Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced four tasting and beverage experiences exclusive to Seven Seas Prestige, alongside four regional wine lunches planned across its fleet. The additions expand the line’s food-and-drink programme ahead of the new ship’s December debut.
For travel advisers, the booking conditions are an important distinction: select experiences carry an extra charge, have limited availability and require advance reservations. Regent has not yet released prices or reservation details, which it says will follow closer to launch.
Four experiences for Seven Seas Prestige
The ship-exclusive programme includes The Grand Table Experience, a five-course wine-pairing lunch. Announced combinations include Krug Grande Cuvée with caviar and Vega Sicilia Único with Wagyu A5 striploin.
A separate Champagne tasting, The Prestige Collection: A Portrait of Cuvées, pairs prestige cuvées with canapés. The Grey Goose Altius Martini & Caviar Ritual is designed as a pre-dinner option.
The fourth experience is restricted to guests staying in the Skyview Regent Suite. Its personalised beverage service features Dom Pérignon, The Macallan and Louis XIII, including an ambassador-led Cognac ceremony centred on a three-litre Baccarat decanter.
Regional wine lunches to reach the fleet
Beyond the new ship, Regent plans four five-course Connoisseur Wine Lunches. One follows wines from Champagne, Tuscany, Oregon, Chile and Canada; the others focus on France, Italy and the United States.
The French lunch includes Ruinart and Château Palmer, while the Italian selection spans Franciacorta, Tuscany and Piedmont. The American programme draws on Anderson Valley, Napa Valley and the Russian River Valley. The announcement does not give a ship-by-ship rollout schedule.
Seven Seas Prestige will also offer existing Regent tastings covering Caymus wines, Champagne, Hennessy Cognac, The Macallan and Woodford Reserve.
December launch and booking considerations
According to Regent’s 13 October announcement, Seven Seas Prestige’s maiden voyage is scheduled to leave Miami on 28 December 2026 for an 11-night Caribbean roundtrip.
The programme gives advisers additional experiences to discuss with food-and-wine-focused clients. Until booking details are confirmed, however, they should distinguish the ship-only and suite-only options from the fleetwide lunches, and avoid presenting every tasting as part of the inclusive fare.
