Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced an agreement with Fincantieri to construct a fourth vessel in its groundbreaking Prestige-Class series, scheduled for delivery in 2036. The ship will follow the debut of Seven Seas Prestige in December 2026, with the second and third Prestige-Class vessels entering service in 2030 and 2033, respectively. All four ships will be built at Fincantieri’s shipyards in Italy.
“It is with great excitement that we announce a fourth Prestige‑Class ship—an investment that underscores our commitment to leading the ultra‑luxury cruise market for the decade ahead and beyond,” Jason Montague, chief luxury officer, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said in a statement. “When Seven Seas Prestige went on sale in June 2025, we enjoyed the
Regent’s Prestige-Class ships will begin a new legacy in ultra-luxury travel with Seven Seas Prestige’s maiden voyage, marking Regent’s first new ship class in 10 years.
Seven Seas Prestige will be 40 percent larger than previous Regent ships yet accommodates only 10 percent more guests. At 77,000 tons and carrying just 822 guests with 630 dedicated crew members, the ship offers one of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry.
The all-balcony suites usher in a new era of ultra-luxury accommodation with 12 distinctive categories, including four all-new suite types, including the largest all-inclusive, ultra luxury cruise ship suite in history: the Skyview Regent Suite. Elegant public spaces range from the sophisticated, light-filled Starlight Atrium to the art-inspired Galileo’s Bar.
Seven Seas Prestige provides a curated culinary journey across 11 dining experiences with a further brand-new dining venue being revealed at a later date. These include Azure, a new mezze-style Mediterranean concept, and signature favorites like Chartreuse, Prime 7, and Pacific Rim.
The new features will further elevate the experience, which Regent is renowned for, with inclusions such as unlimited shore excursions in every port of call, gourmet cuisine in a range of specialty and al fresco dining venues, fine wines and spirits, onboard entertainment, Starlink Wi-Fi access, valet laundry service, pre-paid gratuities, and a one-night pre-cruise hotel package for guests in Concierge-level suites and above.
Seven Seas Prestige’s inaugural season will explore iconic destinations across the Caribbean and Europe with 13 immersive voyages. Its maiden sailing departs December 13, 2026, on a festive 14-night transatlantic journey from Barcelona to Miami. From there, guests can discover the sun-soaked charm of the Eastern and Western Caribbean, and the marvels of the Panama Canal, with embarkation ports in Miami, Florida; Los Angeles, California; and New York. The season culminates with sailings along the Iberian Peninsula and the coast of France, including multiple overnight stays. With up to 97 included shore excursions per voyage and calls to boutique ports such as St. Lucia, Cartagena, and Bordeaux, the season offers the perfect blend of vibrant exploration and all-inclusive indulgence.
