Regent Seven Seas Cruises makes notable changes to its package offerings, affecting the inclusivity of flights and transfers.
- The line previously included flights and transfers but has now introduced a separate ‘ultimate all-inclusive’ fare.
- New bookings after July 1 will no longer feature flights and transfers unless opting for the upgraded fare.
- The ‘ultimate all-inclusive’ fare includes additional amenities such as chauffeur credit up to $500.
- Changes reflect feedback from guests and aim to enhance the overall cruise experience.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises has recently revised its standard package offerings, which has historically included flights and transfers as part of its comprehensive cruise experience. However, moving forward, the standard offering will exclude these options, introducing a new fare titled ‘ultimate all-inclusive’.
Bookings made on or after July 1 will not automatically include flights and transfers. These will only be available under the newly introduced ‘ultimate all-inclusive’ fare, which encompasses return flights, coach transfers between the airport and the ship, as well as a private chauffeur credit up to $500. This credit can be used either for transfers between a customer’s home and the airport or to upgrade coach transfers.
The idea behind this restructuring, as stated by Regent’s President Andrea DeMarco, is to tailor the cruise experience according to what guests value most. The all-inclusive model aims to elevate the level of luxury offered both on land and at sea, ensuring each moment is custom-tailored to surpass guest expectations.
Noteworthy is the fact that bookings secured before July 1 will maintain their original inclusions, ensuring customers who have already made plans can enjoy the packages they opted for. This development indicates a shift in the company’s strategy towards offering more bespoke and flexible travel options, catering to a varied clientele with diverse preferences.
Regent’s move to amend its inclusive offerings aligns with its strategic goal to enhance the luxury cruise experience based on customer feedback.
