We will be in Boston on the Grandeur in September on the segment from BCN to NYC and would like to bring a relative on board to view the ship and perhaps have lunch. How do I arrange this with Regent.

We were on the Gorah/Shamwari double safari in Dec off of the Voyager and thought it was wonderful. We had a 5am disembarkation for a 6:30 flight to Port Elizabeth. We were allowed a 50# checked bag per person on the flight and Regent transported our emaining luggage to the hotel for storage. There were 8 of us on the tour so the group could all do the game drives together. The transport to Gorah was great in a private vehicle with guide/driver. We had 4 game drives at Gorah and then transferred to Shamwari Long Lee Lodge (the most luxurious of the lodges on property) for the afternoon game drive. We left Shamwari at 5am (with breakfast box) for an early flight back to Capetown. We missed the morning game drive on the last day and I thought they could have booked a later flight for us, especially since we were on our own after we got to the hotel. The lodges were both wonderful and had watering holes next to the lodge to watch wildlife during the day. Food was fabulous and service was great. You can view Shamwari on Netflix (Shamwari Untamed series). We paid $3679 pp through Regent (after our 25% discount for Titanium) plus tips to staff at the lodges. It was promoted as a 6 day excursion but only 4 nights in lodges, the last night in Capetown. I had contacted a local travel agent in Cape Town (rhinoafrica.com) and was quoted $6300 pp for 5 days in Kwandwe Ecce Lodge including flights to Port Elizabeth and transfers to lodge, but no transport to CPT airport. We loved the safari, a highlight of the cruise, and would do it again with Regent.
