Seven Seas Prestige

Seven Seas Prestige does not yet exist in the sense that matters to a passenger. As of August 2026 she is a hull in the water at Fincantieri’s Marghera yard outside Venice, fitting out, with delivery announced for late in the year and a full first season already on sale. Everything below is what Regent has announced and what the yard has done. Nobody has sailed on her, and this page will not pretend otherwise.

What has actually happened

Fincantieri cut her first steel in October 2024 and laid her keel on 27 March 2025. She was floated out at Marghera at the end of 2025, reported variously in the last days of November and at a ceremony in the second week of December. She is the first ship of Regent’s new Prestige class and the line’s first new class in about ten years; three more have been ordered since, the last confirmed in February 2026 for delivery in 2036.

Regent has said she will be delivered in late 2026 and enter service in December. That is a schedule, not a fact. New classes are where yards discover things, and first-of-class deliveries slip more often than repeat hulls do.

The number the ship is built around

She is 76,550 gross tons carrying 822 guests. That is about ninety-three tons of ship per person, the highest figure of any vessel on this site by a wide margin, against roughly seventy-four on Regent’s own Explorer class, sixty on Seven Seas Voyager, and about forty on a large mainstream ship. Put another way, she is around forty percent bigger than the ships Regent has been building while carrying roughly ten percent more people. The announced crew is 630, to 822 guests.

There are 411 suites, so 822 is a genuine double-occupancy number rather than one that swells when the third berths fill.

What is announced aboard

Eleven dining venues, seven of them specialty restaurants, none charging extra. The Solara Pool Deck spans decks twelve and fourteen around a pool of roughly forty-eight by twenty-nine feet with two whirlpools, a Solara Pool Grill built around an artisanal pizzeria, and a Solara Pool Bar; the Pacific Rim pan-Asian room and Azure, a Mediterranean mezze restaurant, sit on the upper level.

Above that is the Solara Sports Deck, the first named sports deck Regent has built: a competition-size padel and pickleball court, an eighteen-hole putting green, digital shuffleboard, mini-bowling, covered ping pong, chess, a digital gaming system that is new to the line, and a yoga area, open around the clock.

The suites are where the class is being sold. New categories include three Skyview suites of 2,024, 1,728 and 1,325 sq ft high on the ship; four Grand Loft Suites of 856 sq ft over two floors with double-height window walls; and fifteen Horizon Penthouse Suites of 600 to 726 sq ft with balconies running to 263 sq ft. At the top sits the Skyview Regent Suite: two levels, nearly 8,800 sq ft, of which 3,703 sq ft is wraparound balcony, with two bedrooms, an in-suite elevator, a private gym and sauna, and exclusive use of The Study, a private dining room seating twelve. Regent has listed it from $25,000 a night, all-inclusive.

Where she is scheduled to sail

Her maiden voyage is announced as a fourteen-night crossing from Barcelona to Miami on 13 December 2026, calling at Málaga, Madeira and Tortola. A Caribbean winter out of Miami follows: ten- and eleven-night runs to Jamaica, Mexico, Belize, Antigua, Guadeloupe and St. Kitts, a fifteen-night Panama Canal voyage in late January 2027, and a twelve-night repositioning up to New York in April. After that she moves to the Mediterranean and Northern Europe.

The schedule on sale runs several seasons out, split roughly evenly between Europe and the Caribbean with a handful of crossings and a Canada and New England season. Miami does the most turnaround work by a distance, then Barcelona, Civitavecchia and Trieste, the last pointing at Adriatic itineraries in her later seasons. Voyages run from a week to twenty-six nights, and the common ones are ten and eleven.

Every Regent fare covers unlimited shore excursions, all of those restaurants, drinks, gratuities and WiFi; airfare is extra unless you buy the Ultimate All-Inclusive fare, which adds roundtrip flights in a class you pick.

Who she suits

People who want the newest ultra-luxury ship afloat and are comfortable buying one sight unseen. On paper she is the most spacious ship on this site per guest, and the design decisions that have been published (a forty percent bigger hull for ten percent more passengers, a sports deck instead of another lounge) are coherent rather than decorative.

The risk is the ordinary risk of a first-of-class booking. Dates move, venues get renamed between the renderings and the ribbon, and the first season is where a new ship’s problems are found. If you want certainty about what you are walking onto, book Seven Seas Splendor or Seven Seas Grandeur and look at Prestige in 2028.

She is also, straightforwardly, among the most expensive things on this site: the top suite is priced at twenty-five thousand dollars a night and the cheapest way aboard is not close to cheap. She does not suit families, Regent runs no children’s program, nor anyone who wants a small ship, since at 76,550 tons she will be the largest Regent has operated.
