Seven Seas Prestige to introduce 4 exclusive wine and spirits experiences

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced four new wine and spirits experiences for Seven Seas Prestige, alongside four wine-pairing lunches being introduced across its fleet.

The new offerings will debut aboard the 76,550-gross-tonne ship, which is scheduled to enter service in December 2026, and include Champagne and caviar pairings, a five-course wine lunch, and a personalised beverage experience for guests staying in the Skyview Regent Suite.

The programme will also introduce four destination-themed Connoisseur Wine Lunches across the Regent fleet, focusing on wine regions in Europe and the Americas.

“Seven Seas Prestige gives us an extraordinary opportunity to reimagine how our guests experience the world’s finest wines and spirits,” said Wesley D’Silva, President, Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“These new experiences have been designed as memorable occasions, bringing together exceptional labels, culinary artistry, and engaging storytelling. Whether guests are discovering an iconic wine region over lunch or enjoying an exclusive pre-dinner ritual, each experience reflects Regent’s commitment to Epicurean Perfection™ and to creating meaningful moments of discovery at sea.”

The Grand Table Experience will be exclusive to Seven Seas Prestige and form part of Regent’s Connoisseur Wine Lunches programme.

The five-course experience will pair wines and Champagne with dishes including caviar, Maine lobster, Wagyu A5 striploin, and tarte Tatin.

Pairings will include Krug Grande Cuvée with caviar, Louis Jadot Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru with lobster, Vega Sicilia Único with Wagyu, and Château d’Yquem with dessert.

A second new offering, The Prestige Collection: A Portrait of Cuvées, will focus on Champagne, with a series of prestige cuvées served alongside selected canapés.

The menu will include lobster with citrus and elderflower, spicy tuna temari, and beef tataki, with each pairing designed to demonstrate differences in the structure, texture, and character of the Champagnes.

The Grey Goose Altius Martini & Caviar Ritual will introduce a pre-dinner experience combining martini variations with selected caviar.

A fourth offering will be reserved for guests staying in the ship’s Skyview Regent Suite.

The personalised in-suite beverage programme will feature Dom Pérignon, The Macallan, and LOUIS XIII, including an ambassador-led Cognac presentation centred on the three-litre LOUIS XIII Le Jeroboam Baccarat crystal decanter.

Beyond the four ship-exclusive experiences, Regent will introduce four additional Connoisseur Wine Lunches across its fleet.

Each will comprise five courses paired with wines from selected regions, including France, Italy, and North and South America.

The new lunches will join existing Regent tasting programmes, including The Craft of Caymus, The Champagne Experience, Hennessy Cognac Journey, The Macallan Color Journey, and Woodford Reserve Flavor Wheel Tasting, which will also be offered aboard Seven Seas Prestige.

Regent said selected experiences will carry an additional charge, have limited availability, and require advance reservations. Pricing and booking details will be announced closer to launch.

Seven Seas Prestige will be Regent’s first new ship class in a decade, featuring 411 suites, 630 crew members, and 11 dining experiences.

The ship’s maiden voyage will depart Miami on 28 December 2026 for an 11-night Caribbean cruise visiting Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.

Its inaugural season will comprise 12 voyages across the Caribbean and Europe, including itineraries along the Iberian Peninsula and French coast.
