RSSC-Regent Seven Seas Cruises has expanded its 2026 holiday programme with the introduction of 5 new multi-day pre- and post-cruise land programmes in Europe, together with more than 50 new seasonal shore excursions. The additions will be available on voyages aboard Seven Seas Navigator, Seven Seas Voyager and the inaugural season of Seven Seas Prestige, offering guests a deeper exploration of Mediterranean holiday traditions before, during and after their cruises.
The new land programmes have been developed exclusively for Seven Seas Navigator, which will spend its first full winter season in the Mediterranean. The itineraries focus on Christmas markets, regional culinary traditions and cultural heritage in destinations including Barcelona, Rome, Tuscany and Viterbo, with prices starting from US$2,399 per guest. Regent stated that the programmes were designed to extend the cruise experience ashore by providing greater immersion in the festive customs and traditions of the Mediterranean before the holiday season.
Among the new offerings is the 3-night Holiday Magic in Catalonia programme, available before the December 7th, 2026 departure of the 14-night Southern Mediterranean Sojourn. The itinerary explores Barcelona's Christmas markets, the Gothic Quarter, Montjuïc and the Spanish Village, before continuing to Girona to experience the city's seasonal celebrations and historic attractions.
Another 3-night programme, Holiday Magic in Rome and Viterbo, precedes the December 21st, 2026 sailing of Spice Trail Sail. The itinerary combines visits to Rome's principal landmarks, including the Vatican, with the Christmas markets of Viterbo, highlighting the region's festive traditions and Italian cuisine.
Guests sailing on the same voyage may also choose the Tuscany's Winter Magic programme, which includes Florence, the Val d'Orcia region, Pienza and Montepulciano. The itinerary combines Renaissance art, regional gastronomy, artisan workshops, wine tastings and Christmas markets before concluding in Rome ahead of embarkation.
In addition to the land programmes, Regent has introduced more than 50 new holiday-themed shore excursions during the 2026 festive season. Several excursions are included within the line's all-inclusive fare, while premium Regent Choice experiences are available from US$119 per guest.
