About Our Ship

Its Size and Proportions are Classic.
Its Food and Service Are Exceptional.
Its Itineraries Are Perfect.

Stand alongside the Regal Empress.

With its sleek lines and gleaming white hull, it's presence alone will take your breath away.

Step aboard and you'll discover a cruise ship that seems to have come from another age. A more gracious time, when travelers sought the special beauty and tranquility that only a classic cruise vessel could provide.

The Regal Empress carries only 900 passengers. But it carries them in such perfect comfort, its size quickly becomes irrelevant. Here you'll find abundant personal space in an atmosphere that manages to blend exciting new experiences with familiar comforts.

You'll find services and amenities that seem somehow to be more accommodating and more personal. You'll find a ship where everybody knows your name. And of course, you'll find all the sensory pleasures you expect. Lavish seven-course meals. Fascinating ports of call. As much entertainment and nightlife as you could possibly want. And so many shipboard activities, you'd have to cruise for weeks to sample them all.

    The Regal Empress.

    It's a beautiful cruising ship.

Onboard Activities

Only If You Don't Stop...
To Catch Your Breath!

From the moment your day begins until you turn in for the night, you face tempting recreational choices:

You can do everything, do a little, or do nothing at all.

The fact is, there's so much to do aboard the Regal Empress, there isn't enough
time in the day to enjoy it all.

There's shuffleboard and swimming, of course. Or try your luck with an afternoon of bingo.

Or get physical. Drop in on one of our jazzercise sessions. Work out for a while in our superbly equipped exercise room or jog on our seaside sports deck.

Or just take it easy. Go for a leisurely stroll on the beautiful teak decks. Gaze at the sapphire blue vistas and become one with the rhythm of the water. Or stop by the ship's library and pick out a juicy best seller or one of the dozens of card and board games.

Still too strenuous? Then we suggest serious relaxation. A lazy afternoon working on your tan on a poolside chaise. A soak in one of our bubbling whirlpools. And finally, a professional massage to soothe away any lingering traces of stress and concern.

All this plus a daily calendar of special events, presentations, pastimes and amusements, enough to make you dizzy with choices.

And we haven't even mentioned the night life.

Onboard Dining

Discover An Appetite You Didn't Know You Had.

Maybe it's all that fresh sea air.

Maybe it's the wonderful aromas created by our Regal Empress chefs. But something is causing your mind to wander, as though your next dining experience can't come quickly enough.

We've heard that many times before. Because as you'd expect on a world-class cruising ship, food service aboard the Regal Empress is nothing short of sensational.

The highly trained chefs of the Regal Empress bring you exquisitely prepared breakfasts, lunches and dinners, all served in our elegantly appointed dining room. You'll find all your old favorites, plus culinary temptations destined to become new favorites.

Prime beef. New Zealand lamb. Fresh seafood. Straight from the fisherman's nets.
It's all on the menu. Along with spectacular pasta and specialty entrees, fresh-baked breads and sinfully rich desserts.

Your meals can be as simple or as sumptuous as you'd like. If lighter fare is your preference, you'll find specialty pizzas and sandwiches in the casual shipboard pizzeria. And the new La Trattoria offers still more choices with continental breakfasts, lunches, buffet dinners and tantalizing late-night snacks.

Even when the clock strikes twelve, the food service doesn't stop. Because that signals the start of our lavish midnight buffet and your last chance of the day to sample still more of the creations of our talented chefs.

See, you do have an appetite.

Onboard Nightlife

It Can't Be Bedtime.
The Night is Still Young.

If you thought the daylight hours kept you hopping, wait till the sun goes down. Because a full day aboard the Regal Empress is invariably followed by a full evening.

As darkness falls, you can feel the tempo changing as you and your shipmates get ready for an evening out. Dress up if you like. And if you don't? Don't. Either way, an exciting night on the town awaits just beyond your door. Begin your evening with a stop at the ship's piano bar, where you can enjoy timeless keyboard standards accompanied by your favorite drink or cocktail.

Or move directly to the show lounge for our new, star-studded revue. With its high energy, dazzling costumes and show tune repertoire, this brand new Las Vegas style production will have you rocking in your seat.

 

And since the Regal Empress is also a floating casino, a little gaming may be in order. You can try your luck following the bouncing ball on the roulette wheel. Or the bouncing dice at the craps table. Or try to beat the dealer at the blackjack tables. It's all here. Along with enough slot machines to give your gambling arm a good workout.

Isn't it bedtime yet? Not quite. Not until you've taken a spin around the ship's discotheque. With its high-tech sound system and disco accouterments, it's a night spot that rocks well into the wee hours.
And now, finally, it's bedtime.
