Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd has confirmed a newbuild order with Fincantieri to construct a third vessel in the Prestige-Class series for its ultra-luxury brand, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

Following the debut of the highly anticipated Seven Seas Prestige™ in 2026 and a second Prestige Class ship in 2030, the third vessel will build upon the hallmark design and elevated guest experience that have defined the brand’s legacy in all-inclusive, unrivalled cruising.
Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd, said:
“This newbuild order continues our measured, strategic expansion within the luxury space, providing guests with yet another way to experience the unrivalled aboard The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet.
“It reflects our confidence in the growing demand for Regent’s best-in-class offering and reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Fincantieri, one rooted in craftsmanship and shared pursuit of perfection.”
Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri, said:
“Our long-term strategic expansion with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., established over the past years through multiple successful orders, continues to strengthen our collaboration, especially within the ultra-luxury segment represented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“This latest contract confirms the trust NCLH places in Fincantieri’s expertise to deliver innovative, sustainable, and exquisitely crafted ships that meet the evolving aspirations of the luxury cruise market.”
Regent’s Prestige-Class ships begin a new legacy in ultra-luxury travel, marking Regent’s first new ship class in 10 years, following the tremendous success of the line’s Explorer-Class vessels.
Seven Seas Prestige will be 40 per cent larger than previous Regent ships yet accommodates only 10 per cent more guests, delivering truly Unrivalled Space at Sea.
At 77,000 tonnes and carrying just 822 guests with 630 dedicated crew members, the ship offers one of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry.
Beautifully appointed all-balcony suites usher in a new era of ultra-luxury accommodation with 12 distinctive categories, including four all-new suite types, including the largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ship suite in history: the Skyview Regent Suite, and two-level Skyview and Grand Loft Suites.
Elegant public spaces are thoughtfully designed from the sophisticated, light-filled Starlight Atrium to the art-inspired Galileo’s Bar.
Offering Regent guests the chance to indulge in Epicurean Perfection like never before, Seven Seas Prestige provides a curated culinary journey across 11 dining experiences, with a further brand-new dining venue being revealed at a later date.
These include Azure, a new mezze-style Mediterranean concept, and signature favourites like Chartreuse, Prime 7, and Pacific Rim.
