Port of call

When the weather in Britain turns, sail into the horizon on a Regent ship bound for the Sunshine State. In Florida, temperatures are delightful year-round, Art Deco buildings populate the iconic South Beach, and a number of legendary literary figures have left their legacy in Key West. The state’s juxtaposition of Latin and South American influences makes it a hub of entrancing colours, flavours and cultural traditions.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises emphasises immersive exploration. As such, guests are privy to a suite of included shoreside experiences: in Miami, visit the exquisite Vizcaya Museum and Gardens; in Key West, tour President Truman’s Little White House; in Tampa, watch artisans demonstrate the art of hand-rolling cigars. Anchors have barely lifted before being dropped again in the Caribbean. Here, you’ll find the same limpid waters but rather than bustling metropolises, discover serene islands where everything seems enhanced: the heat hangs heavy, the plants are technicolour, and the air vibrates with the sound of local fauna. As far as indulgence goes, Regent's Caribbean excursions offer hedonism in spades. Back on board, what will you choose? A blissful massage? A wine tasting? Perhaps a cabaret show, some designer shopping, sunset cocktails, or all of the above? Your choice. This is five-star cruising, your way.
