Inaugural Sailing with Regent Seven Seas Grandeur: A 5-Day Luxury Escape

There’s something magical about stepping onto a brand-new ship—and Regent Seven Seas’ Grandeur lives up to its name in every possible way. I had the incredible opportunity to join the christening voyage of this exquisite vessel on a 3-night sailing out of Miami. Here’s a day-by-day recap of the journey—full of luxury, elegance, and unforgettable experiences.

Day 1: Travel Day – Flying High What a beautiful day to fly above the clouds! Excitement was in the air—and so were a few surprises. Let’s just say, we had some unexpected VIP company on the flight... 😉

Day 2: Welcome Aboard the Grandeur From the moment we arrived at the port in Miami, Regent’s service was flawless. Check-in? Zero lines and a welcome cocktail at the bar—yes, please! Our suite was stunning—spacious, with a large bathroom, plenty of closet space, and an incredibly comfortable bed. The highlight of the day? Meeting Sarah Fabergé (yes, that Fabergé), the ship’s glamorous Godmother. Dinner was a culinary dream, capped off with a gorgeous dessert inspired by the iconic blue Fabergé egg. Naturally, I wore my blue egg necklace—had to match the vibe! Despite the clouds, Miami looked amazing from the deck. And yes, Richie looked dashing in our suite—he’s loving the luxury life as much as I am!

Day 3: Sea Day Serenity & Sparkle There’s nothing like a full day at sea to really explore and enjoy everything the Grandeur has to offer. The day started with an engaging 3-panel seminar—love learning while I travel! We saw the Regent Fabergé Egg on display. Double wow! Lunch? A fresh and flavorful Italian seafood experience. Of course, we had to jump into a game of trivia. We toured the Grand Suite—truly a next-level experience in elegance. Dinner at Compass Rose was stunning, and again, Richie was looking sharp! Sea days are my favorite: relaxing, connecting with new friends, and watching the endless blue ocean drift by...

Day 4: Freeport, Bahamas – Blue Waters & Culinary Delights Woke up docked in beautiful Freeport, surrounded by that iconic Bahamian turquoise water. We explored several suite categories—each one thoughtfully designed and luxuriously comfortable. Sushi Station was superb! I joined an afternoon culinary class where we learned to make lemon-Parmesan pasta and crêpes—simple, elegant, and delicious! Played Battleship later... and yes, Richie sunk mine! Dinner at Prime 7 was hands-down one of the best meals we've ever had. Every dish was unique and perfectly executed—we tried everything!

Day 5: Disembarkation – Bittersweet Goodbye Woke up back in Miami, time to say goodbye... boo! Disembarkation was seamless—no lines again, which is so appreciated. Left rainy Miami and returned to Tucson, where the holidays were already twinkling.

Final Thoughts: Why Regent Seven Seas? This short voyage aboard Grandeur was a whirlwind of luxury, impeccable service, and unforgettable moments. Regent truly does all-inclusive right—gorgeous suites, gourmet dining, top-notch service, and elegant experiences around every corner. Planning a milestone trip? Celebrating something special?
