| NCLH luxury brands to revamp their fleets

REGENT Seven Seas Cruises (RSSC) has unveiled multi-million-dollar transformation plans for its fleet, with extensive renovations for Seven Seas Mariner and Seven Seas Voyager scheduled for completion by May next year.

The investment will transform the two ships’ suites and public spaces, including their Pool Grill, which will feature a new wood-fired al fresco pizzeria concept.

Refurbishments for Mariner will begin later this year, when she enters a three-week dry dock on 03 Nov.

Voyager will follow with her own month-long refresh, beginning 26 Apr 2026.

Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague, speaking exclusively to CW, said the refurbishments will aim to see the two ships, RSSC’s oldest, brought in line with its new Explorer-class vessels, providing guests a consistently elegant look and feel across the fleet.

Montague added these efforts to enhance the RSSC brand will also extend to its sister line, Oceania Cruises, with the latter brand’s older, Regatta-class ships Regatta and Insignia both heading out on previously announced respective charters to Ignite Travel Group (CW 03 Oct) and Crescent Seas (CW 04 Apr).

The two vessels’ sister ships Nautica and Sirena are also likely to be chartered out in the future, Montague confirmed.

“We’re very excited at how the fleet is shaping up to be a little bit more consistent, where you’re not really having that big difference between the Regatta-class and the Oceania-class,” he said.

“The Regatta-class vessels are not purpose-built for the Oceania brand, and are not purpose-built for luxury: they have 10% inside staterooms and 20% oceanview, so they’re not traditional, true luxury ships.” MS
