One Of My Shore Excursions Is In Wait List Status. When Will I Know If I Am Confirmed?
Please note that we are continually doing everything possible to clear wait lists for our guests, and if/when space becomes available, we clear the list in the order the wait list was received. Regretfully, we have to go through a process of requesting additional space from our tour operators and this can take some time as they may have to source additional equipment and guides at their end. The wait lists are currently run approximately once per week and at that time; we send our requests to the various operators for additional space. Each sail date can have different allotments based on several factors, such as availability of guides, coaches, boats, planes, time in port, etc. Nevertheless, if and when we are able to confirm additional space, we will do so in as timely a manner as possible.

How Do I Pre-Book Spa Services?
Guests may begin reserving treatments at Serene Spa & Wellness™ by sending an email to SereneSpa@rssc.com, beginning 60 days before your cruise up until 7 days prior to cruise. Guests under 16 are not permitted in the Spa or Fitness Center unless accompanied by an adult.

I Am In Suite 816 On Seven Seas Mariner. Why Do My Bag Tags Say Deck 8F?
The F means Forward deck which helps in the loading of bags on the pier.

Is There A Limit On Baggage?
The amount of personal baggage allowed on our vessels is not limited, but airlines do have limitations so please check with your particular airline. The customary allowance per person is two checked pieces that must not exceed 107 inches (273 cm) when length, height and width measurements are combined. No single piece may exceed the three-dimensional sum of 62 inches (158 cm) and a weight of 70 lbs. (31.75 kg).

What If I Am Celebrating A Special Occasion?

What Is Your Policy On Passports And Visas?
It is the policy of Regent Seven Seas Cruises to require passports for ALL travelers for all voyages, regardless of guests' nationality and ports of call and countries visited. You must obtain and carry a valid passport to board a Regent Seven Seas Cruises vessel. Passport Cards or a copy of a passport are not accepted. Passports must be valid for six months beyond the conclusion of your cruise. Please obtain or renew your passports early. Consult your travel professional or customs authority for documentation requirements for your cruise. It is the guest’s responsibility to ensure that they have all necessary documents to participate in the cruise. It is the sole responsibility of each guest to obtain and have available the appropriate valid travel and health documents for their chosen itinerary.

Blanket visas through Regent Seven Seas Cruises cover only our shore excursions, not trips that passengers decide to do by themselves. It is the passenger's responsibility to determine passport and visa requirements for their cruise itinerary. It is the guests' responsibility to ensure that they are in possession of all required visas and travel documents prior to sailing.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has partnered with VisaCentral to provide our guests with comprehensive, accurate information regarding travel visas. Some of VisaCentral’s guest travel services include visa application kits and assistance with obtaining other visas where required. Visit the Global Visa Support Centre on the VisaCentral page for assistance with visa applications.

When Do I Receive Tickets And Documentation?
After receipt of final payment and required guest information, cruise documents will be sent to guests via email, and a welcome letter with luggage tags will be sent to guests by traditional mail, approximately 45 days prior to departure.

May I Pre-Purchase Transfers For My Disembarkation?
Return transfers may be purchased in advance or arranged onboard during your cruise and billed to your shipboard account.

When Should I Arrive At My Embarkation Port?
We strongly recommend arriving at your embarkation port at least 1 night before your cruise departure, regardless of the port. This allows extra time for any flight or travel delays and ensures you are fully prepared to board your ship on time.

For Alaska Voyages, it’s particularly important to arrive a day early. Due to the Jones Act (Merchant Marine Act of 1920), guests are prohibited from joining the ship mid-cruise if embarking from Vancouver, Canada. Additionally, the remote nature of Alaska’s ports makes it very challenging to catch up with the ship mid-cruise if you miss embarkation in Seward, Alaska. To avoid any complications, arriving at least 1 day prior to your departure date is highly advised.

When Is Embarkation And Disembarkation?
Guests embarkation time vary by suites and Seven Seas Society status. Please see below for a full breakdown. Guests sailing from a U.S. port must embark the ship no later than two hours prior to sailing time. This is mandatory in order to meet U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements. All other sailings require guests to embark no later than an hour and 30 minutes prior to sailing time. For disembarkation, guests should plan on vacating their suites shortly after the scheduled arrival time into port. Cruise-only guests should not schedule flights prior to four hours after disembarkation.

Will We Need To Go Through Customs?
Upon returning to the United States, all baggage is subject to inspection by U.S. Customs Service. Guests originating or terminating their cruise in a foreign port may also be subject to inspection by local customs officials. Residents of the United States are allowed a duty-free exemption of $800 per person and those over the age of 21 may include one liter of liquor and one carton of cigarettes in their exempted purchases.

What Can Shipboard Credits Be Applied To Pre-Cruise?
Shipboard Credits may be applied toward the purchase of Regent Choice Shore Excursions, Executive Collection/Private Car Tours and Culinary Arts Kitchen Classes aboard Seven Seas Explorer®, Seven Seas Splendor®, Seven Seas Grandeur® and Seven Seas Prestige™. Shipboard Credits may not be applied towards pre-cruise spa treatments, land programs, hotel packages or transfers.

Are Shipboard Credits Issued And Applied By Guest Level Or By Suite?
Shipboard Credits are issued and applied by guest.

If Shipboard Credit Is Redeemed Pre-Cruise, Will Guest Still Receive The Note Card In-Suite Upon Embarkation That Details The Shipboard Credit Applied And/Or Remaining?
Yes - if a booking had a Shipboard Credit, the guest will still receive a note card on board that details the amount already applied and the amount remaining.

If A Purchase Is Made Using A Shipboard Credit Pre-Cruise And The Guest/Travel Agent Cancels The Purchase, Will The Shipboard Credit Be Reapplied To The Booking For Use Pre-Cruise And/Or On Board?
Yes.

What If A Guest/Travel Agent Wishes To Purchase Both Eligible And Non-Eligible Items?
The Shipboard Credit amount will only be applied toward the eligible items; a credit card will be required for the balance and for those items that are not eligible.
