An opulent new era of cruising begins with grand design, sweeping ocean views, and jewel-like interiors. Luxury takes center stage once again as Regent Seven Seas Cruises unveils the first glimpse inside its newest vessel, the Seven Seas Prestige, set to debut in 2026. The reveal includes stunning renderings of several public spaces—including the magnificent Starlight Atrium, Galileo’s Bar, the inviting Prestige Lounge, the elegant Reception Area, and the sumptuous Opulent Lounge—offering guests a preview of the style and splendor awaiting on board.

A Floating Palace of Design

Designed by the acclaimed Studio DADO, the interiors of Seven Seas Prestige reflect a seamless blend of artistic heritage and modern luxury. The Starlight Atrium, a two-deck-high masterpiece at the heart of the ship, was envisioned as a space where “the grandeur of Renaissance architecture meets modern luxury,” said Yohandel Ruiz, Founding Partner at Studio DADO.

From the moment guests enter, the space is designed to dazzle. Regal twin spiral staircases sweep upward beneath a soaring, glass-enclosed ceiling that fills the area with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows offer uninterrupted ocean views—perfect for dramatic sunrises or golden-hour cocktails.

Regent describes the atrium’s aesthetic as “a tribute to quality craftsmanship,” featuring rich textures like pleated leather panels, intricate embellished trims, and a serene color palette of soft creams, brushed taupes, and royal blues. The goal, Ruiz notes, was “to get people to stop in their tracks, awe-struck by its sheer scale and magnificence.”

Jewel-Inspired Details in Every Corner

Attention to detail is woven throughout the interiors. Light fixtures sparkle like fine jewelry, while handblown glass elements and ceramic pearl accents create an atmosphere of refined artistry. These carefully chosen materials lend each space a curated, couture-like quality—elevating the onboard experience to something truly special.

A Toast to Legacy: Galileo’s Bar

Just off the atrium, Galileo’s Bar offers a stylish retreat that pays homage to the beloved Galileo’s Lounge aboard the Seven Seas Navigator—a ship set to retire from the Regent fleet in 2026. This chic new space carries forward the legacy with an entirely modern flair. Guests can expect an atmosphere of quiet glamour, with limestone-clad walls, a boldly striped floor, and a ceiling adorned with a large-scale contemporary artwork reminiscent of an oil painting. It's a natural gathering spot for sipping Champagne, enjoying pre-dinner cocktails, or simply soaking in the ship’s refined ambiance.

Prestige Lounge: Sophistication in Every Detail

The Prestige Lounge, another newly revealed space, offers a refined retreat for guests seeking a quieter, more intimate atmosphere. Furnished with plush seating and curated art pieces, it’s designed for conversation, reading, or enjoying a peaceful coffee or nightcap. The layout balances privacy with elegance, making it a favorite hideaway for those who appreciate understated luxury.

A Warm Welcome: Reception Area and Opulent Lounge

From the moment guests step aboard, they’ll be welcomed in style at the Reception Area, a gleaming space that sets the tone for the voyage ahead. Designed to feel more like a grand hotel lobby than a traditional check-in desk, the reception features custom furnishings, warm lighting, and carefully chosen textures that speak to Regent’s commitment to comfort and class.

Nearby, the Opulent Lounge lives up to its name. This glamorous gathering space invites guests to relax with live music, sip handcrafted drinks, or simply take in the lavish surroundings. With its rich fabrics, intimate lighting, and cosmopolitan vibe, it’s both lively and luxurious—perfect for social evenings or serene moments.

The Prestige-Class Era Begins

Seven Seas Prestige will accommodate just 850 guests, offering one of the highest space-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry. The ship’s debut will mark the beginning of the new Prestige-Class, Regent’s first ship class in a decade. A second ship in the series is already planned for 2029.

In addition to its lavish interiors, the ship promises reimagined suites, expansive outdoor decks, world-class dining, and of course, Regent’s all-inclusive luxury offerings—from gourmet cuisine and fine wines to curated excursions and pre-cruise hotel stays.
