Other (Asia/Africa/Middle East) Cruise Reviews

I have been on NCL cruise and I think this one is the worst I have ever done. We spent a lot of $$$ for the shore excursions and did not have enough time to do or had to cancel because of always delayed disembarkation..ex. we docked at 7:00 am and we did not disembarked till 1:00pm. Our tour guide has been waiting for us sine 8:00am. late disembarkation and early return to the ship was the cause for missing most of our paid excursions

Did not like that they charged extra and way too much for everything specialty dining was $65pp aprox & drink package & wifi was also ridiculously priced

Great cruise. Unusual itinerary. Our bucket list was to visit Taiwan and Hong Kong.

Overall the service is good, food is good, and drinks are great, but not much onboard activity

I would do it again ! Thank you my best travel angel of the world - Lincoln for awesome planning , booking and care .

We had a wonderful time and would love to come back. I highly recommend it while you are young and can still climb stairs easily. Lots of walking.

We love Regent for many reasons; ship beauty and function, service, food, shows, free laundry, all inclusive

There were a few ports not worth visiting because of limited points of interests. Restaurant service staff need a lot of training or retraining. some updates needed for the ship

This was a fantastic cruise and experience. Checked off many boxes on my bucket list. Each city just kept getting better. We had 7 days at sea, but there was plenty to do on the ship, like eat and oh yes ice cream.

Embarcation and disembarcation were the worst in twenty cruises we have been on

If you go, its about the destinations. Mostly this ships crew needs a lot of work

This is an adult cruise line so their shows had very adult themes in them. You must have a working smart phone to deal with their ship app which controls everything. An ipad is in the room to control curtains, lighting, and TV. They are trying to be trendy and one should not be prudish being on board.

Great itinerary with great stops. Too bad the Hamas thing prevented us from getting to Petra. But still totally a great experience. We didn't bother with the Atlantic crossings.

It was very educational for us to learn about slave trade history by visiting several West African countries. Our ship was the last one to go through Suez Canal before the interruption by Yemen. We were blessed with great weather and smooth sailing for the entire duration. Although we couldn’t visit Aqaba and Sharm El Sheikh ports due to Israel and Hamas war, it was a great trip overall.

This cruise is not relaxing like a Caribbean cruise. The weather can be (and was) brutally hot at times. But it is worth it from the perspectives of history (ancient) on the East Coast, and history (recent) on the West Coast. You get a real education and appreciation for what you have in the US as well as why many people from Africa risk it all to get to Europe and the US. In many ports, you have to look beyond the litter, rundown conditions, and poor economics to see the friendlieness of the people. Holland America did a very good job of mixing the ports up so that you see (I think) the full spectrum of Africa. One trip won't show you everything but the sheer variety of people, cultures, languages, food, and history is overwhelming.

Overall great cruise. Boat is old with many leaks but we had not issues and it was very pleasant experience. Staff could not have been better. Even the Captain was very friendly and informative. Africa is a very difficult place to maneuver even the Cruiseline had a lot of problems with ports, government staff and shuttles. Africa is what I call an appreciation cruise. You learn to appreciate where you live compared to this continent that seems to be so engrossed in corruption and poverty that seems unable to escape it. It can be a very sad experience.

We were so excited to see this part of the world that we never experienced before. It was eye opening with beauty and also poor conditions compared to what we have. Amazing views, animals, people and cultures. The ship and staff were also excellent. A most memorable trip.

I expected more from a luxury cruise line that has been around a while. I have taken 8 cruises, all with "all-inclusive" luxury cruise lines. I had hoped this would have been the best based upon ratings and reviews. It was not, unfortunately. The food, entertainment and tours could all be improved given the brand. The jury is out on whether I will book this cruise line again.

We actually border the ship in Vancouver, BC. We toured through Alaska and on to Japan. It was a wonderful fun cruise.

This was a birthday cruise for my husband’s 75th birthday and our first experience with Uniworld. We couldn’t have been happier. It was so organized and so well run, and we can’t think of a thing to make it better.
