See the absolute icons of England – including a theatrical performance in the West End – and become immersed in local foods and wines through tastings, afternoon tea and an interactive dining experience.

Note: This program is limited to 12 guests.

DAY 1

Fly into London Heathrow or London Gatwick Airport. Here you will be met and transferred by private vehicle to your hotel. Although every effort will be made to have your room available prior to the 3:00pm check in, this cannot be guaranteed. Luggage storage will be available should you wish to drop your luggage and start exploring the city.

The remainder of the day and meals are on your own.

Note:

Once you have gone through Customs and Immigration you will collect your luggage at the carousel, walk through the “nothing to declare” channel and then exit into the arrivals hall where your driver will be waiting with a sign with the Regent Seven Seas logo.

Single guests will transfer in a sedan and couples in a van. Sedans hold 2 pieces of luggage, plus 2 carry-on bags. Vans hold 4 pieces of luggage plus, 2 or 3 carry-on bags. If you have more luggage than is permissible, a larger vehicle may be required for additional cost. Please advise your booking agent at least 21 days before sailing if a larger vehicle is required.

DAY 2

London is a city that inspires and amazes! A capital that basks is in its rich history and where around every corner there is something new, yet something very familiar. Today you will have a tour of this majestic city, fully guided by a London expert.

Begin with a visit to Borough Market. This isn’t just the most exciting locale on the British food scene—it’s also the beating heart of Southwark, a gastronomic hotspot in its own right for more than a millennium. Your visit here will show you just how fascinating and diverse British food can be as you meet the proud locals making it all happen. You’ll follow the most delicious route possible through a corner of the city that’s always had food at its heart.

The tour continues with an opportunity to take in some of London’s most iconic landmarks. Peer along Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister, circle around Trafalgar Square, see vibrant Piccadilly Circus and then take a short walk for a photo stop outside Buckingham Palace.

The tour ends with a quintessentially British Afternoon Tea. Afternoon Tea was introduced to Britain in the early 1840s and has been enjoyed by many ever since. Whilst the concept is simple, when expertly executed the memories are remembered longer than the food itself. Enjoy a fine selection of sandwiches and sweet treats accompanied by a range of traditional teas before ending the tour back at the hotel.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Studded with lush countryside greenery, rolling hills, beautiful towns, exquisite vineyards and delicious food, Kent is the oldest county in England and known, quite rightly, as The Garden of England.

After breakfast, meet your guide and enjoy a drive into the heart of the region, through fields of market produce, tomatoes, onions, orchards of apples and the ever-present hop fields. Pause in the delightful village of Chilham, with its timber framed cottages huddled below the stately Manor House at the head of the old square.

Visit the church and see the ancient Yew tree which took root way back in 690AD.

Pause for lunch in a traditional Kent pub before continuing to an award winning vineyard. Learn the processes and methods to transform fruit into great wines along with a guided tasting tour, all while taking in the stunning views. Here the visit ends and you will begin the journey back to London.

Back in London the remainder of the day is at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 4

After breakfast, enjoy a leisurely morning followed by a visit to the world famous West End. Home to 40 theatres all showcasing the most talented actors, actresses, directors, and designers in the world. The oldest, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, was founded in 1663, however, most of the buildings are from the Victorian era and have been carefully refurbished to keep them in use.

From Les Misérables to Kinky Boots, Disney’s The Lion King to Wicked, London’s West End has some of the biggest and most diverse professional shows in history. Along with New York City's Broadway theatre, West End theatre represents the highest level of commercial theatre in the world. Memorable music, heartfelt plots, relatable characters and sensational performances – all add up to an incredible, unmissable experience.

Today you will enjoy a wonderful matinee performance in London’s West End (exact show to be advised within 21 days of sailing) and then embark on an incredible culinary adventure. Seats will be located in the Stalls (ground floor).

Chef’s Tables are an immersive and captivating experience. This exclusive, private event offers a dynamic and interactive dining experience, in which a series of dishes are cooked in front of you and explained at every stage. A multi-course tasting menu is created using cutting edge techniques, the imagination of fantastic chefs and use the finest ingredients, all of which come together to create the ultimate dining experience for our group. With your taste buds satisfied, the evening ends and you will return to your hotel. (Note: beverages are not included with the meal – guests may purchase their preference).

DAY 5

After breakfast and check out, meet your guide and begin your journey to the ship via one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe ‘Stonehenge’. Entry to the site is included but the tour is self-guided.

You will be accompanied from the hotel by a professional tour guide, who will enlighten and entertain you with the history of the local area as you travel.

Please meet in the lobby 15-minutes prior to departure, having settled any incidentals.
