Splendor resumes inaugural sailings
Regent Seven Seas Cruises will return to sailing with Seven Seas Splendor cruising around the British Isles in September. The cruise will be the start of
the ship’s inaugural sailings. It only completed two cruises with guests before Covid after it was christened in February 2020. An 11-night voyage from
Southampton, visiting Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland, will set sail on September 11. After that, Splendor will sail
to the Mediterranean before crossing the Atlantic to sail in the Caribbean. The rest of the fleet will return in phases. All passengers must be fully-
vaccinated against Covid at least two weeks before departure and
undergo pre-boarding testing. The line has a new cruise and
rail programme for next year, covering the Canadian Rockies, the Swiss Alps, the Italian Dolomites and the Andes. An 18-day itinerary including
a cruise from San Francisco to Alaska and a Rocky Mountaineer rail journey, costs from £8,999. The Hiram Bingham train
and Seven Seas Mariner will take passengers from Los Angeles to Lima on another cruise-rail
itinerary. Prices start from £9,799.
