Regent Seven Seas Cruises has spent the last three weeks revealing the final pieces of Seven Seas Prestige, the first ship of its new Prestige class and its first new design since Seven Seas Explorer arrived in 2016. On 2 September it unveiled the largest spa in its history. On 15 September it added Solmar Terrace, an open-air lunch venue built around sushi, tapas and yakitori. The ship sails her maiden voyage from Barcelona on 13 December 2026.
The headline number is not the spa, though. It is the ratio. Regent says Seven Seas Prestige is 40 percent larger than its previous ships but carries only about 10 percent more guests. That extra volume has gone into the thing Regent has always sold: space. At the very top of the ship sits the Skyview Regent Suite, at nearly 9,000 square feet with its own private elevator and gym.

A Spa Built for Longer Voyages
Serene Spa & Wellness covers 6,006 square feet on Deck 4, the largest spa Regent has put on a ship. It has ten treatment rooms, among them an acupuncture room, a medi-spa room and a couples’ suite. The thermal suite is complimentary. It includes the line’s first salt room, saunas, steam rooms, a hydrotherapy pool, a snow room, an aroma room and heated loungers. ELEMIS supplies the treatments and Technogym the fitness equipment. The medi-spa menu reaches as far as Thermage FLX, truSculpt and a Niagen NAD+ IV drip.
“Largest ever” here means largest in Regent’s own fleet, not largest at sea. But a free thermal suite matters on a line whose guests routinely book two- and three-week voyages. It is the part of a spa you use every sea day, not just once for a treatment.
Solmar Terrace and the Dining Line-Up
Solmar Terrace, on Deck 5, is an open-air venue serving from midday to 6pm. The menu leans towards Asian small plates: sushi, yakitori and tapas designed for a long lunch rather than a formal sitting. Azure, a Mediterranean mezze-style restaurant, is the other new name. Prime 7, Regent’s steakhouse, has been reworked for the ship. The fleet’s familiar venues return around them: Compass Rose, Pacific Rim, Chartreuse, La Veranda and the Pool Grill, plus 24-hour in-suite dining. Every one of them is included in the fare.
The Suites
All 411 suites have balconies, in 12 categories. Beyond the Skyview Regent Suite, the new designs include two-storey Skyview Suites with rooftop terraces, a Grand Loft Suite of 856 square feet and 15 Horizon Penthouse Suites. The Skyview Regent Suite’s private gym comes with two complimentary spa services a day. That is the kind of detail that tells you exactly who the suite is for.
Why It Matters
The ultra-luxury ocean market has split in two. On one side are the 200–450-guest yacht brands: Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and Aman. On the other are the larger all-inclusive lines, which compete on what the fare covers. Regent sits firmly in the second camp, and Seven Seas Prestige doubles down on it. Unlimited shore excursions, speciality restaurants, drinks and gratuities all sit inside a single fare. The new ship adds space rather than guests. If you are comparing it with the yachts, compare the fully loaded price, not the headline one.
Prices and How to Book
Regent’s own site lists the maiden voyage from US$9,399 per person in a Deluxe Veranda Suite. That fare includes up to 38 shore excursions on this sailing, all speciality restaurants, unlimited drinks including fine wines, pre-paid gratuities, unlimited Wi-Fi and 24-hour in-suite dining. Flights are extra. The maiden voyage showed as waitlisted when I checked on 28 September 2026, so treat that fare as a benchmark rather than an availability promise. Later Prestige sailings are on sale through Regent and luxury cruise specialists.
