Regent Unveils 2027–2028 Voyages With New Ship, Ports, and Overnight Stays

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has unveiled an expansive 2027–2028 Voyage Collection featuring 234 global sailings across all seven continents, the introduction of 19 new ports, and three new Immersive Overnight itineraries offering overnight stays in every port of call. The program also marks the first full year of service for the forthcoming Seven Seas Prestige, setting the stage for what company executives describe as a transformative era in ultra-luxury cruising.

Ambitious 2027–2028 Voyage Collection Unveiled

Scheduled to open for reservations on July 23, 2025, the new season spans Africa and Arabia, Alaska, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the Caribbean and Panama Canal, South America, the South Pacific, Canada and New England, the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, and ten transoceanic crossings. It includes five Grand Voyages, the 133-night 2028 World Cruise aboard Seven Seas Splendor, and a limited-time reduced deposit of 50 percent for guests in the U.S. and Canada who book by August 6.

Among the highlights are itineraries that range from seven to 32 nights, with 60 overnight stays in iconic cities such as Lisbon, Buenos Aires, and Cartagena. Demand for more immersive engagement has led Regent to develop new evening shore excursions, aiming to let guests experience local dining, nightlife, and cultural attractions after dark.

Focus on Immersive Overnight Itineraries

Central to the new collection are three European sailings labeled “Immersive Overnight” because they schedule an overnight in every port. These itineraries feature expanded cultural programming, unhurried exploration, and back-to-back evening shore tours:

• April 28, 2027: A 10-night Iberia and France voyage with overnights in Lisbon, Santander, Bordeaux, and Bilbao, plus two sea days.
• July 19, 2027: A 10-night Mediterranean sailing with overnights in Fusina (Venice), Dubrovnik, and Barcelona, including an extended call in Livorno for Tuscan excursions.
• October 31, 2027: A 10-night itinerary from Civitavecchia with overnights in Dubrovnik, Piraeus (Athens), and Istanbul.

These port-intensive voyages reflect the line’s emphasis on in-depth cultural immersion, complemented by Regents hallmark amenities such as all-suite accommodations, unlimited shore excursions, fine dining, and premium beverages.

Seven Seas Prestige Introduced

Seven Seas Prestige, slated to launch in December 2026, represents Regents first new class of ship in a decade. Built by Fincantieri at 77,000 gross tons yet accommodating only 822 guests, Prestige will sport more spacious suites, all-balcony accommodations, and 12 suite categories, including the new two-level Skyview Suites and the ultra-luxurious Skyview Regent Suite, priced at up to $25,000 per night. This suite sold out on nearly half of its inaugural voyages, signaling strong interest in the next generation of Regent’s ultra-luxury offerings.

During its inaugural full season in 2027–2028, Seven Seas Prestige will operate 44 cruises in Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Caribbean from marquee ports such as Barcelona, Southampton, Civitavecchia, Piraeus, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, and Panama City.

Record-Breaking Demand and Booking Policies

Regent reported its biggest single booking day on June 25, 2025, when reservations initially opened for Seven Seas Prestige, exceeding all previous records by 26 percent. “The results were phenomenal but not surprising,” said Jason Montague, Regent’s Chief Luxury Officer, noting the ship’s potential to redefine the ultra-luxury cruise sector.

Looking ahead, the full 2027–2028 Voyage Collection begins booking on July 23, 2025. U.S. and Canadian travelers who reserve by August 6 will benefit from a 50 percent reduced deposit. Pre-registration is available now via the cruise line’s website.

Stakeholder Perspectives and Economic Impact

According to Regent Seven Seas Cruises, high-spending passengers are expected to deliver notable economic benefits to the ports and destinations included in the new itineraries. Local communities often see boosts in tourism spending, while maritime authorities and cruise lines continue to explore sustainable tourism practices to balance increased visitation with responsible environmental stewardship.

“This Voyage Collection celebrates discovery, with 234 new adventures designed for immersive and meaningful travel experiences,” said Montague. “Each sailing balances enriching destination experiences with onboard luxury, including spacious all-suite accommodations, personalized service, unlimited shore excursions, gourmet dining, and fine wines and spirits.”

As departure dates approach, Regent Seven Seas aims to meet rising demand for extended cultural immersion by pairing exclusive onboard offerings with deeper, more authentic encounters ashore.
