My review of Regent Seven Seas Voyager

Last week I was lucky enough to be given a tour of Regent Seven Seas Voyager when she was on a turn around day in Southampton. It was my first time on a Regent ship and I was very impressed.

My first impressions were one of space, she is a mis sized ship but only carries 700 passengers and there is plenty of room for everyone, you could easily fit 3 people abreast as you walk along the corridors. The staterooms are all suite all balcony and the entry rooms - H grade deluxe suites are ample in size. At 356sq ft they are very similar in size and design to Cunard's Princess Grills. They also come with a bath and separate shower and L'Occitane toiletries.

As we went through the different suite levels the finishing touches were lovely from Illy coffee makers to telescopes.

With the ship sailing that day the restaurants were open and the food delicious. La Veranda was offering buffet cuisine with the largest side of beef that I'd ever seen and the fresh cooked pizza's amongst other things. I was treated to lunch in the Compass Rose restaurant and I can honestly say it was the best food that I have ever had on a ship. A lobster starter, and filet mignon cooked to perfection. Desert was followed by coffee and petit fours. In the speciality restaurants the table settings were Versace and customers are able to reserve dining in these restaurants ahead of their sailing.

For drinks Regent is an All Inclusive ship and the bars offer a full menu choice, I wanted to stay and sample the range of vodka martini's, full cocktail list, choice of premium brands within each type of spirit along with wines and champagne.

The Canyon Ranch Spa Club was large for ship of this size with several treatment rooms and saunas and steam rooms and if you are after something more active there is a tennis court, golf driving net and jogging track. There is also a fully equipped gym and seperate fitness studio.

All in all I was really impressed with this ship and as Regent are offering All Inclusive prices for next year, including flights, drinks and excursions they offer really great prices. I will definatley be recommending this ship to my passengers, especially those that normally travel with Cunard oe Celebrity - the prices are very comparable.
