New Cruise Ship Suite Is Bigger Than Most Homes and Costs $25,000 a Night
When Regent Seven Seas Cruises revealed it would introduce a new suite category on its new-build Seven Seas Prestige, who could have imagined the accommodation would span a whopping 8,800 square feet and have a per-night rate starting at $25,000?
The ultra-luxury line has unveiled exactly that in a June 11, 2025 announcement detailing the wildly opulent and all-inclusive Skyview Regent Suite, the first of its kind for the brand.
The ship, under construction at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Marghera, Italy, is due to launch in December 2026. She recently celebrated her keel-laying ceremony, a maritime tradition and construction milestone.
In tandem with the big reveal about the top suite, the cruise line also confirmed that Seven Seas Prestige will split her inaugural season between the Caribbean and Europe, offering two transatlantic crossings. Bookings for all voyages open on June 25, 2025.
Among destinations that will be featured during the 822-guest ship’s maiden season are Belize, the British Virgin Islands, England, Portugal, and France, in addition to two transits of the Panama Canal.
The Skyview Regent Suite, one of a dozen suite categories the ship will offer, is being designed as a two-level living space with a total of 8,794-square-feet. A wraparound balcony will offer 3,700 square feet of outdoor space.
The new accommodation will have two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, a spacious living room, and a stone stairway to the second level. But guests won’t have to ascend the stairs if they don’t want to — there will be an in-suite elevator.
Along with a private gym and sauna, an in-suite dining area will feature a glass-enclosed bar. The suite will have access to a venue called The Study, which is a private dining room accommodating up to 12 guests and situated between two of the ship’s restaurants, Prime 7 and Chartreuse.
Seven Seas Prestige is the first of two ships that will comprise the line’s new Prestige class.
“At Regent, we are committed to setting new standards in ultra-luxury travel, and the Skyview Regent Suite is a true embodiment of that promise,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“At nearly 9,000 square feet, this breathtaking two-level suite delivers the most exclusive and elevated experience at sea, complete with every imaginable luxury included in the voyage fare,” Montague added.
Miami-based Studio DADO created the Skyview Regent Suite design, which is described as having clean architectural lines and a neutral color palette. Skylights will ensure plenty of natural light, and the suite’s bar area offers ocean views.
The suite’s upper level hosts the main suite, including a bedroom, sitting area, and bathroom with a hand-carved tub, walk-in shower, and sauna. The private gym will have training equipment and a dedicated massage room.
Adding to the ultra-luxe experience, guests booking the new suite will enjoy the services of a private car and driver in every port call.
Luxury Ship’s Maiden Voyage Is a 2026 Holiday Cruise
The 77,000-gross ton Seven Seas Prestige is scheduled to sail her maiden voyage on December 13, 2026, a 14-night transatlantic crossing from Barcelona to PortMiami.

The cruise includes the Christmas holiday, and guests can look forward to port calls at Málaga, Spain; Madeira, Portugal; and Tortola, British Virgin Islands before arriving in Florida.
Once homeported for the winter season in Miami, the ship will sail 10- to 12-night voyages across the Caribbean, including two transits of the Panama Canal.
In April 2027, the ship will sail a 14-night “Emerald East Coast” voyage from Miami to New York, and then operate an eastbound transatlantic crossing — a 14-night “Gilded Crossing” — to Barcelona in advance of summer itineraries in Europe.
