Before you read any further, I am sorry this is such a lengthy report. I hadn't intended that it would be, but by the time I’d finished..... well you decide.

Whilst we are not new to cruising, just new to Regent Seven Seas, and are just one of the growing number of UK residents who are now enjoying this cruise line. It was the Itinerary that first attracted us to this particular cruise. Generally speaking, Alaska cruises last just 7 nights and either go North from Vancouver/Seattle or return South from Anchorage/Seward with full on port intensive itineraries. Our Regent Seven Seas cruise on "Navigator' was 12 nights, starting in San Francisco and finishing in Vancouver and had a couple of sea days in which to truly relax and restore your energy. Whilst Regent are a Luxury cruise line, I can genuinely say that we experienced the most 'classless' cruise to date. We loved that once outside your Suite, everyone was equal. There were no Lounges on the ship we weren’t able to access, and our multi national fellow cruisers were all friendly and welcoming. The dress code for the whole voyage was Smart Casual (no Jacket required) which in this day and age of Air Travel Baggage costs, was a major plus to us. The following is more a report of our journey rather than a review of the ship, although I have gone into some detail in places !!! I hope it inspires those who have never been to Alaska to give it a try, and if you can afford to do it with Regent, then do so - you most definitely won’t be disappointed.

With only 470 passengers, embarkation in San Francisco was an organised and quick process. We were onboard and sipping our first glass of Champagne within minutes and made our way up to Deck 10 where a Buffet Lunch was being served in La Veranda. Regent are an "All Inclusive" luxury cruise line and we were soon enjoying a selection of wines to accompany our superb lunch. Service was excellent and the staff friendly and helpful.

Cabin Review

Larger than average Balcony Cabin. Bathroom consisted of full size bath and separate roomy walk-in shower. Walk-in Dressing Room with ample hanging space, drawers and shelves + built in Safe, Ironing Board & Iron. Extremely comfortable Queen or Twin size bed with luxury linen, 2 bedside tables with overhead angled lamps, alarm clock. Extra large sofa, easy chair & coffee table which could extend into a larger table for in room dining. Interactive Flat screen TV, DVD Player, well stocked mini bar, Illy Coffee Maker. Plenty of storage space and suitcases were easily stored under the bed.
