Cruises
Journey Beyond the Ordinary
Soaring bald eagles, breaching whales, gleaming glaciers, and misty mountains are hallmarks of an Alaska cruise, but onboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises they are brought to life in a way that is anything but ordinary.

For over 30 years, Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has delivered exceptional cruise experiences, earning accolades as the world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line.
But what is luxury, exactly? On Regent, it is more than plush beds and exquisite meals. It is uncrowded, with ships carrying no more than 822 guests. It is spacious, with expansive suites and open-air decks. It is intuitive service, like your favourite wine already poured when you arrive for dinner. And it is choice: dine when and where you like. Looking for something off the menu? Just ask, and you’ll quickly learn that “no” is rarely the response.
Regent’s Alaska
Imagine sailing onboard Seven Seas Explorer with just 750 guests, ensconced in Regent luxury and heartfelt hospitality. Each day begins just the way you like—sipping coffee on your private veranda, taking a refreshing walk on the Sports Deck, or lingering over a sumptuous breakfast. Another eggs Benedict? A second latte? Or a third mimosa? It’s all served with a smile, and all included.
There is a wide range of activities to spark your curiosity, from insightful lectures about Alaska’s Gold Rush history and cooking classes in the Culinary Arts Kitchen to shopping in the boutiques, games and trivia, and more.
But if you’re feeling less inclined, indulge in a soothing treatment at the Serene Spa and Wellness. In the evenings, enjoy stage productions, live music, cocktails, and conversations.
Dining onboard is pure epicurean perfection. With eight venues, you’ll be spoiled for choice, whether it’s a succulent prime steak at Prime 7, melt-in-your-mouth miso black cod at Pacific Rim, delectable mushroom risotto at Sette Mari, or a perfectly roasted rack of lamb at Chartreuse. For the ultimate in customized dining, craft your own entrée from an extensive menu of always-available seafood, meats, and sides at Compass Rose. And yes, you can order lobster every night!
Your home at sea is a spacious sanctuary that cocoons you in comfort. Sink into your Elite Slumber bed or curl up on the cozy sofa. With a minibar stocked with your preferences and 24-hour room service, Regent’s effortless luxury may make you reluctant to leave your suite. Yet floor-to-ceiling windows and a private veranda ensure Alaska’s majestic scenery is never out of sight.
Unlimited Explorations
Unlimited complimentary shore excursions are another defining element of Regent’s unrivaled all-inclusive experience. When it’s time to step ashore, you are invited to enjoy immersive explorations designed to showcase Alaska the Regent way. In Skagway, ride the historic White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, traversing wooden trestles, passing gorges and waterfalls. In Klawock, observe Tlingit artists carving intricate totem poles. Pan for gold in Juneau, or explore the wilderness surrounding Ketchikan on a hike through Tongass National Forest. Adventure seekers can choose a backcountry Jeep adventure at Icy Strait or cycling on forested trails in Sitka.
Some Alaskan voyages also include a day cruising the legendary Inside Passage. This is slow travel at its best, as you sail through narrow channels that reveal new discoveries around every bend. One moment, you are surrounded by steep cliffs laced with waterfalls; the next, you glide into a pristine bay dotted with rocky islets. Alaska’s temperate rainforest is home to abundant wildlife, and be sure to watch out for whales breaking the surface, sending plumes of mist into the air.
Another unforgettable day is spent at the mighty Hubbard Glacier, which rises nearly 122 metres above the water and stretches more than 10 kilometres across. Listen for the thunderous crack of ice before it calves into the sea, and watch seabirds and otters frolic in the waters below. Just as you feel the chill of the air, a server appears with a steaming mug of hot chocolate in hand. No, it isn’t magic. This is Regent’s Alaska, where every moment is elevated beyond the ordinary.
In 2026, Seven Seas Explorer will offer 16 seven-night voyages departing from Vancouver, British Columbia, or Whittier, Alaska. In addition to accommodations, meals, beverages, and shore excursions, Starlink Wi-Fi, valet laundry service, and pre-paid gratuities are also included. Extended visits to Denali National Park and Fairbanks are available pre- or post-cruise to enhance your Alaska voyage.
