When Regent Seven Seas Cruises unveils Seven Seas Prestige in December 2026, it won’t just be launching another ultra-luxury vessel – it will be introducing the largest all-inclusive suite in cruise history. The Skyview Regent Suite, stretching across an almost unimaginable 8,794 square feet over two levels, represents a new pinnacle in maritime hospitality where the boundaries between ship and private estate dissolve entirely.
At USD25,000 per night, this isn’t merely accommodation – it’s a statement. The suite occupies the apex of what Regent calls “the world’s most luxurious fleet,” offering panoramic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the sea like living artwork. Studio DADO, the Italian design firm behind the project, has created something that feels more akin to a contemporary art collector’s penthouse than a traditional cruise suite.
A masterpiece of modern Italian design
Upon entering through the grand foyer, guests encounter sculptural leather wall elements and integrated lighting that leads to the suite’s most dramatic feature: a floating natural stone staircase paired with a private elevator. This isn’t ostentation for its own sake – every detail serves the greater vision of creating what Senior Associate Elias Sol describes as “the essence of modern Italian design.”
The main level centers around a formal dining area flanked by built-in serving credenzas, while a dramatic skylight floods the space with natural light. A sleek ocean-facing bar connects seamlessly to the spacious living room, where handcrafted furnishings and a carefully curated neutral palette create an atmosphere of understated sophistication.
The upper level transforms into a sanctuary entirely dedicated to rest and restoration. Here, a handcrafted bed by renowned Italian bedmaker Flou faces directly toward the sea, ensuring guests wake to uninterrupted ocean views.
The spa-inspired main bathroom rivals the finest hotel suites on land, featuring twin vanities, a hand-carved floating tub, sauna, and an expansive walk-in shower.
Beyond accommodation: a lifestyle at sea
What sets the Skyview Regent Suite apart isn’t just its size – though with 3,703 square feet of wraparound balcony space, it offers more outdoor living than most Manhattan apartments. It’s the comprehensive lifestyle it provides. A private gym outfitted with multifunctional training equipment, stationary bike, and dedicated massage room means guests never need to leave their suite for wellness activities.
The suite’s 25,000-dollar nightly rate includes services that transform a cruise into something approaching a private yacht experience. A dedicated personal butler attends to every detail, while daily Serene Spa treatments provide priority access to the ship’s wellness facilities. In every port, guests receive a private car with driver and guide – no jockeying for position on crowded shore excursions.
The small luxuries matter just as much: unlimited laundry and dry cleaning, personal stationery, a curated pillow and linen menu, welcome bottles of Dom Pérignon and Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac. Daily canapés appear as if by magic, and even shoeshine service ensures every detail of the guest experience receives attention.
Exclusive access to The Study
Perhaps most intriguingly, Skyview Regent Suite guests enjoy exclusive access to The Study, a private dining venue for up to 12 guests located on Deck 11. Nestled between restaurants Chartreuse and Prime 7, this intimate space allows suite guests to host their own dinner parties while at sea – a level of social flexibility rarely found in cruise hospitality.
Seven Seas Prestige: redefining ultra-luxury cruising
The suite serves as the crown jewel of Seven Seas Prestige, a 77,000-ton vessel that accommodates just 822 guests – a space-to-guest ratio that allows for genuinely uncrowded experiences. With a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.31, service levels approach those found at the world’s finest resorts.
The ship’s inaugural season beginning December 2026 showcases 13 carefully curated voyages across the Caribbean and Europe. From Barcelona to Miami via transatlantic crossing, through both the Eastern and Western Caribbean, and including two Panama Canal transits, the itineraries read like a greatest hits collection of aspirational destinations.
Standout voyages include the 15-night Celestial Tropics cruise featuring the ship’s first Panama Canal crossing, and the 14-night Sunlit Iberia sailing with overnight stops in Lisbon, Bordeaux, and London. Each itinerary includes Regent’s signature unlimited shore excursions – as many as 97 on some sailings.
The new standard for luxury at sea
Seven Seas Prestige introduces four entirely new suite categories, including the dramatic two-level Skyview Suites with private terrace decks accessed via in-suite elevators, and contemporary Grand Loft Suites with soaring ceilings. These accommodations complement elegant public spaces like the Starlight Atrium and Galileo’s Bar, plus 11 dining experiences including Azure, a new mezze-style Mediterranean concept.
For travelers seeking the ultimate floating sanctuary, the Skyview Regent Suite represents something unprecedented: a private estate that happens to travel the world’s most beautiful waters. When accommodation becomes destination in itself, the very concept of cruising transforms into something entirely new.
Guest interest registration for Seven Seas Prestige opens June 11, 2025, with reservations available from June 25. Deluxe Veranda Suite fares start from USD6,499 per guest for sailings ranging from 10 to 15 nights.
