"The ultimate adventure is to go beyond the point where one cannot go."
That was the opinion of the late explorer Bruce Chatwin, who penned that thought while exploring Patagonia. Perhaps that is what motivates us to travel in regions of the earth little visited by mankind. The eagerness to know the unknown, to satisfy one's curiosity and to explore both vast spaces and minute worlds differentiates us from other species. The urge is so compelling that some, like the early polar explorers Shackleton and Franklin, would suffer any hardship or even lose their lives in the quest to discover what lies beyond.

Fortunately, Regent Seven Seas Cruises offers a much more comfortable (and safer) way to experience earth's greatest adventures. A way to travel in 5-star luxury to the most remote regions in the world. And a way to experience nature in the most intimate circumstances - without impacting fragile ecosystems or sacrificing personal comfort.

Each stateroom provides you with luxurious comforts including a spacious sitting room where you can dine in privacy, day or night, with the Diamond's 24-hour room service, and each stateroom features a picture-window ocean view, with 70% of the staterooms offering private balconies.
