Regent Seven Seas Splendor Superior Suite Cabin Tour

Suite 832 on Regent Seven Seas Splendor — the Regent Seven Seas cruise line's newest ship at the time of writing — is the most luxurious cabin we have stayed in to date. Not terribly surprising, however, as Splendor is an all-suite ship that cost over $600 million dollars to build. And cabin prices begin at a whopping $700 per person, per night. Yet, as you will see from our review, the suite is worth the hefty price tag if you desire an ultra-luxury sailing experience.

Our home for just over two weeks during our Christmas on the Panama Canal cruise, Suite 832 falls in the Superior Suite category. One step above the entry-level Veranda Suite, this cabin is roughly 400 sq. ft. in size, including the balcony. Larger than the average hotel room in the United States, yet far smaller than the ship's largest Regent Suite (coming in at a massive 4443 sq. ft.), Suite 832 is an incredibly roomy and elegant cruise ship cabin. And what is particularly nice about this suite is its location: middle of the passenger decks, port side, and just forward of midship. It is a quiet location, surrounded by cabins on all sides, and a good distance from the elevators and stairwells. And although we did not know it at the time of booking, the location turned out to be absolutely ideal, as we felt very little of the ship's movement, even on the roughest of sea days (of which we had a few during our Miami to Los Angeles cruise through the Panama Canal).

Now for the details of this gorgeous suite.

Just to the right as you enter the suite, you'll find the bathroom. And this bathroom is absolutely exquisite and quite large for a cabin of this size. It is spacious enough to house a double sink, toilet, and separate bathtub and shower units. Yet unlike on other cruise ships where bathroom storage comes at a premium, there is a ton of storage here with multiple shelves and drawers underneath the sink. There was more than enough space for the two of us and all of the extra items we brought (yes, we are notorious over-packers).

Parallel to the bathroom as you walk towards the balcony is a large walk-in closet. There is a 5-drawer chest immediately on the left and shelves to its top and sides. Although the safe takes up one the shelves, its placement never caused an issue with us running out of space. Then, in addition to the drawers and shelves, there is one large full-size and two divided units for hangable items. Some other nice features of this suite's closet are the large full-size mirror, additional hooks, and the aforementioned safe.

Moving on to the living space, the main area is where we find the incredibly comfortable EliteSlumberTM European king-size bed that faces the balcony windows. We actually prefer this set up to the traditional bed facing the wall configuration, it made it seem like the cabin was larger than it actually was – and it made for some fantastic sunrise wake-up calls.

Parallel to the bed against the left wall is a large desk/vanity unit. This set adds to the ample storage with its four large drawers, two smaller drawers, and a lot of counter space. There is an additional mirror above this unit that helps transition the workspace into a vanity area. Lots of outlets in this area as well.

Next to the unit is a couch and small table that sits across from the large television – a tv that can swing out to face the bed. Underneath the television is a dry bar area that holds a few more cabinets and drawers, as well as the important mini-bar. As Regent is an all-inclusive cruise line, all drinks are included in the cost of the sailing, including the contents of the mini-bar. Our cabin steward, Kristie, did a fantastic job making sure our mini-bar was stocked with our favorite alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

And rounding out the suite is a fairly spacious balcony. Although we have been on balconies larger and deeper than the one we had on Splendor (even on lower-category premium lines like Holland America), we had absolutely nothing to complain about here. It offered plenty of space for the two of us over this 16-night sailing.
