NCLH confirms order for third Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Prestige Class ship

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings has confirmed an order with Fincantieri to build a third ship in Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ Prestige Class.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery in 2033 and marks the “continued expansion of the company’s growth strategy in the luxury segment”, a spokesperson said.

Following the debut of Seven Seas Prestige in 2026, which will be followed by a second Prestige Class ship in 2030, the ship will “build upon the hallmark design and elevated guest experience that has defined the brand’s legacy in all-inclusive, unrivalled cruising”.

“This new-build order continues our measured, strategic expansion within the luxury space,” said Jason Montague, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ chief luxury officer.

“It reflects our confidence in the growing demand for Regent’s best-in-class offering and reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Fincantieri, one rooted in craftsmanship and shared pursuit of perfection.”

Seven Seas Prestige will be 40% larger than previous Regent ships but will accommodate only 10% more guests, which the line said would deliver “truly unrivalled space at sea”. It will carry 822 guests with 630 crew members.

There will be 12 accommodation categories, including four new suite types, and 11 dining options including Azure – a new mezze-style Mediterranean concept – and mainstays Chartreuse, Prime 7 and Pacific Rim, with one more new venue to be revealed.

Pierroberto Folgiero, Chief Executive and Managing Director of Fincantieri, said: “This latest contract confirms the trust NCLH places in Fincantieri’s expertise to deliver innovative, sustainable, and exquisitely crafted ships that meet the evolving aspirations of the luxury cruise market.”

The Prestige Class is Regent’s first new ship class in 10 years, following the line’s Explorer Class vessels.
