It’s no wonder that all roads lead to the fascinating and maddening metropolis of Athens. Lift your eyes 200 feet above the city to the Parthenon, its honey-color marble columns rising from a massive limestone base, and you behold architectural perfection that has not been surpassed in 2,500 years. But, today, this shrine of classical form dominates a 21st-century boomtown. To experience Athens—Athína in Greek—fully is to understand the essence of Greece: ancient monuments surviving in a sea of cement, startling beauty amid the squalor, tradition juxtaposed with modernity. Locals depend on humor and flexibility to deal with the chaos; you should do the same. The rewards are immense. Although Athens covers a huge area, the major landmarks of the ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods are close to the modern city center. You can easily walk from the Acropolis to many other key sites, taking time to browse in shops and relax in cafés and tavernas along the way. From many quarters of the city you can glimpse “the glory that was Greece” in the form of the Acropolis looming above the horizon, but only by actually climbing that rocky precipice can you feel the impact of the ancient settlement. The Acropolis and Filopappou, two craggy hills sitting side by side; the ancient Agora (marketplace); and Kerameikos, the first cemetery, form the core of ancient and Roman Athens. Along the Unification of Archaeological Sites promenade, you can follow stone-paved, tree-lined walkways from site to site, undisturbed by traffic. Cars have also been banned or reduced in other streets in the historical center. In the National Archaeological Museum, vast numbers of artifacts illustrate the many millennia of Greek civilization; smaller museums such as the Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art Museum and the Byzantine and Christian Museum illuminate the history of particular regions or periods. Athens may seem like one huge city, but it is really a conglomeration of neighborhoods with distinctive characters. The Eastern influences that prevailed during the 400-year rule of the Ottoman Empire are still evident in Monastiraki, the bazaar area near the foot of the Acropolis. On the northern slope of the Acropolis, stroll through Plaka (if possible by moonlight), an area of tranquil streets lined with renovated mansions, to get the flavor of the 19th-century’s gracious lifestyle. The narrow lanes of Anafiotika, a section of Plaka, thread past tiny churches and small, color-washed houses with wooden upper stories, recalling a Cycladic island village. In this maze of winding streets, vestiges of the older city are everywhere: crumbling stairways lined with festive tavernas; dank cellars filled with wine vats; occasionally a court or diminutive garden, enclosed within high walls and filled with magnolia trees and the flaming trumpet-shaped flowers of hibiscus bushes. Formerly run-down old quarters, such as Thission, Gazi and Psirri, popular nightlife areas filled with bars and mezedopoleia (similar to tapas bars), are now in the process of gentrification, although they still retain much of their original charm, as does the colorful produce and meat market on Athinas. The area around Syntagma Square, the tourist hub, and Omonia Square, the commercial heart of the city about 1 km (½ mi) northwest, is distinctly European, having been designed by the court architects of King Otho, a Bavarian, in the 19th century. The chic shops and bistros of ritzy Kolonaki nestle at the foot of Mt. Lycabettus, Athens’s highest hill (909 feet). Each of Athens’s outlying suburbs has a distinctive character: in the north is wealthy, tree-lined Kifissia, once a summer resort for aristocratic Athenians, and in the south and southeast lie Glyfada, Voula, and Vouliagmeni, with their sandy beaches, seaside bars, and lively summer nightlife. Just beyond the city’s southern fringes is Piraeus, a bustling port city of waterside fish tavernas and Saronic Gulf views.
Although the fishing boats still go out in good weather, Mykonos largely makes its living from tourism these days. The summer crowds have turned one of the poorest islands in Greece into one of the richest. Old Mykonians complain that their young, who have inherited stores where their grandfathers once sold eggs or wine, get so much rent that they have lost ambition, and in summer sit around pool bars at night with their friends, and hang out in Athens in winter when island life is less scintillating. Put firmly on the map by Jackie O in the 1960s, Mykonos town—called Hora by the locals—remains the Saint-Tropez of the Greek islands. The scenery is memorable, with its whitewashed streets, Little Venice, the Kato Myli ridge of windmills, and Kastro, the town’s medieval quarter. Its cubical two- or three-story houses and churches, with their red or blue doors and domes and wooden balconies, have been long celebrated as some of the best examples of classic Cycladic architecture. Luckily, the Greek Archaeological Service decided to preserve the town, even when the Mykonians would have preferred to rebuild, and so the Old Town has been impressively preserved. Pink oleander, scarlet hibiscus, and trailing green pepper trees form a contrast amid the dazzling whiteness, whose frequent renewal with whitewash is required by law. Any visitor who has the pleasure of getting lost in its narrow streets (made all the narrower by the many outdoor stone staircases, which maximize housing space in the crowded village) will appreciate how its confusing layout was designed to foil pirates—if it was designed at all. After Mykonos fell under Turkish rule in 1537, the Ottomans allowed the islanders to arm their vessels against pirates, which had a contradictory effect: many of them found that raiding other islands was more profitable than tilling arid land. At the height of Aegean piracy, Mykonos was the principal headquarters of the corsair fleets—the place where pirates met their fellows, found willing women, and filled out their crews. Eventually the illicit activity evolved into a legitimate and thriving trade network. Morning on Mykonos town’s main quay is busy with deliveries, visitors for the Delos boats, lazy breakfasters, and street cleaners dealing with the previous night’s mess. In late morning the cruise-boat people arrive, and the shops are all open. In early afternoon, shaded outdoor tavernas are full of diners eating salads (Mykonos’s produce is mostly imported); music is absent or kept low. In mid- and late afternoon, the town feels sleepy, since so many people are at the beach, on excursions, or sleeping in their air-conditioned rooms; even some tourist shops close for siesta. By sunset, people have come back from the beach, having taken their showers and rested. At night, the atmosphere in Mykonos ramps up. The cruise-boat people are mostly gone, coughing three-wheelers make no deliveries in the narrow streets, and everyone is dressed sexy for summer and starting to shimmy with the scene. Many shops stay open past midnight, the restaurants fill up, and the bars and discos make ice cubes as fast as they can. Ready to dive in? Begin your tour of Mykonos town (Hora) by starting out at its heart: Mando Mavrogenous Square.
The only city in the world that can lay claim to straddling two continents, Istanbul—once known as Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine and then the Ottoman Empire—has for centuries been a bustling metropolis with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. Istanbul embraces this enviable position with both a certain chaos and inventiveness, ever evolving as one of the world’s most cosmopolitan crossroads. It’s often said that Istanbul is the meeting point of East and West, but visitors to this city built over the former capital of two great empires are likely to be just as impressed by the juxtaposition of old and new. Office towers creep up behind historic palaces, women in chic designer outfits pass others wearing long skirts and head coverings, peddlers’ pushcarts vie with battered old Fiats and shiny BMWs for dominance of the noisy, narrow streets, and the Grand Bazaar competes with modern shopping malls. At dawn, when the muezzin’s call to prayer resounds from ancient minarets, there are inevitably a few hearty revelers still making their way home from nightclubs and bars. Most visitors to this sprawling city of more than 14 million will first set foot in the relatively compact Old City, where the legacy of the Byzantine and Ottoman empires can be seen in monumental works of architecture like the brilliant Aya Sofya and the beautifully proportioned mosques built by the great architect Sinan. Though it would be easy to spend days, if not weeks, exploring the wealth of attractions in the historical peninsula, visitors should make sure also to venture elsewhere in order to experience the vibrancy of contemporary Istanbul. With a lively nightlife propelled by its young population and an exciting arts scene that’s increasingly on the international radar—thanks in part to its stint as the European Capital of Culture in 2010—Istanbul is truly a city that never sleeps. It’s also a place where visitors will feel welcome: Istanbul may be on the Bosphorus, but at heart it’s a Mediterranean city, whose friendly inhabitants are effusively social and eager to share what they love most about it.
Whilst the busy resort town of Kusadasi offers much in the way of shopping and dining – not to mention a flourishing beach life scene, the real jewel here is Ephesus and the stunning ruined city that really take centre stage. With only 20% of the classical ruins having been excavated, this archaeological wonder has already gained the status as Europe’s most complete classical metropolis. And a metropolis it really is; built in the 10th century BC this UNESCO World Heritage site is nothing short of spectacular. Although regrettably very little remains of the Temple of Artemis (one of the seven wonders of the ancient world), the superb Library of Celsus’ façade is practically intact and it is one of life’s great joys to attend an evening performance in the illuminated ruins once all the tourists have left. The history of the city is fascinating and multi-layered and it is well worth reading up on this beforehand if a visit is planned. Another point of interest for historians would be the house of the Virgin Mary, located on the romantically named Mount Nightingale and just nine kilometres away from Ephesus proper. Legend has it that Mary (along with St. John) spent her final years here, secluded from the rest of the population, spreading Christianity. An edifying experience, even for non-believers. For the less historical minded amongst you, Kusadasi offers plenty in the way of activities. After a stroll through the town, jump in a taxi to Ladies’ Beach (men are allowed), sample a Turkish kebap on one of the many beachfront restaurants and enjoy the clement weather. If you do want to venture further afield, then the crystal clear beaches of Guzelcamli (or the Millipark), the cave of Zeus and the white scalloped natural pools at Pamukkale, known as Cleopatra’s pools, are definitely worth a visit.
Malta’s capital, the minicity of Valletta, has ornate palaces and museums protected by massive fortifications of honey-color limestone. Houses along the narrow streets have overhanging wooden balconies for people-watching from indoors. Generations ago they gave housebound women a window on the world of the street. The main entrance to town is through the City Gate (where all bus routes end), which leads onto Triq Repubblika (Republic Street), the spine of the grid-pattern city and the main shopping street. Triq Mercante (Merchant Street) parallels Repubblika to the east and is also good for strolling. From these two streets, cross streets descend toward the water; some are stepped. Valletta’s compactness makes it ideal to explore on foot. City Gate and the upper part of Valletta are experiencing vast redevelopment that includes a new Parliament Building and open-air performance venue. The complex, completed mid-2013, has numerous pedestrian detours in place along with building noise and dust. Before setting out along Republic Street, stop at the tourist information office on Merchant Street for maps and brochures.
Home to the Museo Regionale of Messina, known for featuring two of Caravaggio’s paintings, the city is also famous for having been the capital of the ancient kingdom of Sicily.
Sorrento may have become a jumping-off point for visitors to Pompeii, Capri, and Amalfi, but you can find countless reasons to love it for itself. The Sorrentine people are fair-minded and hardworking, bubbling with life and warmth. The tuff cliff on which the town rests is spread over the bay, absorbing sunlight, while orange and lemon trees waft their perfume in spring. Winding along a cliff above a small beach and two harbors, the town is split in two by a narrow ravine formed by a former mountain stream. To the east, dozens of hotels line busy Via Correale along the cliff—many have “grand” included in their names, and some indeed still are. To the west, however, is the historic sector, which still enchants. It’s a relatively flat area, with winding, stone-paved lanes bordered by balconied buildings, some joined by medieval stone arches. The central piazza is named after the poet Torquato Tasso, born here in 1544. This part of town is a delightful place to walk through. Craftspeople are often at work in their stalls and shops and are happy to let you watch; in fact, that’s the point. Music spots and bars cluster in the side streets near Piazza Tasso.
Italy’s vibrant capital lives in the present, but no other city on earth evokes its past so powerfully. For over 2,500 years, emperors, popes, artists, and common citizens have left their mark here. Archaeological remains from ancient Rome, art-stuffed churches, and the treasures of Vatican City vie for your attention, but Rome is also a wonderful place to practice the Italian-perfected il dolce far niente, the sweet art of idleness. Your most memorable experiences may include sitting at a caffè in the Campo de’ Fiori or strolling in a beguiling piazza.
La Spezia is sometimes thought of as nothing but a large, industrialized naval port en route to the Cinque Terre and Portovenere, but it does possess some charm, and it gives you a look at a less tourist-focused part of the Riviera. Its palm-lined promenade, fertile citrus parks, renovated Liberty-style palazzos, and colorful balcony-lined streets make parts of La Spezia surprisingly beautiful. Monday through Saturday mornings, you can stroll through the fresh fish, produce, and local-cheese stalls at the outdoor market on Piazza Cavour, and on Friday take part in the busy flea market on Via Garibaldi. There’s also Porto Mirabello, a newly built tourist port with a pool club, shops, and several restaurants that overlook the fleet of super-yachts.
The 202-hectare Principality of Monaco is located east of France’s Mediterranean coast. Known for its royal family, especially Prince Albert of Monaco, its casinos and racetracks and for being a wealthy state with no applied taxes. Monaco is reachable by air through the French airport of Nice Côte d’Azur, located approximately 16 miles from the principality.
The infinite variety of street life, the nooks and crannies of the medieval Barri Gòtic, the ceramic tile and stained glass of Art Nouveau facades, the art and music, the throb of street life, the food (ah, the food!)—one way or another, Barcelona will find a way to get your full attention. The capital of Catalonia is a banquet for the senses, with its beguiling mix of ancient and modern architecture, tempting cafés and markets, and sun-drenched Mediterranean beaches. A stroll along La Rambla and through waterfront Barceloneta, as well as a tour of Gaudí’s majestic Sagrada Famíliaand his other unique creations, are part of a visit to Spain’s second-largest city. Modern art museums and chic shops call for attention, too. Barcelona’s vibe stays lively well into the night, when you can linger over regional wine and cuisine at buzzing tapas bars.

We have been to every continent and hundreds of ports of call, continually captivated by the people and cultures, as well as the environments around them. All the while, we learn, grow and further refine what it means to cruise in luxury, something that always returns to the individual.
So, for a closer look into what makes us who we are, we’ve created a series of videos — chapters in our story, if you will — which offer more personal insights from some of the incredible people we’re so grateful are a part of the family at Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
- Reception & Concierge:
Our knowledgeable Reception staff is available around the clock to answer your questions and ensure your pleasure with your Seven Seas Mariner® voyage. Reception is also where you may contact the ship’s Concierge.
Our welcoming Reception Desk is open 24 hours a day and staffed by personable, knowledgeable men and women who are happy to answer your questions and provide any general assistance you may need. Reception is also where you may contact the ship’s Concierge. Postcards and letters may be dropped off here as well; they’ll be delivered to the postal service at the next port of call.
GENERAL MANAGER
While cruise-related issues are first submitted to Reception/Concierge, you can be assured that a General Manager is on hand to resolve issues to your satisfaction.
- Observation Lounge:
As indicated by its name, the Observation Lounge offers a wonderful vantage point to enjoy staggering views as your glorious ship enters and leaves ports of call. Live music adds to the serene vibe.
A chic yet comfortable space to read, relax and enjoy a cocktail while admiring the spectacular views offered every time Seven Seas Mariner® enters and leaves one of its worldwide ports of call. Live music is played throughout the day, making this another inviting onboard destination to to unwind with afternoon tea, pre-dinner cocktails or a satisfying nightcap.
- Connoisseur Club:
Engage in spirited conversation with new friends in an elegant hideaway that calls to mind gentleman’s clubs of old. An elegant throwback where cigars are savoured, you’ll take to like a favourite cardigan.
Maybe it’s the deep blue walls that give the Connoisseur Club such a gentile, old-fashioned feel. Or maybe it’s the collection of impossible comfortable leather armchairs. Whatever it is, this is a relaxing spot for you and new friends to enjoy a fine cigar and sip cognac (both are available for purchase) in classic gentleman’s club environs. Smoking is permitted in the club.
- Library:
Browse a vast collection of volumes, from destination-specific guide books to best-selling mysteries to classics of literature, upon a variety of comfortable chairs in our cozy Library.
Well-stocked and offering comfort for the body and mind, you’ll discover our Library is a most civil setting for reading and relaxing. Curl up with a classic novel or best-selling mystery, play a strategic game of chess or simply soak up the ambience of a sumptuous reading room. Regardless of what brings you here, our library is a welcoming, low-key treasure you just may find hard to leave.
- Constellation Theatre:
Take in lavishly staged, high-energy shows created and produced by our own team of Broadway choreographers and directors in our delightful hall. So grand it needs two decks, it offers plush seating and surroundings.
Smartly tiered for pleasing sightlines and decked out with delightfully plush seating, our Constellation Theatre is an intimate venue without a bad seat in the house. Settle in, admire the grand surroundings, and be prepared to witness phenomenal performances that vary from full-scale musical revues to rousing singalongs, all backed by our incredible, five-piece Regent Signature Orchestra.
- Atrium:
Simply put, the Atrium is the very heart of Seven Seas Mariner®. With natural light shining from above, it’s a natural hub for guests to rendezvous or gather for organised activities.
Often described as the crossroads of the ship, our Atrium is an inspiring testament to the grandeur of luxury ocean travel. Winding staircases wrap down several decks before meeting in the Atrium, which is a work of art itself. A glittering, modern, glass sculpture rises up the inside of the Atrium, reaching all the way to the open decks.
- Mariner Lounge:
You’ll find our popular Mariner Lounge tough to resist. It’s an inviting spot to chat with new friends over cocktails before a delicious dinner, and an exciting space to dance the night away afterwards.
Discover for yourself why the Mariner Lounge and nightclub is the perfect venue to meet new friends for a pre-dinner cocktail. As the night progresses, the spectacularly designed space turns into a nightclub where night owls gather to dance into the night or maybe sing along in a karaoke competition. Musicians entertain nightly, and during the late hours on selected nights a DJ spins records and takes requests.
- Stars Lounge & Night Club:
Encircling a glistening stairwell that leads to the Casino, the Stars Lounge is a throwback nightspot that draws fun-loving crowds for after-dinner drinks and late-night cocktails. A favourite with night owls.
High-backed velvet chairs and a shimmering bar are highlights of this popular spot for after-dinner drinks and late-night cocktails, but it’s a glistening stairwell to the upstairs Casino that gives Stars Lounge a certain throwback appeal. A long-time guest favourite, this arty lounge has a circular dance floor that beckons night owls to dance into the wee hours or partake in karaoke competitions.
- Horizon Lounge:
A alluring destination for informal drinks in an elegant setting. With live music throughout the day and expertly poured cocktails only a request away, the Horizon Lounge is a natural spot to rendezvous with fellow travellers.
The Horizon Lounge is an ideal destination for classic cocktails or to simply relax and engage in conversation with new friends. Resident musicians play familiar tunes throughout the day as well as before and after dinner, making it ideal for informal plans. Game shows, night entertainment and live musical events are featured regularly.
- The Casino:
Glass doors lead to an elegant setting bustling with games of chance that include Blackjack, roulette, poker and slot machines. The Casino is open every day at sea when not restricted by territorial border limits.
If you’re in the gaming mood, head to our elegantly appointed Casino for a few hands of blackjack or to try your luck at roulette, poker, the craps table or slot machines. Whether you’re a player or spectator, the excitement is contagious, the drinks delightful and the staff welcoming. Our stylish Casino is open every day at sea when not restricted by territorial border limits.
- Boutiques:
Whether it’s designer evening wear, handbags, fragrances or a smart gift, our boutique items are carefully selected and of the highest quality. The same may be said of our personable staff.
Stop into our boutiques and browse a wide range of items – upscale handbags to exclusive fragrances to fine jewellery – in an intimate and unhurried setting. You’ll also find a variety of clothes, Regent Seven Seas Cruises® logo wear and gift items to share with friends and family. Our boutiques are staffed by friendly salespeople. Opening hours vary and are printed in the Passages daily newsletter.
- Club.com & Internet Café:
For those who’ve chosen to leave their laptops at home, desktop computers are available at our staffed Internet Cafe. Of course, you may access WiFi without charge throughout the entirety of the ship.
It’s easy to stay connected, even while sailing the seven seas. Our ships have WiFi throughout for guests with their own laptops, and there are plenty of computers in the staffed Internet Café, which is open round the clock. Printers, e-mails, Internet access and Wireless access throughout the ship are all available for a nominal fee.
- Pool Bar:
Very few things equate to a pure vacation activity more than sitting at our Pool Bar. Make new friends while sipping a cocktail or frozen drink in the most laid-back atmosphere imaginable.
When you envision an activity you’re only likely to do while on vacation, sipping a frozen drink at a pool bar onboard a glorious cruise ship is probably near the top of the list. You can tick that box at our Pool Bar, where you and new friends can enjoy leisurely conversation over cocktails and frozen drinks in a delightfully relaxed atmosphere.
- Card & Conference Room:
Gather your favourite teammates in the Card Room for a lively afternoon or evening of cards, board games or a social game of Bridge. The spaces, which may be combined, are also designed to host conferences.
Two complete Card and Conference Rooms can be used for everything from bridge lectures and tournaments to corporate meetings and special events. Gather with a few friends for an afternoon or evening of fun competition with board games, cards and more. Larger groups may increase space by removing the dividing door and combining both rooms.
- Pool Deck:
For those days when nothing but sitting poolside will do, head to our Pool Deck. You’ll be greeted by an expansive space with unforgettable views, teak accents and an amiable crew offering cold drinks and lounge chairs.
Our Pool Deck is one of the most expansive at sea and features a large heated pool, two whirlpools and table tennis. Surrounded by luxurious teak accents, you’ll be consistently awestruck by the pool’s magnificent vistas high upon Seven Seas Mariner®. You’ll also be impressed by our amiable and dedicated crew, who stand at the ready to provide refreshing beverages and comfortable lounge chairs.
- Destination Services:
Whether you’re interested in a tour from our FREE Unlimited Shore Excursion menu or a unique, small-group Regent Choice Shore Excursion, our staff at Destination Services is ready to assist.
If the road to a richer life is paved with the lessons of new discoveries, our Destination Services is a great place to start. Learn about the adventures available to suit every taste and comfort level during your voyage from our dedicated staff. They can arrange unique shore excursions designed for smaller groups or assist with tailor-made pre-and post-cruise programs, from a simple stay in a luxurious hotel to a 3-night extension in a remote locale.
- Serene Spa & Wellness™:
A globally inspired, tranquil haven of health, beauty and wellness, our spa offers restorative treatments and activities that incorporate globally sourced, natural ingredients to soothe both the body and mind.
Serene Spa & Wellness is a globally inspired, tranquil haven of health, beauty and wellness, offering restorative treatments and activities to soothe both the body and mind. Strengthen and elevate both your body and mind as you engage with a variety of treatments and services designed to enhance your whole being, from massages, and body wraps to facials, manicures and pedicures and exclusive treatments curated especially for Regent Seven Seas Cruises®.
- Fitness Centre:
Look after yourself at sea. Take part in Pilates, yoga and aerobics classes or help yourself to spinning bikes, dumbbells, treadmills, Technogym Strength Machines, workout mats and step benches. For guests 16 and over.
Serene Spa & Wellness™ fitness experts lead popular exercise classes, such as Pilates, yoga and meditation and are on hand to offer advice and demonstrate the use of fitness equipment. Equipment includes spinning bikes, dumbbells, treadmills, Technogym Strength Machines, workout mats and step benches. One-on-one training can be arranged with a fitness instructor. Guests under the age of 16 are not permitted in the Fitness Centre.
- Jogging Track:
If you have a regular walking or running routine, fear not – your healthy habit can be maintained while cruising the high seas. Regardless of the speed you traverse our track, dramatic views and fresh air await.
Whether you prefer to start your day with a brisk jog or wait until later and get in an afternoon walk, our Track is a popular destination for those who’ve developed active lifestyles back on dry land. Onboard Seven Seas Mariner® it’s an outstanding place to get your heart pumping while enjoying unforgettable ocean vistas.
- Paddle Tennis Court :
Our completely screened and well-maintained paddle tennis court will beckon you and your teammates to win at all costs – or simply enjoy a fun game of paddle tennis or two.
One look at our Paddle Tennis Court and you’ll know it’s a place of serious competition. All the equipment you need is nearby, the court is completely screened and the surface is immaculate. Whether you find yourself in a tense match or something more leisurely, you and your fellow players will be enjoying fresh ocean air and fantastic views from high atop your ship.
- Putting Green:
Not nearly as serious as the Golf Net, our Putting Greens invite you to gather friends – perhaps after an afternoon cocktail – for a spirited round of putt-putt golf or two.
While the Golf Net is meant to help you improve your fairway swing, our Putting Greens are less about self-improvement than group fun as your ship travels from one destination to another. A popular pastime is gathering friends after an afternoon cocktail and heading to the top deck of Seven Seas Mariner® for a spirited competition as twilight approaches and a delicious dinner in one of our stellar restaurants looms.
- Golf Nets:
If the mood strikes to work on your fairway swing, head to our Golf Net. All equipment is provided for you to practice your swing while soaking up the most glorious views imaginable.
The glorious ocean vistas you’ll admire every day won’t necessarily have you thinking of golf course fairways, but if you find yourself wishing you could be practicing your fairway swing, head to our Golf Net. All the clubs and golf balls you need are available. Who knows? Maybe you’ll return home from your voyage with a few kinks worked out of your golf swing…
- Bocce Court:
Gather some friends and engage in a game originated in 5,000 BC. Our Bocce Court has the requisite equipment – a pallina and 8 larger balls – for you to engage in a spirited contest as the sun sets.
The originators of bocce ball 7,000 years ago couldn’t have imagined their simple game being played high atop a glorious ocean liner … but you’ll be able to do more than imagine while playing it onboard Seven Seas Mariner®. Bocce ball – also known as Italian lawn bowling – is played with a pallina and 8 larger balls, all of course provided.
- Shuffleboard:
Probably the game most associated with cruise ships, shuffleboard onboard Seven Seas Mariner® is a more dramatic affair. High atop your ship, you won’t mind awaiting your turn as you take in glorious horizon views.
This isn’t the sleepy version of shuffleboard. From high atop Seven Seas Mariner®, you’ll be enchanted by ocean vistas stretching horizon to horizon as you engage in a game that dates back to 15th-century England. All equipment is well-maintained and available for use – all you have to do is bring a team, or perhaps join one in need of a player.

General dietary needs such as low salt or low cholesterol foods can be satisfied onboard the ship just by speaking with the dining wait staff.
All frozen kosher prepackaged meals are provided by Borenstein Caterers Incorporated.

We are pleased to serve guests kosher meals, both prepackaged and fresh, exclusively in our elegant Compass Rose restaurant. Once on board, please contact the maître d’ of Compass Rose to make dining arrangements.
- Age Restrictions:
Infants must be six months of age as of the first day of the cruise. For voyages that have three or more consecutive days at sea, infants must be at least one year of age as of the first day of the cruise. Guests traveling with a young infant that does not meet the infant policy will be denied boarding. No refunds or other compensation shall be due from Regent Seven Seas Cruises to anyone as a result of the denial of boarding to an underage infant or any accompanying guests. Based on SOLAS requirements Regent Seven Seas Cruises cannot and will not make any exceptions to allow infants on any of their cruises which do not meet the minimum one year of age requirement. No waivers will be accepted. Please do not enquire about making any exceptions, as all requests will be denied. Any guest under the age of 18 must be accompanied by and occupy the same suite as an adult 18 years or older. Regent Seven Seas Cruises does not provide for the care, entertainment or supervision of children. Guests under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the spa or fitness facilities, even if supervised by an adult. Special promotional rates are available for children on select sailings. To be eligible, the child must be under the age of 18.
- Dress Code:
Attire ranges from Casual to Formal Optional. Casual wear consists of resort-style outfits; some examples are jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes. Casual wear is appropriate for daytime both on board or ashore. Casual wear is not appropriate after 6:00 PM. On the night prior to disembarkation, guests may need to pack their luggage early due to morning flights the next day. With this in mind, on the last night of every voyage, we will relax the dress code for dinner to Casual.
Otherwise, the recommended onboard dress in the evenings is Elegant Casual. Dinner dress for ladies includes a skirt, or slacks with a blouse or sweater, a pant suit or dress; slacks and a collared shirt for gentlemen. Sport jackets are optional. Casual wear is not to be worn at dinner. Ties are not required.
On sailings of 16 nights or more, Formal and Semi-Formal attire is optional on two of the evenings. On the two Formal Optional evenings, guests are welcome to dress as per the elegant Casual dress code or opt for a more formal choice of clothing including gowns and cocktail dresses for ladies; tuxedos, dinner jackets or dark suits with tie for gentlemen.

For the comfort and safety of all of our Guests, smoking is not permitted in any enclosed dining area, certain public venues, elevators, the Theatre, and all suites and balconies, and is only permitted in specific designated smoking areas.

- Sail & Sustain:
Our global sustainability program, Sail & Sustain, is centred around our commitment to drive a positive impact on society and the environment while delivering on our vision to be the vacation of choice for everyone around the world. We visit nearly 500 destinations globally, allowing our guests to travel and explore the world, and our business is inextricably linked to the preservation of our planet and the protection of our shared resources.

- Alcohol Policy:
The sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages will be limited to guests aged 21 years or older. However, with the exception of Hawaii, Alaska and New England voyages not leaving U.S. territorial waters, guests between the ages of 18 through 20 may purchase and personally consume wine and beer only while on board and with the consent of an accompanying parent. Authorisation will be given only when the accompanying parent completes the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form. This form can be obtained and completed at the Reception Desk upon embarkation. While sailing on select international voyages, guests 18 years or older are permitted to consume alcoholic beverages without having to complete the Young Adult Alcoholic Beverage Waiver form. Guests are kindly reminded to consume alcohol in moderation. Regent Seven Seas Cruises reserves the right to prohibit and retain all liquor brought aboard the ship.
- Internet Access:
High-speed, unlimited WiFi is available on board all Regent Seven Seas Cruises® ships, powered by Starlink’s advanced satellite technology. From January 1, 2025, two complimentary logins per suite are included in the All-Inclusive Cruise Fare for guests in Deluxe Window, Veranda, Deluxe Veranda, and Serenity Suites, and four complimentary logins for guests in Concierge Suites and above.
Guests wishing to further enhance their WiFi connection onboard may do so by purchasing a streaming upgrade package with prices varying depending on the length of sailing:

Any costs associated will be billed directly through your cell phone provider, and not through the ship.
- Medical Services:
Each ship has a licensed and registered doctor and nurse for professional and emergency services, which are available at customary charges. The ships’ medical centres are designed to provide medical care for certain temporary illnesses and accidents, and are not intended or capable of providing on-going treatment of pre-existing medical conditions. For guests requiring oxygen equipment, an oxygen concentrator is the only form of oxygen equipment allowed aboard ship, and must be provided by the guest. Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ wheelchairs on board are for emergency purposes only.

At the time of embarkation, we request registration of an accepted credit card. The night prior to your final disembarkation from the ship, a detailed statement of your shipboard charges for on board services and products will be delivered to your suite. All such charges must be settled in full by cash or accepted credit card (Visa Debit, MasterCard, American Express).
On limited itineraries the ship may offer foreign currency exchange from the Reception desk. All onboard foreign currency exchange transactions will be charged to the guest’s onboard account and a 5% transaction fee will be applied. As we are unable to provide all currencies, most can be found within the ship’s terminal.
