What the Fare Covers

Included

Shore excursions in every port, alongside all dining including the speciality restaurants, all beverages including fine wines and spirits, gratuities, wi-fi and unlimited in-suite service. Regent’s is the most genuinely inclusive fare at sea.

Not Included

Air is arranged separately. Regent moved to the Air Concierge programme, so flights are customisable at real-time pricing rather than bundled into the fare. We price the whole journey, air included, before you commit.
