Guests in deluxe suites can upgrade to Business Class for just $999 each way. Concierge-level guests (categories E and above) will enjoy enhanced amenities such as priority online access to shore excursion and specialty dining reservations; an upgraded, pre-cruise luxury hotel package; free phone and internet minutes; in-suite binoculars, coffee brewer and cashmere blanket; and more.

Iceland, Scotland, Denmark & More

For summer 2012, Regent Seven Seas Cruises introduces five new Northern Europe ports, including Akureyri and Isafjordur in Iceland, Douglas on the Isle of Man, Lerwick (Scotland) and Rønne (Denmark).

Guests can choose from a selection of complimentary shore excursions on every sailing. In Russia, guests enjoy two or three full days in St. Petersburg providing ample opportunities to explore the historic Peterhof (Peter the Great’s Grand Palace), attend an evening performance of traditional song and dance, appreciate the art and history of the Hermitage, and much more.

“Northern Europe offers a distinctly different cruising experience than the Mediterranean,” says Mark Conroy, the line’s president. “Northern Europe surprises visitors with rich and diverse cultural offerings that often change dramatically from port to port and Regent Seven Seas delivers the most memorable experiences in the region.”
