maxbranning87 8 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thank you. I have not cruised before and I have been re searching about a few different cruise lines, it is a hard debate against Seabourn and Regent, what is the feedback of the mentioned cruise lines?

sammy sun 1084 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi max welcome to the forum. Two pretty nice cruise lines to start off with. What attracted you to those two? I haven't cruised with either but just on outside opinion, I think Seabourn look stunning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxbranning87 8 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thank you for your comments Sammy Sun, I have considered these two cruise lines, as we do like our fine luxury holidays and also going to exquisite destinations. Yes I quite agree, Seabourn do look a little more luxurious, my wife and I are thinking of something for the year of 2017, somewhere possibly further afield, in the exotic regions. I don't suppose one has seen anything that looks particularly interesting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Land Ahoy 797 Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 Hi Welcome to the forum. I have sailed with Seabourn, Silversea and Crystal but unfortunately not Regent. All the three 6* star lines offer a great cruise experience but they do have differences. Silversea and Crystal have formal nights whereas Seabourn and Regent are country club casual. The "normal" suites on Seabourn and Siversea are larger than those on Crystal but they are all tastefully decorated. The food on all three is well above that served on most cruise lines but I do think Crystal is just a little ahead of the other two but I would happily eat on all three. The entertainment is limited on all three lines but again Crystal comes out on top, the daytime educational courses are very good (I did a Photoshop course and learnt things I didn't know the programme was capable of, in addition it's free). I think your choice of potential cruise lines is excellent but just a warning, you will find that if you then chose to sail on a mainstream cruise line in future you may be underwhelmed by the experience. I hope somebody can give you some feedback on Regent. sammy sun 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maxbranning87 8 Posted May 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 What great advise Land Ahoy, I do thank you for your tips. I had not considered or looked at Crystal cruises, however taking your knowledgeable advise on board i will do some re-search. I myself would be very keen to take part in one activities. What a great forum for great advice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starboard 13 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I see Crystal seem to be expanding at the moment and have a new ocean ship on the horizon as well as their river cruise venture. Depending on when you're looking to travel max it may well be worth considering their new ship. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starboard 13 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Having said that, I just literally read a post on cruise critic as I'd finished writing that and it looks like the new Crystal ship doesn't arrive till 2018. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MG16 149 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 I haven't been on either but I would love to go on Regent! Absolutely everything is included, I don't usually go with the cruise lines excursions but because they are included would love to go with them and visit places like Angkor Wat or the Mekong Delta.
