Creator's Key Takeaways

The flight should never ever be the worst part of your vacation. It's the beginning of your vacation.

If you can't afford the travel insurance, you probably can't afford the trip.

Luxury doesn't begin when you step on board the cruise ship. It begins when you start planning your journey.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book a concierge suite or above to receive a complimentary pre-cruise hotel night and priority access to reservations.
Fly business class with lie-flat seats for long-haul flights over 6 hours.
Always purchase travel insurance with at least $10 million in emergency medical coverage.
Arrange VIP meet and greet services for busy international airports.
Arrive at least one day before the cruise to avoid missing the ship due to flight delays.
Never book early morning return flights; aim for flights after 12 noon to allow for disembarkation and customs.

Planning your first Regent Seven Seas cruise? Before you book, there are five things every first time Regent guest needs to know. As a Regent Master’s Degree and CLIA Accredited Advisor with over 110 nights sailing aboard Regent ships across the Caribbean, Europe, French Polynesia, Asia, Alaska, and the Arabian Gulf, these are the nonnegotiables I walk every client through before their first voyage. In this video I cover why your suite category matters more than you think, when business class becomes a requirement rather than a luxury, why travel insurance needs to include cancellation, interruption, and medical coverage, why a pre cruise hotel night can save your entire vacation, and why a private VIP arrival meet and greet is essential at major international airports. Whether you are booking a Regent Seven Seas Explorer sailing, a Regent Splendor voyage, or your very first ultra luxury cruise of any kind, this guide will help you avoid the mistakes most first time cruisers make.
