Regent Seven Seas Free Shore Excursions

Regent Seven Seas are offering free shore excursions to their passengers for cruises in 2010. This adds to the overall value of a Regent Seven Seas cruise as passengers already receive free alcoholic and soft drinks, free speciality dining and their gratuities (tips) included in the price.

Some people will say that Regent Seven Seas cruises are not cheap cruises, however if you add up all this added value and remember the fact that to all intents and purpose you are travelling in a luxury 5 star floating hotel, are they expensive? If only more companies would follow Regent Seven Seas free shore excursions policy.
