49 Westminster Abbey in London, sail on the Markermeer Lake in Amsterdam, and more. With shipbuilder Fincantieri securing a landmark agreement earlier this year to build two further Regent ships in 2026 and 2029, the cruise line is adding to its sophisticated fleet to retain its crown as ‘the World’s Most Luxurious Cruise Line’ in the face of increasing competition, both in the industry and the burgeoning six-star sector. “Exemplifying Regent’s commitment to revolutionising ultra luxury travel, we’ve been delighted to unveil the name of our incredible new ship, Seven Seas Prestige,” says DeMarco. “Following the tremendously successful Explorer-class vessels we launched in 2016, 2020 and 2023, Seven Seas Prestige, debuting in 2026, will be part of our first new ship class in 10 years. It will once again set a new standard for luxury cruising.” Exuding ambience and sophistication, the new Prestige-class ships have been designed to maintain the intimate experience that Regent guests love. Regent will also continue to provide even more space for guests throughout the ships. “Through offering more unrivalled space at sea than ever before, we have been able to introduce new accommodation categories and dining experiences,” says DeMarco. “These new ships represent our commitment to delivering exceptional cruise vacations, allowing us to continue to set the standard for ultra luxury cruising in the fast-growing luxury landscape.” Regent uses high-end fixtures, fittings and furnishings to create luxurious and spacious suites onboard its fleet of cruise ships FEATURED INTERVIEW
