Regent Repositioning Cruises: Routes, Fares and What Is Included

Regent repositioning cruises are one-way voyages that move Regent Seven Seas’ small all-suite ships between their seasonal regions: the Mediterranean and northern Europe in summer, the Caribbean, South America, Asia and Australia in winter. Most run 14 to 16 nights. The fare includes drinks, specialty restaurants, gratuities, Wi-Fi and shore excursions, which changes the math on a crossing more than on any other itinerary, because you spend so much time aboard.

As of fall 2026, entry-level suites on a 14-night Regent crossing started at roughly $4,700 per person, about $330 a night, and the newest ship cost about twice that. That is several times the per-night fare of a mainstream crossing, but the comparison only makes sense once you add what the mainstream lines charge extra for. This page sets out the routes, what is included, what it costs and who it suits.

How Regent repositions its fleet

Regent sails seven ships, all suites: Seven Seas Navigator, Mariner, Voyager, Explorer, Splendor and Grandeur, plus the new Seven Seas Prestige, which joins in December 2026. They carry from about 500 guests on Navigator to about 820 on Prestige, with roughly two crew members for every three guests or better. Regent sells its crossings under the label Transoceanic Crossings, which is worth knowing when you search its site.

Because the ships are small and the line goes almost everywhere, Regent’s repositioning is broader than most. It moves ships across the Atlantic like everyone else, but also through the Panama Canal, between Asia and Australia, through the Suez Canal and around Africa. Of the 517 upcoming sailings in our repositioning cruise finder, 54 are Regent’s, checked on Regent’s own site in late September 2026. That is as many as Royal Caribbean, with a fleet a fraction of the size.

Regent’s repositioning routes in our data

Across all 54, the median is 15 nights and 45 voyages run 14 nights or longer. The busiest months are January to April 2027, when ships come out of the Caribbean and Asia for the European summer, and October to December 2027, when they go back.

A few routes stand out because few other lines sail them. Seven Seas Explorer’s 19-night Tokyo to Vancouver voyage in May 2027, and the reverse in September, follow the North Pacific route covered in our guide to repositioning cruises to Japan and Asia. Seven Seas Mariner’s 18-night Miami to Rio de Janeiro voyage in January 2027 is one of the more comfortable ways into South America repositioning. And the canal voyages, which Regent runs in both directions through the winter, are covered in our Panama Canal repositioning guide.

What the fare includes, and what changed in 2024

Every Regent fare includes unlimited shore excursions, specialty dining, premium drinks including wine and spirits, gratuities, Wi-Fi, valet laundry and access to parts of the spa. That is the core of Regent’s pitch, and on a crossing it matters because you use the bars, restaurants and laundry every day.

Flights are a different story, and older guides get this wrong. Since July 1, 2024, Regent has sold two fare types, according to the announcement from Regent’s parent company:

• All-Inclusive: everything aboard plus the excursions, but you arrange your own flights.
• Ultimate All-Inclusive: adds round-trip flights in the class you choose, from economy to first, coach transfers between airport and ship, and a credit of up to $500 per suite for a private chauffeur.

On a one-way crossing, the air question decides more than usual. If you take the Ultimate fare, check that the flight covers your home airport at both ends. If you take the cheaper fare, price the one-way flight home before you commit, because it is the one cost Regent no longer absorbs.

The excursions are worth less on a crossing than on a port-heavy cruise, but not nothing. Even the 14-night Barcelona to Miami voyage on Seven Seas Voyager in December 2027 lists up to 59 included excursions, because it calls at several Spanish and Atlantic island ports before the long run west.

What a Regent crossing costs

Regent prices per person, by suite category, and the spread between ships is wide. As of early October 2026, the line’s site showed:

• Seven Seas Voyager, Barcelona to Miami, December 5, 2027, 14 nights: from about $4,675 per person in a Deluxe Veranda Suite, roughly $334 a night. The two lowest categories were already on a wait list.
• Seven Seas Prestige, New York to Barcelona, April 27, 2027, 14 nights: from roughly twice that, reflecting a brand-new ship.

The fairest comparison is against a mainstream crossing with the extras added back in. For two weeks, the add-ons look like this:

A mainstream balcony fare plus a drinks package, gratuities and Wi-Fi can reach $250 to $300 a night on a crossing. At that point an older Regent ship at around $330 is not far off. A light drinker in an inside cabin on a budget line will still pay a fraction of the Regent price, and should.

Small ships on a big ocean

Every Regent suite is a suite, and nearly all have private verandas. On day nine of a crossing, a balcony you can sit on with a book is a different proposition from one you step onto twice between ports. Public rooms are calm, there are no queues to speak of, and with a crew of 455 for 700 guests on Seven Seas Voyager, for example, the service has room to be attentive.

Size cuts the other way in weather. A ship of 500 to 800 guests moves more in a long Atlantic or Pacific swell than a 150,000-ton mainstream ship, and passengers who are sensitive to motion notice it. Choose a midship suite on a lower deck if you are worried, prefer a southern spring or November route over a late-season northern one, and talk to a doctor about prevention before you go.

Seven Seas Prestige deserves a note of its own. Its maiden voyage, according to the line’s parent company, is a 14-night crossing from Barcelona to Miami departing December 13, 2026, and its first transatlantic seasons sold strongly at launch. Expect less discounting on Prestige than on the older ships for some time.

Which Regent ship makes which moves

Each ship tends to stay in its part of the world, so the ship you want largely decides the route. In our data:

If you want an Atlantic crossing specifically, Grandeur, Mariner, Splendor and Prestige cover most of them. You can filter all of them in our finder and sort by month.

Who a Regent crossing suits

A Regent crossing suits someone who has already sailed a few sea days and knows they like them, who drinks wine with dinner and would otherwise buy a package, and who values not signing a bar bill for two weeks. It suits couples who want a quiet ship and solo travelers who like a small enough ship to recognize faces by the end of the first week.

It suits families poorly, and it is a costly way to find out you are restless at sea. If you have never done a crossing, start with a mainstream line and read our honest answer on whether repositioning cruises are worth it. If you are choosing between luxury lines, Viking’s repositioning cruises are the most common alternative: adults only, slightly lower fares, but with less included.

For the best price, watch the older ships on the busiest routes. Mariner, Voyager and Navigator cross the Atlantic and the canal every year, and those are the voyages where Regent’s promotions, such as shipboard credit or past-guest savings, most often appear. On the same 14 nights, the gap between an older ship and Prestige can be several thousand dollars per person.
