Absolutely beautiful. It is impossible not to imagine how many talented designers are part of such a grandiose project like this ship.

Pretty amazing cinematography - I'm only 26 years old and have sailed on Explorer 3 times, and going on Splendor early 2024 for a 15 night cruise. This video is very accurate to the experience i've had with Regent. Its the best of the best. I've subscribed :)

[@FraserAtSea]

Hey Matthew, out of curiosity, how do you find yourself from an age POV on Regent - are you significantly younger, or would I be surprised?

[@MatthewBoro]

I was by far the youngest couple onboard the ship, with the other guests maybe being in their mid to late 40s for the youngest i've seen onboard. There were a few well behaved children onboard, but we stood out by being the youngest couple. We usually book (at bare minimum) Penthouse C cabins to enjoy the larger room and having a personal butler is a great touch. I've sailed Royal Caribbean since i'm about 5 years old and thats really the only cruise line i've ever experienced because I loved the megaship concept. We then experimented with mid-luxury lines like "The Haven" on NCL, "Yacht Club" on MSC, and "The Retreat" on Celebrity. I found that for the money we were spending on mid luxury cruises, it almost came out to the same cost of a Regent cruise with first class airfare and drink packages, wifi, ect. The level of service provided was good, and food was great on mid luxury, but there was so much nickel and diming, and to feel really secluded, you kinda have to stay in the "ship within a ship" concept. We decided to try Regent for our Honeymoon and it completely changed our perspective of cruising. We were able to secure a good deal during "covid" for a penthouse C suite on the Explorer and i'm never going to turn back. The level of service, food quality, and how quiet the ship was really gave me a good sense of relaxation and luxury. The Serene spa was so outstanding and relaxing, I had 2 massages per day. Excessive I know, but with our generous onboard credit allowance, it got eaten up quickly LOL!!!! While we were the youngest onboard, it didn't bother us whatsoever. All the guests onboard were lovely - polite and respectful! It was amazing to see a nice and quiet pool deck without blaring music. I will likely try other ultra luxury lines like seabourn and maybe Silverseas in the future, but with Regent coming out with yet another new ship later this year, i might just be sticking with Regent moving forward. I'm sailing on Explorer next week for Alaska, and Splendor early 2024 for a Mediterranean sailing. I also plan on booking a few more regent cruises for 2025 and 2026. If you need any more info please let me know! Happy sailing.

@@MatthewBoro wow thanks for sharing your knowledge. I usually travel with hotel brands like Aman, Rosewood, FS etc, but never had a cruise. What do you think will be the perfect cruise for a first timer like me? I'm 39 years old and have a small daughter.

[@visitwithus]

[@westhavenor9513]

I highly recommend the Superior suite, as the best bang-for-the-buck. King size bed, separate tub and shower, double vanity, walk-in closet. And if you have money to burn, you certainly won't be disappointed in any of the fancier suites either.

[@visitwithus]

Pretty sure that any suite on a Regent ship is going to be lovely 😊 But like you say if you have the money then why not 🤷 Thanks for watching 😊

[@ewallace791]

Wow! Stunning. Great video showcasing this amazing ship. Maybe one day...

[@visitwithus]

Thank you 😊 And thanks for watching 👍

[@OVTraveller]

Hi Richard and Helen, I was totally enraptured by your discovery of the spaces on this magnificent craft. Being a confirmed cruiser, I had to replay your great video to the spot where you Richard mentioned 750 fellow passengers.... curious as we saw few if any in you excellent presentation. Having had the advantage of expedition cruises and a Silversea craft with only 75% occupation, can I ask how you and Helen enjoyed the cruise with full occupation of all approx. 350+ suites? Love your stuff, keep posting please?

[@visitwithus]

This ship has the most space per passenger of any other ship we’ve sailed on and it felt like it. Never any problem finding a seat and plenty of quiet spaces to retreat to. We always strive to film the ship with few or no passengers in it as we like the ship to speak for itself (as well as respecting other guests privacy while they’re on vacation). So while there were more passengers than you see on our video the ship handled them very well and it never felt crowded. The only exception to this is maybe in the speciality dining venues where you definitely need to book in advance as they did fill up. Thanks for watching, commenting and following along 👍

[@chucknorris8704]

I don't much care for the luxury elements, but those individually lit tables at the theatre was so cool. THat elevator shot was extremely cool too! Great cinematography overall, as usual.

[@visitwithus]

[@westhavenor9513]

I've sailed on Splendor twice now. Very nice experience. Great cocktails, great staff, wonderful gym, all-inclusive pricing. While the food is excellent and probably the best on a cruise ship, it's still doesn't compare to your best local, independent foodie restaurant. Also, Regents is no place for kids or the younger party crowd--there's just not enough to do. Passengers are mostly retired/almost retired empty nester couples, upper middle-class to wealthy, primarily Americans and some British too. Average age is about 60. Newest ship, Grandeur, sails starting Nov. 2023.

[@visitwithus]

There were quite a few young couples on our cruise and even some multi-generational families with teenage children. Suppose it just depends on what time and year you go and maybe the itinerary 🤷 Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@westhavenor9513]

@@visitwithus Both ours cruises had some kids, extended families and a few younger couples too. Sorry, didn't mean to imply that Regents is a floating retirement home ;) There were also folks from several nationalities, but primarily US & UK.

There will be a written blog published on our website in the next couple of weeks so keep an eye out for that - it might be of some use. Have a great cruise and thanks for watching 👍

[@PiaAdora]

She’s a beautiful ship, for sure. But I’ve heard mixed reviews of the actual experience. Looking forward to hearing what you thought of it all.

[@visitwithus]

Thanks for watching 👍 Hopefully we will have an experience review video our some time in the near future. But generally much more positive than negatives 👍

[@jeffbaydalmusic6851]

Beautiful video! Is there anyway we can see you do a review like this on a crystal cruises?

We would love to try the relaunched Crystal ships. Nothing planned at the moment though but 🤞

[@accessiblecruise]

Great video as always. Just wondering what you or your viewers thought about accessibility for wheelchair users on this ship? Anyone had any first hand experience on this or other regent ships?

[@visitwithus]

Whilst we can’t comment specifically (sorry) there really is a lot of space on this ship and we can’t imagine that accessibility would be an issue. Sorry we can’t be of more help.

[@phrewilly8556]

Excellent video and review! How was the dress code, especially for evening dining and activities?

[@visitwithus]

Dressy but not too formal. Would say most guests dressed for dinner but refined elegance rather than very dressy 👍

[@dorischwaiger6643]

[@ManWhoLovesTheMary]

This ship is ri-dik-i-lis. I’m wondering if this is the one featured in this three part TV special series originally from 2016, I believe, highlighting the expensive aspect of the ship. I remember one scene where the cruise director(?) got on some of the crew for nearly knocking over a vase worth several $100k or so! I may be exaggerating…but I very well may NOT be exaggerating! It definitely looks like there is some extravagant detail in every corner. It’s super eccentric while being somehow quite minimalist indeed. How trippy. If you said it was one of the biggest ships in the world, I might believe you. So spacious and dreamily ephemeral. Or maybe that’s just an affect of the production quality.

[@visitwithus]

You are nearly right, we think the TV series was on the Splendor’s almost identical sister, the Explorer 👍

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Richard and Helen. Well that was the first time I've ever heard the mention of Logan's Run, describing a most posh 21st century cruise ship. You are really ageing yourself. I watched that series myself as well. I wonder, did you write this review script whilst walking through your local Tesco ?? Do you also have the very same (Sci-Fi) Film collection? I've never seen Logan's Run on a DVD anywhere !! he he he ( 55 in 7 days from tomorrow - July 31st ) Yup Harry and I share the same birthday.

[@visitwithus]

Haha! Nice to hear form you again Jeremy! Long tim no speak! Hope you're OK. :) To be fair, Logans Run was ALMOST before my time (I was a toddler at the time it was on TV) but I'm a bit of a sci-fi fan so... ;)

[@jeremy1350]

@@visitwithus Hi Rich. I've been watching all along. If you were a toddler when Logan's Run was on, that means I am older than you are. I guess I was in middle school when Logan's Run aired. That would be end of the 70's into the early 80's. I turned 55 on July 31st, just a little while ago. Hope you and Helen are well. Time to get on Silver Nova, yes?

[@stephendondershine5761]

Beautiful cinematography. Did you say there was going to be a culinary episode for Regent? Don’t see anything in your playlist…

[@visitwithus]

Thank you for watching. The dining guide hasn’t been released yet but rest assured, when it comes it will be delicious! 😍😅

[@xr6lad]

Absolutely beautiful ship but it did feel a bit ‘cold’ like a museum. More for admiring. Not sure if it was due to when you filmed and the lack of passengers in most segments? Coincidentally only watched Logan’s Run on last month!

[@visitwithus]

There were plenty of passengers on board but we always strive to protect guests privacy by filming when there’s no-one about - after all it’s the ship that’s the star not us passengers 😆 Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@RobinH8869]

It looks gorgeous but so is the price. So if the choice was 1 week on Splendor or 2 weeks on Viking which would you go for?

[@visitwithus]

Good question Robin! If we really wanted to spoil ourselves, were maybe celebrating a special occasion and could catch a bargain then probably Regent but also very happy on a Viking 😍

[@mrpwebbie]

surely Rodders Grandad and Delboy coulda installed the chandelier quicker

[@visitwithus]

😂😂😂

[@awesomehli]

Non-heated aft pool?! Unforgivable choice. NO outdoor bow view?! Another unforgivable choice. What a contrast of blatant & glaring WRONG design/features against an otherwise beautiful ship. I am torn. The COMPLETE isolation of bow view deck space reserved for a handful of suites on an already ultra-lux ship is the epitome of excess and favoring design purely for marketing/pr stunts.

[@awesomehli]

By the way-- fantastic video!

[@visitwithus]

The observation lounge has nice bow views and the pool was probably cold since we were in Northern Europe and went in it on a very cold day 🥶 It’s a stunning ship and you shouldn’t be put off of sailing on her, she has so much to offer 👍

[@visitwithus]

Thank you for watching 😊

[@westhavenor9513]

The aft pool is salt-water, and is heated, not like a bathtub, but perhaps in the low 80'sF. I quite liked it because I have chemical-sensitive skin. It was seldom in use, even on a full ship. And yes, there's unfortunately no access to the forward deck, but it's not because of those suites. It's actually reserved for staff use, most likely because it's pretty windy and cold there anyway, and perhaps less safe than other areas.

[@brianlivesey981]

This is extremely worrying, Logan's run, sub-aquatic vibe. Are you worried? A "lie" down on a bench with a man with a white coat? Don't bother speak to the wife.

[@visitwithus]

Haha! To be fair, Logans Run was ALMOST before my time (I was a toddler at the time it was on TV) but I'm a bit of a sci-fi fan so... ;)

[@kahuna1999]

This video seems like a Regent promotion. I’m guessing you were paid via a free cruise, in exchange for shamefully positive review. We need to hear the bad along with the good. Yes I’ve sailed Regent, they are not perfect, by a long shot.

[@visitwithus]

This is a ship tour video not an experience review therefore we didn’t really give an opinion on anything, rather just showed you around the ship. Thank you for thinking it’s professional enough to be promotional material but rest assured that while Regent did comp our stay they had no control over our content and did not pay us in any other way. We will be producing an experience review video some time in the near future which will give an honest and balanced review of our time on board but that wasn’t the purpose of this video. Thanks for watching.
