Regent Seven Seas Cruises unveils its largest-ever suite

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed details of its largest-ever suite ahead of the launch of its newest vessel, Seven Seas Prestige, in 2026.

The Skyview Regent Suite will be one of 12 suite categories on board the ship, with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms spread across two levels. The suite will also feature a living room, an in-suite dining area, a glass-enclosed bar and a private gym and sauna. It can accommodate up to six guests, who will also have exclusive access to private dining venue The Study on deck 11.

The suite covers 817 square metres and leads in at £20,000 per night.

Steve Odell, international and consumer sales vice-president for Regent and Oceania Cruises, said the launch of the Skyview Regent Suite follows an increased demand from guests for space and exclusivity.

Speaking to Aspire, he said: “These ships [in the Prestige class] are 40% bigger than those in the Explorer class but take only 10% more guests. The whole accent is on space. It’s primarily about space in private accommodation, but also space in public areas.

“It’s all about bigger suites and bigger balconies – that’s what the customers are wanting.”

Odell also said they expect many guests who tend to stay in the Regent Suites, the line’s current top-category suite, will move towards the Skyview Regent Suite, but attracting new-to-brand clients will be an “important strategy” for the line.

“Where we’ve got to get these kinds of clients from is the top suites of hotels. It’s the people who travel first class – the one percenters. It’s a small group of people that want the best and are prepared to pay for it," he said.

"What we’re competing with is the purchase of luxury items, such as a villa or a yacht. Those people are the ones who are filling up the tops of hotels.”

The line also unveiled details of Prestige’s inaugural season, beginning in December 2026. The ship will operate 13 sailings across the Caribbean and Europe, including two transatlantic crossings. Itineraries range in length from 10 to 15 nights, including stops in destinations such as Belize, Lisbon and Bordeaux.

Seven Seas Prestige will be the first vessel in the line’s new Prestige class, with the second as-yet-unnamed ship expected to enter service in 2029.

When asked about the potential for a third Prestige-class ship, Odell said: “There are two of them at the moment, but there might be more. We are discussing, but we haven’t confirmed.”
