The Observation Lounge

Perched majestically at the ship’s prow on deck 14, the Observation Lounge offers a panoramic stage of sea and sky that transforms with the day’s passage. During the golden hour, as the vessel glides from port, white-gloved attendants circulate with artisanal canapés while champagne flows with discreet abundance. The gentle melodies from a gleaming baby grand piano provide the perfect soundtrack to nature’s most cinematic moments.

The Mariner Lounge

The Mariner Lounge exudes the rarefied atmosphere of an Upper East Side salon, where midcentury elegance meets contemporary sophistication. The bespoke cocktail menu features inspired creations like “The Mariner” – a sublime composition of aged Château Garreau Cuvée Royale Armagnac, velvety Grand Marnier, and Chambord, delicately punctuated with fresh blueberries.

The resident pianist, a virtuoso who seamlessly transitions between various contemporary requests, elevates the experience from merely memorable to utterly transcendent.

The Navigator Lounge

By night, the Navigator Lounge transforms into an intimate cabaret where well-heeled passengers surrender to rhythm and melody. A charismatic ensemble creates an ambiance that beckons one to the dance floor, while discreetly positioned alcoves offer sanctuary for tête-à-têtes away from admiring gazes.

As daylight bathes the space, the adjoining teak terrace becomes a sun-dappled retreat where artisanal libations offer refreshment amidst the gentle maritime breeze.

Stars Lounge

The legendary musical duo Boogie and Kasia have transformed the Stars Lounge into something of a maritime institution. For fifteen remarkable years – an unprecedented tenure in the world of luxury cruising – they have cultivated an atmosphere of sophisticated revelry aboard Regent’s luxury vessels.

Boogie’s masterful keyboard work provides the foundation for Kasia’s luminous vocals and magnetic presence, creating evenings of such distinctive charm that they become the stories one recounts long after disembarkation.

Coffee Connection

Discerning coffee enthusiasts gravitate to the Coffee Connection, where skilled baristas practice their craft with meticulous attention to detail. From velvety espressos to perfectly balanced Americanos and cloud-like cappuccinos, every cup represents a commitment to excellence.

This understated sanctuary of caffeinated perfection, situated just off the Garden Promenade on Deck 6, has become the preferred morning ritual for the vessel’s senior officers – including the Captain himself – a testament to its undeniable quality.

Constellation Theater

The grand Constellation Theater serves as the vessel’s cultural epicenter, hosting everything from theatrical productions to enlightening presentations by world-class commentators. While the resident ensemble of ten performers presents productions ranging from “Tuxedo” to the more adventurous “Blazing Boots” (an ambitious if not entirely successful fusion of Texan aesthetics and contemporary burlesque). Discerning theatre-goers might find the shows somewhat clichéd. Indeed, it is often the visiting artists who provide the most captivating evenings of entertainment.

The Pool Bar

At the Pool Bar, vacation hedonism reaches its zenith through expertly crafted summertime elixirs and frosted concoctions. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between relaxation and conviviality, creating an idyllic setting for cultivating new acquaintances or rekindling established friendships beneath a gentle canopy of shade.
