caviar, roasted rack of lamb with rosemary persil-
lade and roasted lobster tail with scallop mousse,
asparagus and almond broth. At the always pop-
ular Pacific Rim, a Tibetan prayer wheel greets
you. Try the artfully conceived tempura battered
Canadian lobster with an orange ponzu sauce,
miso-spiced black cod wrapped in hoba leaf, and
grilled Korean barbecue lamb chops. For interna-
tional fare, dine at Compass Rose, the ship’s main
dining room where tables are set with Versace
china. The wine program is another of Seven Seas
Explorer’s brag-worthy features. You’ll have a great
time exploring the sommelier-curated wine and
drinks menus at the restaurants and lounges.
Imagine the Days
Mornings might look something like this: you
wake in a dreamy bed (among the best designed
and comfy in the market, with some mattresses
costing upwards of $90,000—another example of
Regent Seven Seas Cruises sparing no expense for
your wilderness escape). Step onto your veranda to
breathe in the salty sea breeze. Just as you’re about
to return to your suite, you notice a seal on a tiny
islet, its head tilted skyward inviting you to enjoy a
beautiful day. Yes, you think you will do just that.
After breakfast, you head to the spa to take
advantage of its extensive facilities. In the after-
noon, it’s time to immerse in the scenic splendour
as the luxury cruise sails past wondrous nature
where you are enroute to the Hubbard Glacier in
Yakutat Bay. Join in on a game of bocce and have a
drink in the lounge before dinner. For après-dinner,
enjoy a show in the ornate, two-tiered 694-seat
Constellation theatre.
Otters and Unexpected Discoveries
Choose from seven curated adventure-rich Alaska
itineraries that promise to showcase wilderness
and adventure in all forms of experiences. With a
wide range of shore excursions available, try zip
lining through a forest, or take a helicopter to a
glacier peak. Such high-octane activities dispel any
myths that Alaska cruises are only for mature
sailors. (It’s not uncommon to see grandparents and
grandkids among the guests on this cruise, and
there are also more than enough on-board activities
to keep children happy.) There are adrenalin-less-
charged experiences, too. Guest-favourite
excursions include a visit to Alaska’s beautiful
Dutch Harbor, Kodiak with its black basalt beaches
and black bears, and Alaskan king crab fishing or a
salmon fishing expedition.
In 2026, Seven Seas Explorer will introduce a new
port of call at Klawock, complementing Ketchikan
and other favourite offshore excursions to Sitka,
Alaska.
