It Might be a Cliche BUT ITS TRUE…

….. it’s not how much you pay to get ON a cruise – it’s how much you pay to get OFF that matters!

I booked a Regent cruise for a passenger yesterday, he had not cruised with them before but was disheartened by falling standards of other Premium cruise lines so he decided to move up a notch and try it

When you think of the Luxury Cruise Market – Regent, Silversea, Seabourn you think of Luxury prices, this is sometimes the case but when you actually breakdown the individual costs and see what is included you might be surprised that there is very little difference between what you would spend with Celebrity or Princess especially when you see what is usually included!

Most Luxury lines offer Unlimited Shore Excursions, Gourmet restaurants and free Specialty Restaurant reservations, Unlimited Beverages Including Fine Wines and Premium Spirits, complimentary Pre-Paid Gratuities and 24-Hour Room Service, enticing early booking discounts and often free flights and free regional connections, hotel packages and transfers

I thought I would put it to the test and do my own Price Comparison!

This has been a real eye opener, I had expected Regent to be a lot more expensive but not only is this cruise a lower price but when you book a Regent cruise you will enjoy the finest luxury cruise experience and the best value in luxury cruising today with an Elegant Casual Dress Code, smoke-free environments throughout almost the entirety of ships, Enticing voyages to nearly 350 ports around the world, with easy access to intimate ports that larger vessels cannot reach, World-famous Canyon Ranch SpaClub,

Not only that but with a staff-to-guest ratio of 1 to 1.5,  intimate, luxurious ships cater to a 490 or 700 guests, resulting in stellar service, no lines and no waiting AND All-suite accommodations, 97% with private balconies

Why not add some Luxury when you book your next cruise?
