“The best luxury voyages pair magnificent, intimate ships and gracious on-board hospitality with remarkable destinations and local immersive activities,” says Jason Montague, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ President and CEO. “That’s our approach in meticulously designing all 167 sailings in our 2020-2021 collection.”

“This new season is about destinations and explorations that excite and inspire our guests. For example, our guests may experience the Tasmanian Wilderness out of Burnie in Australia, the Etruscan Necropolises in Tarquinia in Italy, the Nazca Lines in Peru via an overflight, and the Old City of Acre from Haifa, Israel,” he added.
