Luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas will no longer include flights and airport transfers in its all-inclusive cruise fare for bookings made from 1 July.

Instead, for guests who would still like to book these as part of their package, Regent has introduced a new Ultimate All-Inclusive fare.

It has not specified the price difference between the All-Inclusive and Ultimate All-Inclusive fares.

Regent President Andrea DeMarco said feedback from agents and guests had shown that clients wanted the flexibility to plan their travel to and from their cruise, including the option to use credit card or airline loyalty points to buy their flights.

For all reservations made from 1 July, guest will be able to choose an All-Inclusive fare and book flights and transfers separately, or an Ultimate All-Inclusive fare with return economy flights and coach transfers included.

Guests booking the Ultimate fare will be able to upgrade to premium economy, business or first class flights, and they will receive a $500 per cabin ($250 per guest) voucher for the Blacklane private chauffer service, which can be used to get to or from their UK airport or to upgrade their coach transfers to or from the ship.

Reservations for guests who booked prior to 1 July, 2024, will remain unchanged with amenities included as originally selected.
