These are three of the smaller ships in a luxury fleet. The fare is built around a single idea: most of what you would normally pay for onboard is already in the price. Regent's all-inclusive fare covers unlimited shore excursions, dining including specialty restaurants, unlimited beverages, a restocked minibar, spa facilities access, prepaid gratuities, Wi-Fi (terms apply), valet laundry and 24-hour in-suite dining (checked Oct 21, 2026). Airfare is not included (checked Oct 21, 2026).
Three highlights that cost nothing extra
1. The specialty restaurants are covered. Chartreuse (modern French), Prime 7 (steakhouse) and Sette Mari at La Veranda (Italian) all appear on the Mariner and Voyager dining pages (checked Oct 21, 2026) (checked Oct 21, 2026), and Splendor adds Pacific Rim, a pan-Asian room with sushi and dim sum (checked Oct 21, 2026). The fare page states that specialty restaurants are covered at no added cost (checked Oct 21, 2026). The practical consequence: you never have to weigh a cover charge against a night out. You only have to weigh a reservation against a seat.
2. Valet laundry is free for everyone. The onboard FAQ says all guests now benefit from free valet laundry service during their cruise (checked Oct 21, 2026). On a 16-night crossing or an 18-night Patagonia loop, that quietly shrinks your suitcase.
3. Shore excursions are unlimited. The fare lists unlimited shore excursions (checked Oct 21, 2026), and the 18-night Buenos Aires round trip on Mariner says up to 29 are included (checked Oct 21, 2026). That figure is specific to that sailing as of 2026-10-21; confirm on https://www.rssc.com/cruises/MAR270202/summary or in your booking.
Who each ship fits
Mariner is the mid-sized, most recently refreshed of the older pair. Its suites were fully updated with new furnishings, hardware and lighting, and the top suite categories got redesigned marble bathrooms (checked Oct 21, 2026). It also sails the long itineraries listed: a 16-night New York to Lisbon crossing and an 18-night Buenos Aires round trip that includes the Drake Passage and Falkland Islands (both as of 2026-10-21; confirm on https://www.rssc.com/cruises/MAR270429/summary and https://www.rssc.com/cruises/MAR270202/summary).
Voyager is the smallest of the three by tonnage and described on its official page as having a private balcony on every suite (checked Oct 21, 2026). It finished its own refresh on May 21, 2026 (checked Oct 21, 2026), so it is the one to check first if you want newly done suites and public spaces.
Splendor is the largest and newest: Regent took delivery on January 30, 2020 (checked Oct 21, 2026). It has the broadest dining list of the three, because Pacific Rim is on the official page and the other two do not list it (checked Oct 21, 2026) (checked Oct 21, 2026) (checked Oct 21, 2026). Its suite sizes run from 307 to 5,089 square feet (checked Oct 21, 2026).
How to choose, in one pass
If you want the newest hardware and the Asian restaurant, pick Splendor. If you want a freshly redone suite on a smaller, quieter ship, compare Mariner and Voyager by itinerary and by the date of their refits. If your budget lives and dies by suite category, read chapter 3 before you read anything else: the categories change what you get at the door, from who carries your bags to whether the dining reservation is guaranteed (checked Oct 21, 2026).
Rules worth knowing before you pack
The evening dress code after 6 p.m. is Elegant Casual: slacks or collared shirts, skirts, slacks or blouses, with clean neutral dress sneakers permitted (checked Oct 21, 2026). Daytime is resort style, and shorts and sneakers are fine in social spaces (checked Oct 21, 2026). Gratuities are included except for services from Serene Spa & Wellness (checked Oct 21, 2026), so the only tipping decision left is at the spa. Wi-Fi comes by Starlink, with two or four complimentary logins depending on suite category (checked Oct 21, 2026).
A sample day on a sea day
Breakfast in La Veranda, which the Voyager page describes as having quiet alcoves and made-to-order omelets (checked Oct 21, 2026). A late-morning lecture or tasting. Lunch at the Pool Grill. Afternoon tea or the spa. An early specialty dinner, then the cabaret show or the casino (checked Oct 21, 2026). Nothing on that list carries a separate charge in the fare, except spa gratuities (checked Oct 21, 2026) (checked Oct 21, 2026). That is the whole appeal in a paragraph.
What the lite guide will not tell you
It does not tell you which cabins to avoid, how to sequence your reservations on day one, how to use card portals and transfer partners for the flights and hotels around your cruise, or what to put on the cost sheet. Those are in the full guide below.
Three quick rules before you book
- Compare suite category by what it includes, not by square feet. A Concierge suite and a Deluxe Veranda are both listed at 252 square feet on Mariner, but they differ in inclusions (checked Oct 21, 2026).
- Price the flights separately. Airfare is not in the fare (checked Oct 21, 2026).
- Check the date on any virtual tour. The Mariner suite page says its tours predate the Winter 2025 refurbishment (checked Oct 21, 2026).
This is the free lite guide. The full day-by-day guide, with maps, photo stops, rain plans and the points playbook, is part of PerkJolt All-Access.
