We’re playing matchmaker and introducing you to the best luxury cruise for you based on your hobbies and passions.

About 31.7 million travelers set sail on a cruise in 2024, according to data from tahe Cruise Lines International Association; up 7 percent from just 5 years before. (For perspective, that’s more than the population of Pennsylvania, Illinois, and South Carolina combined.)

Cruise companies are unveiling an incredible supply of excursions in lockstep with increased demand. These aren’t your grandparents’ cruises, though. Nor are they the quick, kid-friendly adventures that dish up so-so buffet fare, cookie-cutter shows and trivia nights. Many modern-day cruise ships harness the philosophy of “unreasonable hospitality,” introducing guests to waves of food, wine, sport, spa, and cultural riches.

We’ve sailed with them all (some days, “research” looks a bit different than others!) and have been most blown away by the offerings from Regent Seven Seas. The following brand-new journeys showcase why Regent has been deemed the “world’s most luxurious cruise line.” With so many incredible options available, we dove into all the options to pair you up with your sojourn soulmate. All aboard!

Best for Golf Lovers: Seven Seas Grandeur®
Whether you’re a hobby golfer who dabbles at the driving range or a serious duffer who belongs to a country club and aims for birdie play, this year’s Spotlight Voyage on the Seven Seas Grandeur® will likely score a hole-in-one with your heart. Hosted by iconic Swedish golfer Annika Sörenstam, passengers will cruise the British and Irish Isles for 2 weeks, having the chance to play at 6 prestigious and exclusive courses, including past British Open hosts Royal Lytham & St. Annes in England and the Turnberry’s Ailsa course in Scotland. Keep those clubs handy to take on The Strand Course at Portstewart Golf Club in Northern Ireland. No matter how your rounds end, the adventure starts in style, with a meet-and-greet cocktail party with Sörenstam herself. (Perhaps she can coach us on our swing?)

Best for Car Buffs: Seven Seas Splendor®
Your checkered flag awaits aboard Seven Seas Splendor® during July 2025, when Regent kicks off its unforgettable cruise in collaboration with the iconic British luxury car company Aston Martin. Sure, travel on the open waters feels slow and steady, as the boat makes stops in Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Provence, Saint-Tropez, Monte Carlo, Portofino, Tuscany, and Rome. But the action inspired by Aston Martin’s Formula One team, Aramco, is fast, furious, and fun. Guests will be able to meet Pedro de la Rosa (a veteran of over 100 Grand Prix races), tour a full-size replica of one of the team’s race cars, try their hand at an Aston Martin simulator that takes “drivers” through a virtual circuit, and a visit to Prince Rainier’s personal car collection. The cherry on top? A panoramic helicopter flight viewing the race course in Monaco.

Best for Trendsetters: Seven Seas Prestige®
If you like your personal space—and being ahead of the crowd—book on Regent’s new ultra-luxury ship, Seven Seas Prestige®. You definitely won’t be duplicating any other traveler’s experience if you call dibs on a room during her maiden voyage in 2026. If you call this your home away from home, you’ll be treated to one of the highest passenger to space ratios in the cruise industry. (Capacity is up to 850 guests.) We’re already swooning over the spacious suites, lavish restaurants, and top-tier restaurants and bars. The free amenities sweeten the deal…and mean that you can save your cash to invest in the next chic handbag before it’s cool. Fine wines and spirits, entertainment, unlimited internet access, free valet laundry, gratuities, and more are all on the house.

Best for Foodies: Seven Seas Mariner®
If you’ve been hesitant to book a cruise because you feel like you might miss the action on land, bring your appetite and step aboard the Seven Seas Mariner®. This ship allows guests to savor immersive overnight stops at ports so everyone can explore and eat their way through the local culture. We’re all set to channel our inner Stanley Tucci during the “Sunset Over Tuscany” voyage that will sail from Trieste, Italy to Barcelona, Spain with stops in Malta, Naples, Tuscany and Provence. When we spotted a Sunset Wine Tasting & Dinner at a Tuscan villa on the itinerary, we were practically already packing our bags.
