Interliners are often put off by the alleged high price of a Regent Seven Seas cruise. Well we want to help put that in perspective by doing a side by side comparison for you with a comparable cruise on Princess.
Remember that the interline price on a Regent Seven Seas cruise includes pretty much everything, while the interline price on a Princess cruise just includes the cruise.
So let’s look at two similar sailings side by side so you can see the real price difference.
| Cruise Line | Regent Seven Seas | Princess |
| Ship | Seven Seas Voyager | Island Princess |
| Embark Port | Barcelona | Venice |
| Disembark Port | Venice | Rome |
| Total Nights | 11 | 12 |
| Ports Visited | 8 | 7 |
| Size of Ship (guests) | 490 | 2,657 |
| Staff to Guest Ratio | 1 to 1.4 | 1 to 3 |
| Space to Guess Ratio | 58.3 | 34.6 |
| Suite Size | 356 | 302 |
| Category | Dlx Verandah Suite | Mini-Suite |
| Cruise Fare | $3,375 | $1,999 |
| Shore Excursions | Included | $1,000.00 |
| Gratuities | Included | $144.00 |
| Bar Drinks with Tip | Included | $200.00 |
| Frozen Drinks/Bottled Water/Soft Drinks | Included | $80.00 |
| Alternative Dining | Included | $135.00 |
| Government Fees & Taxes | Included | $201.00 |
| Total per Person | $3,375 | $3,759 |
| Spend per Day | $306.82 | $313.25 |
So even if you were to book a balcony on the Princess sailing, it is $1,599, $400 less than the mini-suite and you still spent as much as you would have booking the Regent Seven Seas and get a cabin that is not as nice as the suite on Regent Seven Seas!
I tried to be conservative on the costs. I know there are interliners out there who are going to spend well over $20 day on drinks and more than $8 a day on bottled water, soft drinks and frozen drinks. Plus in the Med is it very easy to spend more than $140 per port on a shore excursion, especially the really cool ones.
So the next time you see prices on Regent Seven Seas, remember that those prices includes a lot more than just the cruise.
