Alaska cruise comparison , Regent Seven Seas, Oceania, and Celebrity go head-to-head—find out which offers the best value and experience!

Confused about which premium or luxury cruise line gives you the most bang for your buck? In this eye-opening episode of RTE-Travel Talk, Ken is joined by travel expert Christy Fitzharris of Wheels Up Travel to take a deep dive into a real-world pricing and value comparison of Regent Seven Seas, Oceania Cruises, and Celebrity Cruises—all sailing to Alaska in July 2025.

You might think Regent, the luxury option, is always the most expensive—but the results may surprise you. Christy walks us through her expert process in helping clients compare not just the sticker price, but the true cost after inclusions, add-ons, excursions, dining, spa access, and more are factored in. She also reveals an exclusive, unpublished fare for Regent that dramatically changes the equation.

We’ll look at: ✅ What each cruise line includes (and doesn’t) ✅ Crew-to-guest and space ratios ✅ Cost per square foot of cabin ✅ Value of the "ship within a ship" concept on Celebrity Retreat ✅ Differences in onboard vibe and experience ✅ Kid-friendliness and dress code expectations ✅ The hidden perks of working with a travel advisor

If you're debating a luxury or premium cruise, or considering upgrading from mainstream lines like Royal Caribbean or Princess, this episode is your essential guide. Get clarity, avoid decision fatigue, and learn how to make your cruise dollars go farther—whether you're booking solo or with family.
