There’s a certain magic to setting sail, a blend of freedom and finesse, of horizons yet to be discovered and indulgence already in hand. But every so often, a new chapter opens in the grand saga of ocean travel. And this time, it begins with the name Seven Seas Prestige, the latest jewel in the crown of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, ready to redefine ultra-luxury cruising from 2026.
The first of the new Prestige Class, Seven Seas Prestige doesn’t merely join the world’s most luxurious fleet, she transforms it. Regent has always been synonymous with sophistication, but Prestige is a bold evolution, a ship that reflects the rhythm of the ocean, the legacy of classical elegance, and the comfort of boundless space. Here, we take you aboard, figuratively, for now, to offer a tantalising glimpse of what’s to come.
Prestige by Name, Prestige by Nature
Set to launch in late 2026, Seven Seas Prestige marks Regent’s first new ship class in a decade. Measuring 77,000 tons but carrying only 822 guests, she boasts one of the highest passenger to space ratios at sea. That means more room to relax, more privacy, more places to explore, and always, always, with Heartfelt Hospitality.
This isn’t simply a ship. It’s a floating palace of pleasure and poise, where the smallest details are considered and the grandest experiences are included. From exquisite all-suite accommodations, many with private balconies, to personalised service and Michelin-level dining, Seven Seas Prestige lives up to the cruise line’s promise of The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience.
But what sets Prestige apart isn’t just the square footage. It’s the soul.
The Starlight Atrium
Step into the heart of the ship and behold the Starlight Atrium, an architectural marvel where time seems to stand still. Designed by the lauded Studio DADO, the minds behind Regent’s acclaimed Explorer-Class ships, the space is a homage to classical and Renaissance design, reframed through a modern lens.
Sunlight streams through a magnificent glass-enclosed ceiling by day, while by night, starlight filters down to bathe the atrium in an ethereal glow. Twin spiral staircases stretch from deck 4 up to deck 11, weaving through the ship like elegant tendrils of history and hope.
“The Starlight Atrium is where the grandeur of Renaissance architecture meets modern luxury,” says Yohandel Ruiz, Founding Partner at Studio DADO. “Our goal was to get people to stop in their tracks, awe-struck by its sheer scale and magnificence.”
The colour palette, soft dusty rose, gentle taupe, and creamy ivory evokes calm and continuity. Alcoves with plush sculptural furniture and curated art provide private sanctuaries for ocean-gazing or intimate conversation. Want to sip Champagne at sunrise or simply soak in a view of the sea while cocooned in luxury? This is your spot.
The reception area exudes thoughtful refinement, from pleated leather panels to a centrepiece chandelier crafted from handblown glass and ceramic pearls. It’s like entering a boutique hotel in Venice, if Venice floated and offered unlimited complimentary fine wines and spirits.
Galileo’s Bar
Just beyond the atrium lies the utterly enchanting Galileo’s Bar, a place where evenings begin and memories are toasted. Named in honour of Seven Seas Navigator, a beloved Regent ship soon to retire, the bar is a tribute to discovery, both celestial and culinary.
The bar’s ceiling is a contemporary canvas, a stylised oil painting bordered with ornate fretted metal, giving the sense you’re sipping cocktails beneath the stars. The base of the bar features elegant fluted designs, and the bold, striped flooring adds theatrical flair, drawing the eye and beckoning you closer.
Sip on a perfectly crafted martini, select a top-shelf whisky (all included, of course), and admire the sweeping spiral staircases that spiral like constellations back into the atrium. The walls, textured like limestone, are adorned with sconces resembling fine jewellery, subtle yet sensational.
Galileo’s also serves the Prestige Lounge and the adjacent casino, making it the perfect pivot point between sophisticated socialising and elegant excitement.
New Spaces, New Suites, New Horizons
While the design is dazzling, it’s the lifestyle aboard Seven Seas Prestige that truly sets her apart. Expect brand-new accommodation categories, including a complete reimagination of the palatial Regent Suite, already the gold standard in luxury at sea.
These suites are not just rooms, they are refined residences. Think floor to ceiling ocean views, private spas, handcrafted Italian linens, curated art, and a personal butler who knows your preferences before you even set sail. Oh, and let’s not forget the in-suite grand piano or private car and driver in every port of call (yes, really).
What’s more, even the ‘entry-level’ suites on Prestige will outclass most cruise ships’ top categories, offering walk-in wardrobes, oversized balconies, and marble bathrooms that would make a Mayfair townhouse blush.
Culinary Excellence
Regent Seven Seas is famously secretive when it comes to their culinary unveilings, and Seven Seas Prestige is no exception. But we do know new dining experiences are on the way, promising even more culinary creativity than before.
Past favourites like Compass Rose, Pacific Rim, and Chartreuse are expected to evolve, while new venues will introduce flavours, ingredients, and atmospheres inspired by destinations across the globe.
Whatever form they take, rest assured, all restaurants will be included, with no surcharges or surprises. Whether it’s an eight-course tasting menu or a casual al-fresco lunch, every bite is part of the Regent Seven Seas Exquisite Fine Dining Options.
Unrivalled Inclusions
What’s included aboard Seven Seas Prestige? In a word, everything.
Here’s a snapshot:
- Unlimited shore excursions in every port – from guided vineyard visits in Bordeaux to cooking classes in Bangkok.
- All-suite, ocean-view accommodations – nearly all with private balconies.
- Gourmet cuisine in a wide range of venues – specialty restaurants, poolside grills, room service and more.
- Fine wines and spirits – from rare Scotch to curated cocktails.
- Starlink WiFi – fast enough for streaming and sharing.
- Onboard entertainment, lectures – wellness programmes and more.
- Valet laundry service – so you can pack light and travel smart.
- Pre-paid gratuities – because exceptional service should feel seamless.
- One-night pre-cruise hotel stay – for Concierge-level suites and higher.
For those booking Ultimate All-Inclusive Fares, the experience is elevated even further, with roundtrip flights, private executive car service from home to the airport, and even more luxurious perks along the way.
A Legacy in the Making
“This is a truly historic moment,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Seven Seas Prestige continues our legacy of revolutionising ultra-luxury travel – she will transcend luxury in every way.”
Indeed, Seven Seas Prestige is more than a new ship, she’s a new era. She’s built upon three decades of excellence, marrying artistry with technology, intimacy with grandeur.
Following the overwhelming success of Explorer-Class ships like Seven Seas Splendor and Seven Seas Grandeur, Prestige is poised to take things even further.
And this is just the beginning, her sister ship is already scheduled for delivery in 2029.
