I went on a $4,800 ultra-luxury cruise. This is what makes that price worth it.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises invited me to sail on its new ultra-luxury ship, the Seven Seas Grandeur.
The ship's 2024 itineraries range from $4,800 to $84,000 per person.
This price includes roundtrip flights, pre-cruise hotels, food, drinks, and excursions.

My favorite part of Regent Seven Seas Cruises' newest ultra-luxury Grandeur ship wasn't its large cabins with walk-in closets, peaceful pool deck, or even the chandelier-lined lounge.
