Regent Seven Seas Cruises®, the world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line, and Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the largest alliance of independent hotel brands, have announced the exciting next phase of their landmark partnership, almost a year after their successful collaboration began.

Introducing The Concierge Collection

Regent Seven Seas Cruises and GHA have created The Concierge Collection – a series of multi-day land programmes designed for luxury cruisers who wish to extend their voyage. Imagine sipping cocktails on a rooftop bar at the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel or watching breathtaking sunsets at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso in Athens. Guests can also look forward to visiting iconic sites such as Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and Westminster Abbey in London.

Immersive Experiences in Europe

From 2025, discerning travellers will have the opportunity to enjoy a three-night land programme at prestigious GHA properties in six European cities. These immersive experiences will be available on five of the six ships in The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet®. These land programmes serve as a spectacular prelude to 12 all-inclusive, ultra-luxury sailings.

We’ve been thrilled that our partnership with Global Hotel Alliance has been met with so much excitement, and we’re delighted to announce the next phase of this collaboration,” said Caroline Smith, Managing Director, International for Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “This announcement, marking the one-year anniversary of our partnership, exemplifies our commitment to providing the highest standards of luxury whether on land or at sea. These extended overnight experiences will offer our guests unparalleled immersion in incredible European destinations before embarking on one of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet for an all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise.

A Continued Partnership

Jelena Kezika, GHA’s Senior Director Strategy, added, “Joining forces with ultra-luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises in 2023 was a significant step for us. It has allowed us to diversify our loyalty programme offering and rewarding cruisers with D$, (DISCOVERY Dollars) our rewards currency, and elite status in GHA DISCOVERY. We are delighted to build on this partnership and, through the land programme, welcome luxury travellers to some of the best hotels in the world in six European cities in 2025.”
