Seven Seas Voyager returns from major fleet-wide luxury refurbishment

Seven Seas Voyager has returned to service following a 25-day dry dock in Marseille, completing the latest phase of Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ fleet-wide Pursuit of Perfection refurbishment programme.

The multi-million-dollar project saw extensive upgrades to suites, public spaces, dining venues, and onboard experiences, bringing elements of Regent’s newer Explorer-class ships to one of the oldest vessels in its fleet.

The refurbishment follows a similar upgrade completed aboard Seven Seas Mariner in late 2025 as part of the cruise line’s strategy to create a more consistent onboard experience across the fleet ahead of the arrival of future Prestige-class vessels.

“The transformation of Seven Seas Voyager marks another exciting milestone for Regent, as we further elevate the standard of all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruising across the fleet,” said Wesley D’Silva, President, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“From enhanced dining venues and immersive new culinary experiences to beautifully redesigned suites, every element of the refurbishment has been carefully considered to enrich the guest experience while preserving the warmth and elegance our guests know and love about Seven Seas Voyager,” he added.

Among the most significant changes are upgrades to all suites, including new furnishings, carpets, lighting, hardware and décor.

The ship’s top accommodation categories, including the Signature, Grand, Voyager and Seven Seas Suites, have undergone complete redesigns featuring new bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs.

Public areas including the Atrium, Prime 7 steakhouse, Chartreuse restaurant, and the library have also been refreshed, while Coffee Connection has been relocated to a new mid-ship position on Deck 5.

New Voyager Grand Suite

The Pool Grill has been fully renovated and now includes a new pizzeria concept, mirroring enhancements introduced elsewhere in the fleet as Regent seeks to standardise popular dining venues across its ships.

A key addition is the introduction of the Epicurean Enrichment Studio, an interactive culinary experience designed to connect guests with destinations through food, culture and storytelling. The venue debuted aboard Seven Seas Mariner following its refurbishment and will be available on Seven Seas Voyager voyages from June 28th.

The refurbishment programme was first announced in 2025 as part of Regent’s broader fleet optimisation strategy. At the time, the company said the upgrades would incorporate design elements from its Explorer-class vessels while modernising the two oldest ships in the fleet.

Following the refit, Seven Seas Voyager resumed service on May 21st and is currently operating a 12-night Eastern Mediterranean itinerary from Barcelona to Athens, with calls in Croatia, Montenegro and the Greek Isles.

The vessel will spend the summer season sailing in the Mediterranean before repositioning to Northern Europe, where it will operate itineraries to the British Isles, Iceland and Scandinavia.

The project forms part of a wider period of fleet renewal at Regent Seven Seas Cruises, which has included ship refurbishments, the planned retirement of Seven Seas Navigator and the development of the new Prestige-class vessels.
