Milestone anniversaries in the cruise industry usually come with a press release and a discount code. Regent Seven Seas Cruises is doing something more deliberate. The line announced on July 16, 2026, that it will mark its 35th year in 2027 with a purpose-built collection of anniversary sailings across all six ships in its fleet, timed to coincide with the debut of Seven Seas Prestige, the first vessel in a completely new ship class. The result is a celebration that looks backward at three and a half decades of ultra-luxury innovation while pointing clearly toward what comes next.

 

For travelers considering a luxury cruise in 2027, the combination of anniversary pricing and new-ship access on offer through August 31, 2026, makes this one of the strongest booking opportunities Regent has put forward in recent years.
 

 

35 Years of All-Inclusive Ultra-Luxury: How Regent Got Here

Regent Seven Seas Cruises launched in 1992 with a proposition that was genuinely unusual at the time: a fully all-inclusive cruise product at the ultra-luxury level, where the fare covered not just the cabin and meals but everything else aboard the ship. That philosophy, now widely imitated across the premium and luxury cruise sector, remained the foundation of the brand as it grew through a series of fleet and product milestones over the following three decades.

In 2001, Regent introduced Seven Seas Mariner, the first all-suite, all-balcony cruise ship ever built, a structural concept that has since become standard across luxury cruise lines worldwide. The Explorer Class vessels followed, beginning with Seven Seas Explorer in 2016 and continuing with Seven Seas Splendor in 2020 and Seven Seas Grandeur in 2023. Each new ship raised the standard for suite sizing, public space design, and onboard culinary offerings, while keeping the core all-inclusive model intact.

Now, in 2026, Regent introduces the Prestige Class with the arrival of Seven Seas Prestige, the first new ship class from the line in ten years. Four additional Prestige Class ships are currently on order, with deliveries scheduled across the period through 2036. The anniversary year of 2027 will be the first in which the Prestige Class is fully operational, making it the natural moment to stage a celebration that spans the entire fleet.

 

The 35th Anniversary Collection: What It Includes

The 35th Anniversary Sailings program features 35 specially curated voyages ranging from 7 to 24 nights, operating across all six ships in the Regent fleet. Each anniversary sailing includes dedicated onboard programming built around the milestone, enhanced culinary experiences, commemorative gifts, and what the line describes as exclusive surprises for guests.

The six ships involved are Seven Seas Mariner, Seven Seas Voyager, Seven Seas Explorer, Seven Seas Splendor, Seven Seas Grandeur, and the newly launched Seven Seas Prestige. Destinations span Northern Europe, the Mediterranean, Asia, North America, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand, giving travelers a genuinely global selection of anniversary sailing options.

Highlight Voyages in the Anniversary Collection

Several sailings have been specifically highlighted by Regent as signature pieces of the anniversary program.

Sapphire Sojourn is a 12-night voyage aboard Seven Seas Prestige sailing from Los Angeles to Panama City, making it the most direct way for North American travelers to experience the new ship class without crossing an ocean first. Departing from the U.S. West Coast, it threads southward through the Pacific and into the Panama Canal zone.

Holiday in Panama aboard Seven Seas Splendor travels from Miami to San Francisco with a full Panama Canal transit included, combining two of the most sought-after elements of a western hemisphere cruise in a single sailing.

Harvest Tides is a fall-focused voyage aboard Seven Seas Grandeur that travels northward along the U.S. East Coast toward Canada during the autumn foliage season. The timing and routing are specifically designed to put guests in position to view fall colors from aboard ship and during shore excursions in New England and Atlantic Canada.

Enduring Iberia is an 11-night sailing aboard Seven Seas Mariner described as a Reunion Cruise, departing Lisbon on August 11, 2027, and concluding in Barcelona. The Iberian Peninsula itinerary covers Portugal and Spain in a format that pairs well with the anniversary theme given Regent's European roots and heritage sailings in the region.

Isle Crossroads is a 10-night sailing from Singapore to Bali aboard Seven Seas Mariner departing November 27, 2027, extending into a 24-night Coral Route option that continues from Singapore all the way to Sydney. A separate 14-night Surf and Santa sailing departs Sydney on December 21, 2027, and travels to Auckland, giving Southern Hemisphere travelers a holiday-season anniversary option close to home.

Epicurean Japan is an 11-night round-trip from Tokyo aboard Seven Seas Explorer departing November 9, 2027, bringing Regent's culinary-focused programming to Japan in what is expected to be a popular sailing given ongoing traveler demand for Japanese itineraries.

 

Seven Seas Prestige: The New Ship Class Making Its Anniversary Debut

Seven Seas Prestige is scheduled to enter service in December 2026, which means the 2027 anniversary collection will be the first full program in which the ship operates alongside the rest of the Regent fleet. It is Regent's first entirely new ship class in a decade, and the anniversary timing positions it as the centerpiece of the celebration.

The line has already released imagery and suite renderings for Seven Seas Prestige, including the Concierge Suite and the pool deck, as part of its marketing for the anniversary collection. The ship will carry forward Regent's all-suite, all-balcony model while introducing new culinary concepts, including programming linked to Regent's food-focused product offerings. A cooking and culinary immersion experience specifically designed for Seven Seas Prestige was announced in June 2026 as a signature attraction of the new ship. Seven Seas Voyager also completed a multi-million-dollar renovation in Marseille in May 2026, ensuring that the existing fleet arrives at the anniversary year in refreshed condition.

 

The Anniversary Offer: Up to 35% Off Plus $350 Shipboard Credit

In keeping with the 35th anniversary theme, Regent has structured its promotional offer around the number itself. Guests who book a qualifying anniversary sailing by August 31, 2026, receive up to 35% off the fare on 35 selected departures, plus a complimentary $350 shipboard credit per suite.
