How much would cruise passengers be willing to spend for a night in the largest suite on a brand-new luxury ship? Regent Seven Seas Cruises is betting that its ultra-wealthy guests would drop $25,000 for a single night in the Skyview Regent Suite.
That price tag affords guests 8,794 square feet of space in a sprawling two-level suite on the Seven Seas Prestige, the ultra-luxury cruise line’s newest and largest vessel as well as the first in its class. The ship is set to sail out of Miami to destinations in the Caribbean and South America beginning in December 2026.
The 77,000-gross-ton Prestige can accommodate 822 guests and 630 crew members, offering what the company touts as one of the “highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry.” With 12 accommodation categories to choose from, a 10-night cruise starts at $6,499 per person for the 440-square-foot Deluxe Veranda Suite and goes up to around $250,000 total for the Skyview Regent Suite, which can fit up to six guests.
The massive suite includes 5,091 square feet of indoor space — with two bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms — and a 3,703-square-foot wraparound balcony. Guests can spread out in the main living area where a formal dining area, ocean-facing bar, spacious living room and full guest suite can be found.
On the second floor, which can be accessed by using a floating natural stone staircase or private in-suite elevator, cruisers enjoy the main suite with a spa-inspired bathroom, a handcrafted Italian bed and a walk-in closet. The second level also features a dedicated massage room and a personal gym.
The entire space benefits from forward-facing ocean views with plenty of natural light from giant windows and a skylight.
“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, in a news release. “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.”
For such a steep price tag, a stay in the Skyview Regent Suite includes a dedicated personal butler, a private car and guide in every port, daily spa treatments, curated linen and pillow menus, in-suite caviar service, unlimited laundry and dry cleaning.
All of the ship’s suites have a balcony, and every passenger benefits from luxurious perks: unlimited shore excursions, included specialty restaurants and unlimited beverages at no added cost, unlimited access to spa facilities, pre-paid gratuities, WiFi and valet laundry service.
Other new and noteworthy accommodations aboard the Prestige include other two-level Skyview Suites (starting at $24,999 per person) with private terrace decks accessed via in-suite elevators, Grand Loft Suites (starting at $17,799 per person) with floor-to-ceiling windows and the Horizon Penthouse Suites (starting at $11,099 per person) with expansive balconies.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is a subsidiary of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings; passengers who wish to cruise at a more cost-effective price tag can explore options from Norwegian Cruise Line or the globe-trotting, elevated Oceania Cruises.
While Regent’s cruises are decidedly not easy on the wallet, they should be much gentler for the mind, body and soul for those who can afford it.
