Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced a series of immersive culinary experiences aboard its newest luxury ship, Seven Seas Prestige, which will launch in December 2026. The ship will feature 64 culinary arts kitchen classes and 25 epicurean explorer tours during sailings, designed to connect guests with destinations through food.
The onboard culinary arts kitchen will offer two-hour classes starting at $129 per guest, covering techniques from knife skills to recipes like Argentine barbecue steak. Meanwhile, epicurean explorer tours, priced from $159 per guest, will include guided market visits and meals at Michelin-starred restaurants, with some tours returning to the ship for tastings and demonstrations.
For example, in Barcelona, guests can explore La Boqueria and Santa Caterina markets, enjoy a Catalan-themed tapas lunch, and conclude with a cava tasting on board. Kathryn Kelly, executive chef and director of culinary enrichment, said the goal is to help guests explore cuisines and traditions while learning professional techniques in a social environment.
The Seven Seas Prestige, accommodating 822 passengers, offers 56 voyages through 2028, including Caribbean and transatlantic Mediterranean itineraries. Onboard features include 12 suite categories, such as the £20,000-per-night Skyview Regent Suite, butler service, luxury lounges, and a new Mediterranean mezze-style restaurant called Azure.
