Word on the waves is Regent Seven Seas Cruises is introducing some new additions to its line of the ‘World’s Most Luxurious Fleet’. The ultra-luxurious cruise line has announced a new class of vessels and unveiled the first images of its new ship, Seven Seas Prestige.
Seven Seas Prestige will be the first of two Prestige-Class ships, with the first expected to be delivered in 2026 while the second, which is currently unnamed, will be launched in 2029.
