Seven Seas Splendor: Comfort & elegance at sea
Snapshot
The 750-passenger luxury ocean ship Seven Seas Splendor from Regent Seven Seas is, simply put, one of the most gorgeous, elegant ships at sea. Nearly identical to its sister ship Seven Seas Explorer, Splendor debuted in 2020 and features all-suite, all-balcony accommodations and voyages to small, charming ports like Malaga and the Cote d'Azur in the Mediterranean and Curacao and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean.
Step aboard and you'll be wowed by the crystal chandeliers, tasteful furnishing and fine artwork throughout the ship. Dining is a delight, with a choice of French, modern European, Italian, pan-Asian and American fare — and all meals and drinks are included. Your fare also includes at least one shore excursion in every port.

Fellow passengers
Cruise Critic reports: “Passengers on Seven Seas Splendor skew toward 60 plus. Most passengers are from North American and Australian, with some from the U.K. Most Regent Seven Seas passengers are not new to cruising and have sailed with the line before. Seven Seas Splendor is not geared toward young families with children — the ship has no kids' clubs, though some light programing is offered during the school holidays.
