Seven Seas Prestige to debut 6 productions and new entertainment programme

Regent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed six original productions and an expanded live music programme for Seven Seas Prestige, ahead of the ship’s debut on 28 December 2026.

The entertainment programme will include four theatrical productions in the Constellation Theater, alongside performances in the Starlight Atrium and Meridian Lounge.

The ship will also introduce Regent’s first onboard DJ, jazz duo, and string duo, while two new entertainment concepts, The Broadway Experience and Luminaries at Sea, will expand the cruise line’s musical theatre and enrichment offerings.

“With Seven Seas Prestige, every detail was designed around how our guests want to travel, and entertainment is no exception,” said Wesley D’Silva, President, Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Our guests are curious and well-traveled, and they expect evenings with real substance, delivered with the polish that defines Regent.”

The six original productions have been developed by the Prestige Production Company under the executive production leadership of Bryan White, Vice President, Entertainment Production, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Kai Alan Carrier, Director, Entertainment Creative Development, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

The productions will incorporate 781 costumes and bespoke accessories, with the costume programme overseen by Nicholas Bursoni, Senior Manager of Theatrical Costuming, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

Four productions will be staged in the Constellation Theater, including Viva Vedette, a revue inspired by historic showgirl productions at venues such as the Copacabana and Folies Bergère.

The show is directed by two-time Tony Award nominee Kevin Duda, with choreography by Emmy Award winner Karla Puno Garcia.

Riviera Luxe will combine contemporary music and retro songs with dance and fashion-inspired staging. It is directed by Kevin Black and choreographed by Dancing with the Stars professional Britt Stewart.

Rewind will feature music from the 1980s, while Allegro will combine opera and Broadway songs with contemporary pop arrangements.

Two further productions will take place outside the main theatre.

Golden Hour and Golden Night will form a two-part entertainment experience in the Starlight Atrium, beginning with pre-dinner music and continuing with an evening dance event.

Tipples & Tales: A Zacapa Rum Voyage will be presented in the Meridian Lounge, combining a rum tasting with maritime storytelling, live music, and theatrical performances.

“These six original productions were created to bring a new level of artistry and variety to the Regent stage,” said Bryan White, Vice President, Entertainment Production, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings.

The ship’s live music programme will extend across the Prestige Lounge, Meridian Lounge, and Observation Lounge, introducing a DJ, jazz duo, and string duo alongside returning formats including a cocktail pianist and contemporary duo.

From 20 January 2027, Seven Seas Prestige will also introduce The Broadway Experience, featuring performers from Broadway and the West End accompanied by a live orchestra.

Announced performers include Kerry Ellis, Charl Brown, and Keri René Fuller.

The concept will subsequently be introduced aboard selected other Regent ships during 2027.

A separate enrichment programme, Luminaries at Sea, will feature talks and discussions with writers, performers, explorers, and other speakers.

The programme will operate across the fleet, with announced participants including singer Melissa Manchester and author and forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs. Speakers specifically scheduled for Seven Seas Prestige have yet to be confirmed.

The 76,550-gross-tonne ship will be Regent’s first new class of vessel in a decade, featuring 409 suites and accommodation for 630 crew members.

Its maiden voyage will depart Miami on 28 December 2026 for an 11-night Caribbean itinerary visiting Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, Jamaica, and the Cayman Islands.
