Regent Seven Seas Prestige has floated out from dry dock, marking a new class of ship in 10 years for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

The new generation, Prestige-class ship will now move to the outfitting pier for its final construction stage where the ship’s elegant lounges, restaurants and lavish suites including the much talked-about Skyview Regent Suite will be fitted.

The float out ceremony took place at Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, Italy with the traditional shattering of a champagne bottle on the hull.

Seven Seas Prestige is scheduled to debut in December 2026 as Regent’s seventh ship and the first of three new Prestige-class ultra-luxury ships. The second Prestige ship will launch in 2030 and the third in 2033.

She can accommodate 822 guests with 630 crew members, offering the highest crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry, the luxury line said. The ship’s all-balcony suites will usher in a new era of ultra-luxury accommodation including the largest Skyview Regent Suite, the two-level Skyview Suites with an in-suite elevator and the Grand Loft Suites.

Seven Seas Prestige will have seven specialty restaurants and 11 dining venues. A new restaurant Azure will offer a mezze-style Mediterranean cuisine.

During her inaugural season, Seven Seas Prestige will embark on 13 extraordinary voyages across Europe and the Caribbean including two transatlantic crossings. She will offer 10-15-night itineraries to exceptional destinations including Regent’s private island paradise, Harvest Caye, Belize.
