1-10 of 8 Southampton to Europe - British Isles & Western Regent Seven Seas Cruise Reviews
We chose this cruise because we wanted to try Explorer and thought the ports ideal for us, especially with a Southampton start.
We boarded and both said WOW. It really is a fantastic ship. From the artwork to the furnishings and crockery.
We were 'processed' quickly at 12 noon and then to a delicious buffet lunch. Once the suites were available we unpacked and found we still had spare ...
My family of four was part of a bigger family group of 13. We had 6 suites on the 9th deck. Our ages ranged from 15 – 85 years old. This was the second Regent Cruise for most of us, the first being an Alaska Cruise on the Navigator.
My first impressions getting on the ship…
Going through the check in was very easy and relatively fast. We had traveled from London on a bus, so we only had ...
We have been on all of Regent's ships and had wanted to do this itinerary in the past, but dates and pricing never lined up. We were very pleased to be able to do back-to-back 10 day cruises through the British Isles and over to France and Spain.
The ship is very comfortable, but the staff is the best reason to sail with Regent. Every member of the crew is just as hospitable and friendly as ...
We have sailed in voyager three times. We have enjoyed every voyage very much. For us everything was perfect! We had a suite and a butler who was the epitome of efficiency. Our suite was Immaculate every day. A ceiling light bulb went out and it was changed almost before we hung up the phone to report it to our butler. Our canapés were simple but we hardly needed them. We enjoyed every ...
This is our 7th cruise on Regent, the first being in 2009. Several recent reviews have noted that they felt that the Regent experience is declining. With a few relatively minor exceptions, which I will detail below, my wife and I do not feel that this is the case. We have greatly enjoyed every one of our Regent cruises, this one being one of the better ones.

This was our fourth Regent cruise and first on Voyager. We are seasoned travelers, having been all over the world, mostly doing our own trip planning (we are 60 and 68 respectively). After our last trip to Europe in 2014, we looked forward to cruising as we know we can unpack once, not rent cars, or schlepp bags in and out of hotels. We enjoy seeing the world go by from the balcony or aft deck, ...
The reviewer "Regent Ain't What She Used To Be" provides a detailed review we entirely agree with. Unlike that reviewer we had not sailed with Regent before. Our cruise experience was with Seabourn. We believed the two cruise lines were similar. In our experience they are not.
Seabourn prides itself on the interaction between staff and clients - this is the major failing we found with Regent. ...
We sailed on the British Isles cruise in August. Luckily we had very good weather, so that helped the whole experience. All in all, we were satisfied with the ship and the service. However, they aren't up to the level of some of the other high end lines we have been on such as Seabourn and Windstar. The buffet restaurant was not well laid out for the crowds which occurred at breakfast. There was ...
