Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers for Mediterranean Cruisers

Regent is famously all-inclusive. Fares include roundtrip airfare (on select voyages), unlimited shore excursions, all specialty dining, premium beverages and wines, unlimited Wi-Fi, pre-paid gratuities, and valet laundry service.

Yes. When you calculate the cost of a luxury hotel in Europe, dining at Michelin-level restaurants, private transportation, and high-quality shore excursions, Regent’s all-inclusive fare often provides exceptional value compared to a land-based trip or a nickel-and-dime cruise.

Regent deploys several ships to the Mediterranean, primarily the ultra-luxurious Seven Seas Explorer®, Seven Seas Splendor®, and the new Seven Seas Grandeur®.

The 'shoulder seasons'—May, June, September, and October—are generally considered the best times to cruise the Mediterranean. The weather is pleasant, and you avoid the intense heat and massive crowds of July and August.

Depending on the itinerary, Regent visits Italy, Greece, France, Spain, Monaco, Croatia, Montenegro, Turkey, and Malta.

Prices vary widely based on suite category, sailing length, and season, but typically range from $8,000 to over $25,000 per person for standard suites on a 7- to 12-night voyage.

Yes. Regent includes unlimited standard shore excursions in every port. You can take as many as time allows. There are also 'Regent Choice' excursions (like private helicopter tours) available for an additional fee.

Regent frequently includes roundtrip airfare (including Business Class on intercontinental flights) for US and Canadian guests, though this depends on current promotions and specific sailings.

It depends on your interests. The Western Med is great for food, art, and iconic cities (Rome, Barcelona). The Eastern Med is perfect for ancient history and island-hopping (Athens, Greek Isles). The Adriatic is best for stunning scenery (Croatia, Venice).

Most itineraries are between 7 and 14 nights, though Regent also offers 'Grand Voyages' that combine multiple regions for 21 nights or longer.

Choose Western for Renaissance art, Tuscan wine, and the French Riviera. Choose Eastern for ancient ruins, mythology, and the dramatic beauty of the Greek Islands.

Pack elegant resort wear for the day. For evening, Regent's dress code is typically 'Elegant Casual'—collared shirts for men, blouses/dresses for women. Formal nights are optional and usually only on sailings 15 nights or longer. Comfortable walking shoes are a must for cobblestone streets.

Mediterranean itineraries are typically very port-intensive, meaning you will be in a new destination almost every day, with very few sea days.

While Regent caters primarily to adults and couples, children are welcome. During the summer months, they even offer the Club Mariner youth program on select sailings.
