Regent Seven Seas Cruises has signed an agreement with Fincantieri to construct a fourth vessel in its upcoming Prestige class, scheduled for delivery in 2036

It will follow the debut of Seven Seas Prestige in December 2026, with the second and third Prestige class ships entering service in 2030 and 2033, respectively. All four vessels will be built at Fincantieri shipyards in Italy.

“It is with great excitement that we announce a fourth Prestig class ship, an investment that underscores our commitment to leading the ultra‑luxury cruise market for the decade ahead and beyond,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“When Seven Seas Prestige went on sale in June 2025, we enjoyed the biggest single booking day for the launch of a new ship in our history. We are confident that each ship in this remarkable class will be equally sought‑after, offering guests the most luxurious way to explore the world.”

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 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 vessel’s inaugural season will feature 13 voyages to destinations across the Caribbean and Europe. Its maiden sailing departs 13 December 2026, on a 14-night transatlantic journey from Barcelona to Miami. The season culminates with sailings along the Iberian Peninsula and the coast of France, including overnight stays.
