Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Global Hotel Alliance (GHA) have unveiled a collection of joint itineraries that provide guests with an immersive experience both on land and at sea.
Debuting in 2025, the “Concierge Collection” comprises three-night pre-cruise stays at six of GHA’s luxury hotels in Rome, Istanbul, Venice, Athens, London and Amsterdam.
The land stays will be twinned with 12 all-inclusive, ultra-luxury sailings across five of Regent’s six ships, including Grandeur, Splendor, Navigator, Voyager and Mariner. Hotels featured in the programme include the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi in Rome, Ciragan Palace Kempinski in Istanbul, Conservatorium in Amsterdam, San Clemente Palace Kempinski in Venice, Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso in Athens and the Hotel Café Royal in London.
Each hotel stay includes a private cocktail reception, dinner and an exclusive excursion such as exploring Rome in a vintage Fiat 500 or Vespa, a sunset tour of the Temple of Poseidon in Athens, a private tour of Westminster Abbey or sailing on Amsterdam’s Marker Lake.Caroline Smith, Managing Director, International for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, says: “These extended overnight experiences will provide our guests with unparalleled immersion in a range of incredible European destinations before joining one of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet, for an all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise.”
Prices for the combined Concierge Collection pre-cruise programme and all-inclusive cruise start at £4,549 per guest.The collaboration also continues to benefit GHA Discovery members, who receive “top-tier Titanium” status when booking a Regent voyage and can earn rewards to be redeemed at any GHA hotel, resort or palace.
This expansion of Regent’s offerings further solidifies its position in the luxury travel market, providing guests with seamless, high-end experiences from land to sea.
As the travel industry continues to evolve, partnerships like this between cruise lines and hotel alliances are likely to become more common, offering travellers more comprehensive and luxurious holiday options.
