Regent Seven Seas Cruises®, the world’s leading ultra luxury cruise line, has unveiled the name of its new ship, Seven Seas Prestige™, along with stunning new exterior images and video, providing a glimpse into a brand new class of vessel that will once again set a new standard for luxury vacations.
Seven Seas Prestige will boast one of the highest space to passenger ratios in the cruise industry.
Seven Seas Prestige, which will be delivered in 2026, is Regent’s first new ship class in 10 years, following the tremendously successful Explorer-Class vessels which were launched in 2016, 2020 and 2023.
“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 as Seven Seas Prestige and reveal her sleek exterior design,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Seven Seas Prestige, debuting in 2026, continues our legacy of revolutionizing ultra luxury travel as she will transcend luxury in every way. This incredible new ship will be the epitome of timeless elegance, exemplifying Regent’s commitment to excellence which is reflected in every aspect of her elevated design and exuding an ambiance of sophistication and refinement.”
At 77,000 tons and hosting up to only 850 guests, Seven Seas Prestige will boast one of the highest passenger to space ratios in the cruise industry, offering more Unrivaled Space at Sea than ever before in beautifully appointed suites, and lavish, thoughtfully designed restaurants, bars and lounges and public areas.
Seven Seas Prestige will introduce new accommodation and dining experiences.
DeMarco continued, “Unrivaled Space at Sea is a key pillar for Regent and a primary desire for luxury travelers. Seven Seas Prestige was designed with this in mind, maintaining the intimate and luxurious service our guests love, while also providing even more space throughout the ship, allowing for new suite categories and new experiences.”
Seven Seas Prestige will be the first of two Prestige-Class ships, the second of which will be launched in 2029. The new ship class will introduce brand new accommodation categories, including a reimagination of the palatial Regent Suite, plus new dining experiences, all of which will be revealed at a later date.
These new features will further enhance The Most Inclusive Luxury Experience® that Regent is known for with inclusions such as flights and transfers, gourmet cuisine in a range of specialty restaurants and al-fresco dining venues, fine wines and spirits, entertainment, unlimited internet access, free valet laundry, gratuities, one-night, pre-cruise hotel packages for guests staying in Concierge-level suites and higher and more..

The Art of Luxury Showcased in Brand New Designs
For new ship Seven Seas Grandeur, the award-winning Studio DADO – specialists in boutique cruising and hospitality interior design – were engaged by Regent Seven Seas Cruises to reimagine the distinct level of luxury found on board The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet™. Inspired by close to 30 years of unrivaled experiences, the new designs illustrate how the partnership has taken modern luxury cruising to new aesthetic heights, from all-suite, all-balcony accommodations to transformative dining experiences.
“A canvas such as Seven Seas Grandeur is a designer’s dream,” said Yohandel Ruiz, founding partner, Studio DADO. “The level of luxury needed requires us to consider and perfect every single detail that the discerning Regent guest will experience. Not only is the functionality of each individual space of the highest importance, whether it’s indulging in a gourmet meal or reclining on a plush mattress for a restorative sleep following a day of exploring, but the finest of materials must work in perfect harmony too, from textures to color tones. It’s a challenge to relish.”
The Regent Suite
An evolution of luxury, every element of the Regent Suite has been treated as a piece of art, from the highest quality textiles to hand-selected furnishings.

The 4,443 square foot suite, which overlooks the bow of the ship, modernizes the traditional, offering pure luxury in the form of two spacious bedrooms, 2 and a half marble and stone detailed bathrooms, a living room with personalized bar set-up and a dining room.
