In the summer of 2022, my sister and I booked a long-awaited cruising adventure on the Regent Seven Seas Explorer.
The 10-day cruise departed from Athens and stopped at nine ports around Greece, Italy, and Turkey. It disembarked in Rome.
Regent Seven Seas markets itself as the world’s most luxurious cruise line, so its hefty price tag makes sense. It cost $12,600 a person to stay in a double-occupancy concierge suite, which included taxes, port fees, food, drinks, flights, a hotel before the ship’s departure, gratuities, and everything else on the ship.
The price was quite steep, but we both worked hard and decided to splurge — especially since we planned on this trip being one we’d remember forever.
