Other African destinations also feature in the Grand Mediterranean Odyssey, which includes a call in Alexandria, Egypt, and the Grand South America Mosaic, which rounds Cape Horn and sails along the Atlantic coast before crossing to the Antarctic Peninsula.

The 2027–2028 season also sees the launch of Regent’s Legends of the Pacific, a 133-night World Cruise aboard Seven Seas Splendor. All itineraries will open for booking on May 7th, 2025, with pre-registration available from April 23th.

“It’s evident that luxury travellers are placing more value on their time than ever before, seeking out exhilarating and bucket list destinations on long, lingering voyages that discover contrasting cultures, compelling histories, and tantalising cuisines,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises. 

“Guests will explore the world in ultra luxury, with our crew providing the highest possible standards of service throughout spacious, lavishly designed restaurants, lounges, and suites,” he added.

The voyage features 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 6 overnight stays, and 3 ports new to Regent: Alofi (Niue), Vava’u (Tonga), and Port Denarau (Fiji).
