Part of what makes a cruise with Regent so rewarding is the way they augment traditional shipboard activities with bridge instruction and other enhancements. They also offer an excellent lecture series on select voyages. Lecturers provide insight and perspectives far beyond what you would read in the average guidebook. Many of their speakers have firsthand knowledge of these locales, and most come from the foreign service and leading universities, or perhaps from the world of the arts or journalism.

Or what better way to truly immerse yourself in a destination and enrich oneself than to learn about culture through an exploration of the arts? These enrichment programs include special guest stars giving lectures on art and photography, top Cabaret and Opera performances, or accomplished local musicians playing for you while you learn their style of dance.
