We chose this cruise to celebrate our Silver Wedding and we chose Regent as we have sailed with them previously. We like the all inclusive nature of this company. Yes, you look at the headline price and wince but you never have to pay for anything thereafter – all drinks, gratuities, excursions etc are included. Only spa treatments and shop purchases are not covered. We spent $27.00 over the course of the 20 days! Another benefit of Regent is that few announcements are made over the PA system in your suite. Thus, you are not constantly bombarded with announcements etc. On sea days, the captain updated us about our position, the weather conditions etc but that was it.

We opted out of the airfare promotion by organising our own flights to Copenhagen from Edinburgh and from Amsterdam to Edinburgh. Taking advantage of a car park deal at Edinburgh Airport and booking a taxi from City Taxis Amsterdam, payment to the driver, we saved about £200.00 per person of the published Regent fare. Sometimes it does pay to do your own thing.

We have friends who stay north of Copenhagen so we did not have the expense of finding a hotel prior to the cruise. We enjoyed a few days in North Zealand before embarking the Regent Seven Seas Navigator. Read more
