Regent Seven Seas Cruises plans major refurbishment for Seven Seas Mariner and Voyager

Regent Seven Seas Cruises will send its two oldest vessels, Seven Seas Mariner and the Seven Seas Voyager, into dry dock for a major refit and refurbishment as part of its Pursuit of Perfection programme.

According to the company, the multi-million-dollar refurbishments, set to take place in late 2025 and spring 2026, reflect a commitment to “exceeding guest expectations in every possible way, from culinary innovations to luxurious ship upgrades.”

The planned refurbishments will bring elements from the company’s Explorer-class ships to the Mariner and the Voyager, ensuring a consistent look and feel across the fleet.

Both vessels will receive refreshed suites and upgraded public spaces, including an enhanced Pool Grill, which will feature a new wood-fired pizzeria concept for al fresco dining.

“We are excited to upgrade  Seven Seas Mariner and  Seven Seas Voyager as we continue in our Pursuit of Perfection, elevating the standard of ultra-luxury cruising,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“Following the resounding success of our Explorer-Class ships and in preparation to welcome our Prestige-Class ships, enhancing the Seven Seas Mariner and the Seven Seas Voyager is the natural next step as we move into an exciting new era for the brand,” he added.

The refurbishment for  Seven Seas Mariner will begin when it enters drydock in Marseille on November 3rd, 2025, while Seven Seas Voyager is scheduled to go into drydock on April 26th, 2026.

Following the project, Seven Seas Mariner is set to resume service in late November for a trans-Atlantic crossing to Miami, which will be followed by a series of cruises to the Caribbean, as well as Regent’s 2026 World Cruise, featuring calls in South Africa.

After Seven Seas Voyager’s refit, the vessel is set to embark on a series of cruises in the Mediterranean before repositioning to Northern Europe and the British Isles.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Pursuit of Perfection programme comes amid a years-long fleet revamp and expansion, with the recent introduction of the Prestige class and the announcement that its oldest ship, Seven Seas Navigator, would be retired from the fleet.

Part of Norwegian Cruise Lines Holdings, Regent Seven Seas Cruises has been pursuing a fleet optimisation project since the COVID-19 pandemic, aimed at enhancing fleetwide efficiency and passenger experience.
