Seven Seas Explorer - Reviews

I was not sure what to expect since I had never been on a Regent cruise or to the Baltic Sea. I was overwhelmed with both. The ship and the staff are unbelievable and I really can’t begin to describe the experience. The food and drink are 5 star at every meal. The service is great and the staff is beyond friendly and helpful. All of the ports are great except Berlin which I think you can skip if you are on the cruise. If you go to Moscow be ready for an 18 hour day that is worth the time.

Very luxurious! Staff was super friendly. A highlight was dinner with a couple of the cast members. Typically had table for meals with a window view. Frequently played trivia game at 4:30 and formed a very fun group. Enjoyed the daily Mensa quiz also.

GM Massimo was quite offensive to my bride & another couple in separate incidents. There is sadly a corporate & Explorer culture of rigid rule following over delighting guests. He decided to not let me board even though we all knew I'd have my e-visa the day after sailing, 13 days before arriving in Rio & with 3 ports in between I could disembark in if visa didn't come through. Ruined 1st 3 days of our 15th anniversary cruise, as I had to remain in Cape Town & fly to the 2nd port.

This was our third trip on Explorer and it was every bit as good as the others. The food, service and staff make sure nothing is missed in making your experience special. The staff make an effort to know you and the smaller ship allows you to meet other guests too. We will definitely be back.

Luxury all the way! Enjoyed our cruise. Hotel in Barcelona was a bit busy.

This is the best ship we have ever cruised on out of five cruises. Not only is it beautiful, but the service and food was top of the line. Highly recommend the ship and this cruise.

overall good cruise. But a few things could have been better. We had asked for "Harmless Harvest " Coconut water in the cabin. I understand that it is a more expensive than the other brands. You provided some other brand of coconut water which was not drinkable. Why did you not fulfill a simple request? It does not cost a fraction of the cost of the alcohol you provide to your guests. The fitness person Marko was very good. But he had the day off two days out of the ten days of our cruise. SO no classes for two days. Could you not have an assistant to carry on the classes?

Exceeded our high expectations. Not a party ship but lots to do. The food was fabulous and the ship was incredible. Did some tours but also took time to visit some ports on our own, The free laundry service is a plus. When they say “all inclusive”they are pretty much correct as we left the ship with a bill of $63.00. WiFi is somewhat spotty and needs improvement.

The cruise was excellent. We had an amazing time and the ship was fantastic. The state rooms were well appointed and elegant. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Regent is by far the best of the best. Ive been on Seaboure and Silver Seas and they dont rate has high as Regent.

Setting the clocks ahead 6 times in 14 nights was tough. Next time we will go from East to West. Overall we really enjoyed the cruise. The entertainment on Regent has really improved.

Certainly one of the best transatlantic cruises we have been on. Thoroughly enjoyed it all. Would not hesitate to sail on Regent again.

This was our second Regent cruise with two other couples and the both cruises were outstanding. The crew is friendly, helpful and courteous. When Regent says all inclusive they mean everything. My total bill at checkout was $26.50 for some dry cleaning. The cruise is worth every penny we paid. Will sign up for a third cruise for sure.

We boarded this ship to compare with Crystal which we had 2 cruises (Jun and Dec 2017). We prepare Crystal.

Love the design and layout of the Explorer . Desiree Parks, our Cruise Consultant is always available and helpful in our planning process. We have spent a lot of time in the Eastern Carribean on private sailIng charters. This region has the infrastructure for tourism and we feel that the Western Caribbean is in the early stages of building up these countries for tourism. Would not recommend this cruise because of the ports of call destinations.

RSSC is very expensive, but the Explorer made it worthwhile.

So much to like about cruising with Regent. The service continues to be excellent. The many choices of restaurants on the Explorer can be overwhelming.

Hands down, most excellent on board experience of all of our 5 cruises. Fabulous new ship. Only real weakness was lameness of a number of the shore excursions, and narrow little old-town streets all start to look alike after a while.

We will do another cruse on this cruise line. Loved eating and when finished, no checks or tips. Also loved the Business Class flights to and from. We never felt over crowded.

Overall, we really loved our cruise and this cruise line. However, it is very pricey and not a great choice for kids under 12 or so. The experience is 1st class all the way, especially the food and service.
