers view time as the ultimate indulgence. Time offers not only the freedom to explore more deeply but the space to truly switch off and reset. The 2028/29 Legendary Journeys Collection is thoughtfully designed with this in mind. Longer stays and fewer time pressures create a more meaningful connection to the destination, complemented by exceptional inclusions and the signature service that defines the Regent experience." This perspective underscores a shift in the luxury travel market, where the pace of exploration is increasingly valued over the sheer number of destinations visited.
A Symphony of Inclusions: Redefining All-Inclusive Luxury
The Grand Voyage offerings are meticulously crafted to ensure a seamless and comprehensively inclusive experience from beginning to end. Guests embarking on these extraordinary journeys will benefit from a suite of bespoke inclusions designed to enhance every facet of their travel.

Upon arrival at the port, guests will experience the convenience of door-to-door luggage service, ensuring a stress-free transition from home to ship.
Further enriching the pre-voyage experience, each Grand Voyage includes an exclusive shoreside event.

This commitment to immersive exploration is a cornerstone of the Regent Seven Seas Cruises experience.
Onboard, the philosophy of meticulous attention to detail and unparalleled service continues.
