The expertly curated land programs by Regent Seven Seas Cruises, which range between two and three nights in length, showcase destination “must-sees” while revealing local hidden treasures in iconic locales including Hong Kong, China; Singapore; and Sydney, Australia.
For example, guests could enhance a 10-night cruise on board Regent Seven Seas Cruises Voyager sailing February 19, 2022 by enjoying a free three-night pre-cruise Authentic Buenos Aires land program, as well as a free three-night post-cruise A Passion for Rio land program, creating a truly immersive, 16-night luxury travel experience.
Other exciting land programs include the brand-new Sacred & Scenic Tokyo tour which visits the most significant Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in Tokyo on a celebration of Japan’s spiritual heritage; and a Winelands and Wildlife tour from Cape Town, South Africa which promises remarkable adventures combining wine tasting and big game viewing.
Alternatively, guests who do not wish to take advantage of one, or both, of the free land programs can opt to receive savings per suite instead.
