As is the case with more of the upscale cruise lines, enrichment programs and theme cruises are becoming a primary focus. With many ships calling at a lot of the same ports these days, the cruise lines are using onboard educational programs to differentiate themselves. Many are inviting guest lecturers on their cruises, have special programs on board, and provide additonal shore excursions tied in with the current programs being offered. Regent Seven Seas Cruises is a leader in luxury crusing, and also includes the types of lectures and entertainment options focused on specific themes and interest areas. These are complimentary to all guests on the voyage. If you want more than just an introductory view, they offer their Circles of Interest Program, allowing for a small group feeling to a deeper learning experience with fellow cruisers of similar interests. I have listed some of the various theme and specialty cruises they offer.

There are basically 9 types of theme cruises offered by Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Food and Wine, Photography, History, Archaeology and Literature, Performing Arts, Art, Design and Cultures, Active Exploration and Wellness, Antiques, Jewelry and Shopping, Environment and Marine Life, and Family and Friends.
These links give you a wide variety of programs and ports to visit. Once you sail with Regent Seven Seas Cruises, you become a member of the Seven Seas Society, their past passenger program. They have a 5 tier loyalty program to benefit more each cruise you take. This can include free transfers, private cocktail receptions, special voyages, and their new inclusive liquor policy. They are all about service during and after the cruise.
