Regent Seven Seas Cruises has confirmed an expansion of its Immersive Overnights collection – as exclusively revealed by LATTE last month following our one-on-one with Steve Odell, Chief Sales Officer – with a brand new Sunset Over Tuscany Mediterranean sailing. Immersive Overnights voyages allows luxury cruisers to see another side of fascinating destinations with special evening shoreside experiences and in-port stays exclusively crafted to make each overnight call a memorable part of the journey. This exclusive collection, also exclusively foreshadowed by LATTE last December, features destinations in the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and Asia, with itineraries between October 2024 and October 2025 ranging from 7 to 14 nights in length.

This new addition will be offered to guests aboard Seven Seas Mariner® for 12 nights offering multiple days visiting Valetta, Malta; Naples, Italy; Tuscany (Livorno), Italy; and Provence (Marseille), France. Sailing from Trieste, Italy to Barcelona, Spain on 22 October 2025, the cruise will allow guests the chance for even greater exploration of some of the Mediterranean’s most culturally rich destinations with evening shore excursions such as a Sunset Wine Tasting & Dinner at a Tuscan Villa and Discover Florence at Sunset. Regent has also developed an additional 24 new shore excursions as part of the program, making a total of 50 for the collection, plus 12 new land programs. New shoreside experiences could see luxury travellers savouring a mouth-watering Kobe beef dinner in Japan, sampling acclaimed Croatian wines in some of the country’s most prestigious vineyards or enjoying the freedom of a leisurely drive along Italy’s breathtaking Amalfi Coast.

“We are incredibly excited to offer such a diverse selection of travel experiences to enrich our unique Immersive Overnights collection, as well as adding a completely new itinerary for guests to enjoy,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “The collection features an overnight stay and multiple days in every single port of call, allowing discerning travelers the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in Europe and Asia’s rich history and vibrant cultures, all while reveling in spacious all-suite accommodations and personalized service onboard The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet.”

Many of the 24 exciting new shore excursions allow cruise guests to discover captivating evening adventures.

Plus, there’s the option to explore world-class art, indulge in sunset wine-tasting, and savour Michelin-starred cuisine.

The 12 new mid-cruise land programs provide guests with the opportunity to stay in-destination, travelling deeper into the country for further destination exploration offering multiple days ashore and include hotel accommodations, meals, tastings, and tours. Luxury travellers could find themselves off the beaten path relaxing in natural hot springs in Tuscany; or exploring the ruins of Herculaneum before a hands-on cooking class during a drive along the Amalfi Coast. A two-night land program sees guests exploring the fascinating and diverse history of Berlin and its sister-city Potsdam. Prices start from AU$2,150 (NZ$2,300) per guest.
