"We are continually looking to incorporate new ports of call to enable our guests to discover new parts of the world," says Andrea DeMarco, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, in an interview with Travel + Leisure. She notes that Africa and the Middle East are of particularly high interest among Regent passengers — so much so that the company has added nine new sailings in the regions. Other 2025 – 2026 highlights include a 154-night world cruise and five longer Grand Voyages (including trips to the Arctic, throughout Asia, and around the Indian Ocean).
"Our experienced itinerary planning team conducts comprehensive research, engages with local destination experts, and assesses the destination's attractiveness," DeMarco says. "This includes meticulously evaluating several factors, including destination popularity, cultural significance, and infrastructure readiness, to identify potential new ports of call."

Across all its voyages, Regent offers 3,900 free shore excursions, though there are upgraded experiences available, like visits to artists' studios and chef-led tours of markets. In fact, culinary excursions are so popular that the cruise line has launched food-focused sailings that will continue through the 2025 – 2026 season.
"From joining the 'Father of Southwestern Cuisine,' chef Dean Fearing, as he shares Texan techniques through cooking demonstrations and special tours on a Mediterranean cruise, to experiencing the viticulture of Greece, Italy, and Spain with renowned winemakers, guests will have the unique opportunity to watch and learn from world-class chefs and masterful vintners on these special culinary-focused voyages," DeMarco says.

Regent has a fleet of five — soon to be six — luxurious ships that travel around the world, each carrying fewer than 1,000 passengers. You can head over to rssc.com to book the new itineraries starting today, June 21; seven-night sailings start around $5,000 per person.
