Key Aspects:
Guests interested in an elevated cruise experience will be thrilled that Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the luxury line of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, has ordered a third ship of the already vaunted Prestige Class.
The order has been secured through Fincantieri, the shipyard that has the first of the Prestige-class vessels under construction and an order for the second already confirmed.
The new ship, one of the largest ever built for the luxury line at 77,000 gross tons, is scheduled for delivery in 2033, following Seven Seas Prestige in 2026 and the second in the new class in 2030.
The ultra-luxury ship will be able to welcome 822 guests with the one of the best guest-to-space ratios in the cruise industry, ensuring outstanding experiences onboard and a unique sense of elegance, sophistication, and timelessness.
“This newbuild order continues our measured, strategic expansion within the luxury space, providing guests with yet another way to experience the unrivaled aboard The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.
“It reflects our confidence in the growing demand for Regent’s best-in-class offering and reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Fincantieri, one rooted in craftsmanship and shared pursuit of perfection.”
While no details of the new ship have yet been announced, the entire Prestige class will embody game-changing luxury for discerning cruise travelers.
New public spaces with refreshing decor, updated suite categories, and elegant dining venues are sure to offer outstanding experiences for travelers with the unmatched opulence characteristic of the all-inclusive Regent Seven Seas brand.
Of special interest is the already legendary Skyview Regent Suite aboard the Prestige-class ships. The two-level suite offers 8,794 square feet of living space and a wraparound balcony with an additional 3,700 square feet of outdoor space. For comparison, the average US home is less than 2,000 square feet.
The suite will have a private gym and sauna, two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, an in-suite elevator, skylights, a hand-carved bathtub, and so much more.
Even with an overwhelming price of $25,000 per night (yes, PER NIGHT), the Skyview Regent Suite is already nearly sold out aboard Seven Seas Prestige for her inaugural season. It is sure to be equally popular on the third ship in the class.
