Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Eco-Connect Tours bring travelers into local communities for conservation and sustainability.
Every journey is as varied as the travelers taking it. To that point, Regent Seven Seas Cruises is celebrated for its flexibility, offering thousands of free Unlimited Shore Excursions that encourage you to explore the places you prefer to go and the ways you prefer to experience them. Regent’s Eco-Connect Tours were created from this idea, customized for travelers who want to not just see, but to do. With these tours, guests interact with local groups and businesses, learning how they’re working to make the world a better place. The impact? A ripple effect of learning, support, and goodwill that permeates both the traveler and the community.
Regent currently offers more than 150 Eco-Connect Tours, focused on learning about everything from sustainable farming practices in France, New Zealand, and Argentina to innovative energy production in Portugal, Iceland, and Japan. Here are three standout tours.
Bordeaux Wines and sustainability
Spend time in the beautiful wine region of Bordeaux, France and visit with the Labrune family who operates Château de La Dauphine, a 350-year-old vineyard with 173 acres of vines. Specializing in biodynamic and organic farming, the Labrunes are dedicated to producing the highest quality of biodynamic wines with the smallest effect on the environment.
A Sloth Paradise: give back to nature
From Puntarenas, Costa Rica, travel to a sloth sanctuary that replicates the animals’ natural habitat, where they’re rehabilitated after being injured, orphaned, or have lost their habitat due to deforestation. Guests are given an up-close look at the fascinating animals (known to the be slowest in the world) and meet with experts to learn about their habits and environment. You can also visit the organic farm that supplies food for the sloths and plant a tree at a nearby reserve to help reverse the effects of deforestation.
Bach Ma National Park ecosystem
Just outside of Hue, Vietnam, Bach Ma National Park is considered one of the wettest regions in Vietnam. Located in the Annamite Mountains and, in some parts, only a few miles from the coast, the park is home to a rich biodiversity with more than 1,700 fauna species and more than 2,000 flora species. Travelers will hike through the park with a local naturalist, learning about the plants and animals. If you’re lucky, you might spot the rare Golden monkey or Indochinese tiger.
Enjoy an experience unlike any other.

Nature, nurture, and culture create deep experiences with Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya and Waldorf Astoria Cancun.
I can speak of personal travel experiences gleaning from many trips the world over, including the Continental USA, Alaska and Hawaii. I have organized groups for corporate and convention travel. Destination weddings, family reunions have become an important place in my portfolio.
Many people today have a “bucket list” which hold a list of dream vacations such as Hawaii, Europe and other far off exotic places. I can help with all of these plans by putting together Independent Flexible Travel itineraries. Hawaii holds particular interest to me as it is there I frequently visit my family and friends.
My loyal clients speak with praise and satisfaction for the memories they cherish on the vacation trips we planned together. It would be my pleasure to offer my services and help with your special vacation planning and events.
