Sun-Drenched Seas Await
The colors of the tropics are straight out of an artist's palette. Emerald green palms sway in the ocean breezes. Puffs of sugar-white clouds waft by in the royal-blue sky. Turquoise seas break ever so gently upon the pink hued beaches. This is paradise, pure and simple. But it's not an artist's rendering. It is the tropics a la Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
A world of color, islands of joy, and plenty of time to savor each moment. Aboard or ashore you will be captivated by a never-ending series of delightful moments and fascinating discoveries.
Paradise Whispered on a Tropical Breeze
What ignites your heart's desire? Does an early morning horseback ride through the rain forest's deep, green heart beckon to you? Do you long to soar with wild abandon along a jungle canopy? It is catching a glimpse of a humpback whale calving the surface of sapphire-blue waters off Dominica? Or perhaps it's doing nothing at all but relaxing on a moon-white beach, caressed by warm zephyrs, without a care in the world. From ocean kayaking to exploring ancient temples in the jungle to duty free shopping in colorful colonial ports, here are the adventures to last a lifetime.
