Seven Seas Splendor: Sanitation Record & Health Report
ShipTea Verdict
Look, we don't hand out gold stars around here just because a ship smells nice — but the Seven Seas Splendor has genuinely earned a slow clap. With a CDC score of 99 out of 100 on its September 2025 inspection, this Regent Seven Seas vessel is sitting comfortably four points above the fleet average, which is the kind of overachiever energy that makes the rest of the industry feel a little self-conscious. And the food safety situation? A perfect 100. Not "pretty good." Not "we missed one thing near the walk-in." A literal, unblemished, nothing-to-write-home-about-except-that-it's-perfect 100, earning the coveted Spotless Galley grade. For a ship this size operating at ultra-luxury price points, the expectation is excellence — and the Splendor is actually delivering on it, which, honestly, is rarer than it should be.
This is a ship for people who have decided that "vacation" means someone brings them chilled towels before they knew they wanted one. The Splendor operates in Regent's all-inclusive premium tier, and the cleanliness record backs up the premium positioning rather than just coasting on the brochure photography. No outbreak history dragging down the vibe, no inspection drama to explain away — just a ship that apparently takes sanitation as seriously as it takes its caviar service. Refreshing, truly.
Who it's for: The traveler who wants to feel smug about both their port itinerary and the galley hygiene simultaneously. If you're paying Regent prices, at least you know the buffet is cleaner than your kitchen at home. Who should skip it: Anyone who finds perfection suspicious — and honestly, fair. The rest of us are booking the suite.
