Luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced the name of its upcoming ship: Seven Seas Prestige. The vessel will be the first in the Prestige Class and the line’s first new ship series in 10 years. Seven Seas Prestige will launch in 2026 and will be followed by a sister ship in 2029.
“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’ and reveal her sleek exterior design,” said Andrea DeMarco, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Seven Seas Prestige continues our legacy of revolutionizing ultra luxury travel, as she will transcend luxury in every way.”
The Prestige Class ships follow Regent’s Explorer-Class vessels, which debuted in 2016, 2020 and 2023.

Initial Details
Details about Seven Seas Prestige are minimal so far, but we do know that the vessel will measure in at 77,000 tons and carry 850 guests, giving it one of the highest passenger-to-space ratios of any cruise ship.
"Unrivaled space at sea is a key pillar for Regent, and a primary desire for luxury travelers,” DeMarco said. “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.”
Public spaces onboard will include multiple restaurants, bars and lounges, and specific dining experiences will be revealed soon. As for private accommodations, Seven Seas Prestige will introduce new category choices, as well as a grand reimagined Regent Suite.
Onboard Inclusions to Expect
Regent bundles more inclusions together than other luxury cruise lines, and Seven Seas Prestige will carry on that tradition Flights and transfers, all dining, fine wines and spirits will be included in rates, as will onboard entertainment, unlimited internet connectivity, valet, laundry, gratuities and pre-cruise hotel extensions (for guests in Concierge-level accommodations and above).
Dining Onboard Prestige
Favorite restaurants will be repeated on Prestige, which will tout a total of seven specialty venues and 11 dining experiences. Main restaurant Compass Rose will be reprised in a redesigned setting, as will be La Veranda buffet and Sette Mari at La Veranda for Italian cuisine. Prime 7 steakhouse, Chartreuse for French and Pacific Rim for pan-Asian will also be reprised.
Entirely new will be Azure, specializing in Mediterranean flavors spanning Moroccan, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Israeli and Lebanese dishes. Architecturally, the venue will mirror a Middle Eastern aesthetic with beautiful mosaics, clay pottery and dried flowers, as designed by Studio DADO.
“We wanted to capture a journey to the Levant, with its rich legacy of craftsmanship, ornamentation and the colors of the Mediterranean,” said Yohandel Ruiz, founding partner for Studio DADO. “It feels exotic but also comfortable and welcoming.”
Starlight Atrium and Galileo’s Bar
The first details and interior renderings to emerge for Prestige are of the stellar Starlight Atrium and Galileo’s Bar, both designed by acclaimed Studio Dado.

“The Starlight Atrium is where the grandeur of Renaissance architecture meets modern luxury, creating a space that feels both timeless and contemporary,” said Yohandel Ruiz, founding partner of Studio Dado. “Our goal was to get people to stop in their tracks, awe-struck by its sheer scale and magnificence."
Besides its beautiful form, the atrium will function as the location for the concierge and reception desks, as well as a central axis to the casino, the Prestige Lounge, the Meridian Lounge, Coffee Connection and Galileo’s Bar, named in a nod to soon-departing Seven Seas Navigator. The elegant, complimentary watering hole will serve the Prestige Lounge and the casino with a contemporary, oil-painting-style ceiling; limestone-textured walls; fluted fixtures; jewelry-like sconces; and a dramatic striped floor, all stretching to the atrium’s sinuous staircases.
