The first ship in Regent 's new Seven Seas series will be called Seven Seas Prestige and will be launched in 2026.
In addition, a second ship will follow in 2029, weighing 77,000 tons and with a capacity for 850 passengers.
The ship will be built by the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy. Following the Explorer Class, this new ship design is the first from Regent Seven Seas in over ten years.
“This is a truly historic moment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises as we name the next ship to join the world’s most luxurious fleet the Seven Seas Prestige and unveil its elegant exterior design,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“The Seven Seas Prestige, debuting in 2026, continues our legacy of revolutionizing ultra-luxury travel, transcending luxury in every way. This incredible new ship will be the epitome of timeless elegance, exemplifying Regent's commitment to excellence, reflected in every aspect of its elevated design and exuding an atmosphere of sophistication and refinement“.
According to Regent, the Seven Seas Prestige will offer one of the highest passenger-to-space ratios in the cruise industry, with "beautifully decorated suites" as well as "carefully designed public areas.".
The new class of ship will also introduce new accommodation categories, including a reimagined Regent Suite, as well as new dining experiences.
“Unparalleled space at sea is a key pillar for Regent and a primary desire of luxury travelers. The Seven Seas Prestige was designed with this in mind, maintaining the intimate and luxurious service our guests love, while providing even more space throughout the ship, allowing for new suite categories and new experiences,” added DeMarco.
Regent Seven Seas last introduced a new class of ship in 2013 with the Explorer Class. The series includes the Seven Seas Explorer, built in 2016, the Seven Seas Splendor, built in 2020, and the Seven Seas Grandeur, built in 2023.
The brand, owned by Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, also operates the Seven Seas Navigator, built in 1999, the Seven Seas Mariner, built in 2001, and the Seven Seas Voyager, built in 2003.
