Seven Seas Voyager Review
Rating by category
Additional details
This was only our third cruise and our first with Regent. We picked it because it offered 3 days in St. Petersburg and the Business Class Airfare add-on was VERY reasonable.
Although there were a few signs of The Voyager aging ( worn carpeting and frayed curtains) overall we were quite pleased with the ship and look forward to seeing it after the Refurbishing later this year.
For some reason, we received a lot of SBC from our travel agent even though we had never used them or Regent before. In addition, all the arrangements she made were perfect, except that she never explained in advance the ships policy of only getting reservations in the Special restaurants twice on the cruise, and she oversold how Dressy the dining rooms were.. We were also surprised that, 3 days prior to sailing, we were offered an upsell from a Veranda suite to an AFT Penthouse-which we jumped on.
Cabin Review
Penthouse Suite
Clean, spacious with walk in closet. The bathroom and bath products were superb. Only complaint was there was almost no place to plug the hairdryer in, due to the plug size- most people seemed to bring an extension cord to make it work.
Port Reviews
Brugge (Bruges)
A great way to get a feel for the city
Copenhagen
This was a fun tour but half way through, we decided to go off on our own and explore the city
Riga
Not worth it. The city was much more modern than we expected, the weather was not great and the guide was hard to understand
Tallinn
We went off on our own for this city and were very pleased we did. The old City of Tallinn is very walkable and we had plenty of time to see what we wanted.
Helsinki
This was supposed to be a 3+ hour walking tour of the city. We found our guide to be redundant and hard to understand. Half way through, we went off on our own and later spoke with several people on similar excursions that did the same.
