Regent Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) marked a key milestone in the construction of Seven Seas Prestige as the ship floated from dry dock on November 27, 2025 at the Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy.
The vessel is the first new class for RSSC in a decade and represents the next chapter in the company’s ultra‑luxury cruise offering.
With this stage complete, Seven Seas Prestige has moved to the outfitting pier for final construction. Work will now focus on interiors, including suites such as the Skyview Regent Suite, lounges, and restaurants. The ship is scheduled to debut in December 2026 as RSSC’s seventh vessel and the first of three Prestige‑class ships. A second ship is planned for 2030 and a third for 2033.
At 76,550 tons, Seven Seas Prestige will accommodate 822 guests served by 630 crew members, offering one of the highest crew‑to‑guest ratios in the industry. The ship is 40 per cent larger than previous RSSC vessels but carries only 10 per cent more guests, reinforcing the brand’s emphasis on space.
The inaugural season will feature 13 voyages across Europe and the Caribbean, including two transatlantic crossings. Itineraries will range from 10 to 15 nights, with highlights such as Harvest Caye in Belize, two Panama Canal transits, and overnight stays in London, Lisbon, and Bordeaux.
“Seven Seas Prestige touching water for the first time marks an extraordinary moment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, representing the culmination of years of planning and collaboration with our long-standing partners at Fincantieri,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer for RSSC.
“The overwhelming response to this vessel affirms that discerning travellers recognise something truly exceptional is on the horizon; emphasised by the ship’s launch day which became our biggest single booking day for a new ship in our history. From the unprecedented Skyview Regent Suite to every thoughtfully designed detail, Seven Seas Prestige embodies our dedication to redefining ultra-luxury travel.”
