Free business class, anniversary savings with Regent

With 2012 marking the line’s 20th anniversary, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has added increased value on 36 Mediterranean voyages, offered from April through October. Depending on the cruise, travellers can enjoy bonus savings of up to $8,000 per suite when booked by March 31. As part of the limited time offer, guests in Penthouse and higher suites receive free upgrades to Business Class on transatlantic flights. Guests in deluxe suites can upgrade to Business Class for $999 each way. Travellers can choose from seven-, 10- and 14-night itineraries aboard the 700-guest, all-balcony, all-suite Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner. New seven-night itineraries from Lisbon to Monte Carlo depart Aug. 23, and from Monte Carlo to Venice, departing Aug. 30. Both cruises can be combined for a two-week itinerary calling at many of the Mediterranean’s most popular ports. And, from cycling through the Konvale Valley in Croatia to touring the exclusive Jean Leon Winery outside Barcelona, more than 20 new shore excursions have been added to the list of complimentary tours available to each Regent guest. Also debuting this year, concierge-level guests (categories E and above) on Seven Seas Mariner (beginning April 2) and Seven Seas Voyager (beginning April 16) will enjoy enhanced amenities such as priority online access to shore excursion and specialty dining reservations; an upgraded, pre-cruise luxury hotel package; 15 minutes of free phone calls and 60 minutes of free Internet access per suite; in-suite binoculars, coffee brewer and cashmere blanket; and more.
