Caribbean with Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Regent's All-Inclusive Cruise Fares include all meals including speciality restaurants and in-suite dining, drinks, gratuities and even, most unusually in this category, shore excursions. You can also opt for an Ultimate All-Inclusive Fare which then includes flights, embarkation and disembarkation group transfers, and a private executive transfer credit.

Those who have not travelled with Regent Seven Seas Cruises are often sceptical about the quality of the included excursions, but in fact they are excellent, from helicopter flights above the active volcano on Montserrat to hikes and kayaks among lesser-visited islands such as Martinique and Guadeloupe, along with sailings featuring Panama Canal transits.

What's more, this is a great opportunity to trade up to something even more exclusive, at a very affordable price - either a longer tour, or something with limited numbers or slightly off the beaten track. Of course the included excursions mean that the ships are busy in the mornings and at lunchtimes, but Regent have been doing this for a long time, and their management of passenger flow is excellent, as is the organisation of getting high numbers of guests ashore without jams and delays.
