What Travelers Say About Seven Seas Explorer
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Seven Seas Explorer sailing. Based on 400 discussions.
Seven Seas Explorer is Regent's flagship statement of ultra-luxury: an all-suite, all-balcony ship for roughly 746 guests that bills itself as the most luxurious ever built, backed by some 2,500 artworks and around 500 chandeliers. The vibe is refined, quiet and mature - an affluent, older clientele who prize space and personal service over party energy or crowds. With about 548 crew, staff learn your name fast, and the genuinely all-inclusive fare (drinks, gratuities, specialty dining, Wi-Fi and most shore excursions) means almost no nickel-and-diming once you're aboard.
What People Love
- Every one of the 373 accommodations is a balcony suite (55 to nearly 1,000 sq ft) with marble baths and walk-in closets - among the most spacious at sea
- Genuinely all-inclusive fare bundles wine, spirits, beer, soda, gratuities, all specialty dining, unlimited Wi-Fi AND most shore excursions
- Included shore excursions are a major value differentiator versus Silversea and Seabourn, which charge for most tours
Common Complaints
- Production shows in the Constellation Theater rate only about average (3/5) - the ship's weakest pillar versus big-ship entertainment
- Food execution is inconsistent in Compass Rose, with recurring reports of cold or stone-cold dishes outside the specialty venues
- Included unlimited Wi-Fi is frequently slow and degrades the farther you sail from port
