The Seven Seas Prestige™ will be the new flagship of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, scheduled to debut in December 2026, and the first of two ships in the new Prestige class, the second of which is planned to join the fleet in 2029. A ship that combines innovative design, world-class cuisine, and a renewed focus on comfort and space, representing the pinnacle of luxury at sea.
The ship has a gross tonnage of 77,000 and capacity for 822 passengers in its spacious suites, all with private balconies, and very high space/passenger and crew/passenger ratios that guarantee personalized service on a ship that is 40% larger than its predecessors, but with only 10% more capacity.
This new ship introduces innovations compared to the current Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet, including new suite categories on board, new dining options, and advanced environmental technologies in its construction and operation, reflecting the company's commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.
The interior design of the Seven Seas Prestige, created by Studio DADO, is inspired by classical and Renaissance architecture, creating elegant and welcoming spaces such as the Starlight Atrium, a double-height central atrium with a glass roof that filters natural light and twin spiral staircases in bronze and marble, which serves as a meeting and relaxation point; Galileo's Bar, a sophisticated space with panoramic views, ideal for enjoying cocktails at sunset; or lounges such as the Prestige Lounge or the Meridian Lounge, with clean lines, with refined details in pleated leather and blown glass.
The Regent Suites
The ship will feature 12 suite categories, after introducing four new categories, designed to offer maximum comfort and luxury on board:
The Skyview Suites, spread over two levels, offer between 123 and 188 square meters of elegant space with panoramic ocean views. Each suite features a private elevator, a rooftop terrace with a Jacuzzi, lounge areas, and a modern, sophisticated interior design. With spacious double-height living rooms, separate bedrooms, and marble bathrooms, the Skyview Suites provide an exclusive and unforgettable onboard experience.
Grand Loft Suites are very spacious with floor-to-ceiling, double-height windows, providing a sense of openness and connection to the sea; they measure 80 square meters. The lower level is ideal for entertaining guests, while the upper level houses the bedroom, facing the horizon, perfect for relaxing or watching the sunrise.
Horizon Penthouse Suites, ranging from 56 to 67 square meters, include a bedroom, living room, and full bathroom. They also feature oversized balconies of up to 24 square meters and uninterrupted ocean views, ideal for those seeking privacy and luxury. Only 15 of these suites are available, offering an exclusive experience with personalized butler service.

The culinary offerings aboard the Seven Seas Prestige will be another of its strengths. Its specialty restaurants will include options for all tastes, from haute French and Mediterranean cuisine to exquisite Asian and contemporary dishes.
