Regent Seven Seas Cruises has offered a first look at all seven specialty restaurants that will launch aboard Seven Seas Prestige™, including brand new Mediterranean dining venue, Azure.

The exquisite specialty restaurant will introduce a new world of flavour to the unrivalled Regent experience, with an authentically designed space and unique mezze-style dining concept curated to foster connection and community. The shared dish concept will see guests transported by tantalising amuse-bouche, appetisers, main courses and desserts, inspired by the Mediterranean’s varied cultural tapestry, rich history, and vast geography that spans Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Elegantly reimagined by Studio DADO and AD Associates, the unique and revitalised restaurant designs for Seven Seas Prestige draw inspiration from heavenly constellations, the Art Deco sophistication of early 20th-century Europe, Japanese design principles, and the storied history of Chicago’s industrial past.

“Cuisine has always been at the heart of the Regent experience, and with Seven Seas Prestige, we are taking our commitment to Epicurean Perfection to an entirely new level,” said Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“Our talented chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, baristas, waiters, and servers, work tirelessly to craft a culinary journey that is truly Unrivaled at Sea. I’m especially excited to reveal Azure—an innovative and exciting new dining experience that will bring fresh flavours and a bold new concept for Regent guests to enjoy.”

Offering luxury travellers the chance to indulge in Epicurean Perfection like never before, Seven Seas Prestige will feature Azure as one of seven complimentary specialty restaurants and 11 dining experiences in total. An additional brand-new dining venue being revealed later.The ship’s dining experience includes the full collection of beloved restaurants already found across The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet®: Compass Rose, the largest specialty restaurant at sea where guests can customise their meal every night of the voyage; Pacific Rim, a dramatic Pan-Asian dining experience; Prime 7, an intimate and elegant steakhouse; Chartreuse, offering classic French fare with a modern twist; Sette Mari at La Veranda, serving authentic Italian specialties and boasting the most expansive al fresco dining area ever seen on a Regent ship; and La Veranda for guests to enjoy sumptuous breakfasts and lunch buffets.

Specialty restaurant menus will be revealed closer to the ship’s launch date, which is scheduled for December 2026.

Azure

Studio DADO’s design for new restaurant Azure springs from a vibrant mix of sun-soaked Mediterranean influences—Moroccan, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Israeli, and Lebanese flavours that all come together in a celebration of heritage and taste. Capturing the essence of the Mediterranean with a touch of Middle Eastern charm, the design immerses guests in the rich cultural tapestry of the region through a thoughtfully curated palette of colours, textures, and intricate details.

“We wanted to capture a journey to the Levant, with its rich legacy of craftsmanship, ornamentation and the colors of the Mediterranean,” said Yohandel Ruiz, Founding Partner, Studio DADO. “It feels exotic but also comfortable and welcoming at the same time.”

Intricate mosaics in modern arabesque patterns and rustic pottery add authenticity to the design concept. A chandelier, inspired by olives and olive trees, serves as a striking centrepiece, while niches filled with clay pots, dried flower arrangements, and natural elements add a rustic, earthy charm.

Compass Rose

Designed by Studio DADO and inspired by the heavenly constellations that have guided explorers for centuries, Compass Rose embodies the intrepid spirit of exploration and the serenity of the ocean.

Guests are welcomed with mirrored screens that sparkle like stars, refracting light to create a dramatic entrance. A tunnel then opens into the restaurant, where the vastness of the ocean and the reflection of moonlight on water are brought to life through thoughtful design elements.

The combination of hard surfaces, wood, organic carpet patterns, and thoughtful lighting creates an environment that celebrates the romance and elegance of sea travel, while guests create their perfect meal each night.

Prime 7

Designed by AD Associates, Prime 7 draws deep inspiration from Chicago’s storied past — a city once defined by the rhythmic pulse of the Union Stock Yards and the grandeur of its art deco skyline. This bold concept captures the tension and harmony between industrial grit and opulent design, reinventing the traditional steakhouse experience for a modern audience.

“Prime 7 is not just a destination; it’s a dialogue between past and present, steel and velvet, fire and finesse,” said Nicola Preece, Design Director, AD Associates.

A contemporary interpretation rooted in history, where architectural nostalgia meets modern indulgence, Prime 7 is grounded by a colour palette of warm umbers and saturated garnet tones, reminiscent of brownstone warehouses and the glowing embers of the ‘grill’. A centerpiece Arctic Henna marble bar, richly veined and luminous, anchors the room in quiet drama — an ode to both natural materiality and the city’s decorative spirit.

Chartreuse

French restaurant Chartreuse emerges as a contemporary sanctuary for refined hospitality — where heritage and modernity converge. Housed in a space that recalls the Art Deco sophistication of early 20th-century Europe, Chartreuse reimagines the classic turn-of-the century society home as gathering place for today’s tastemakers.

Timeless elegance is showcased within AD Associates’ design as a series of intimate, yet open spaces invite guests to socialise, linger, and celebrate.

“Chartreuse is where a moment is suspended in time. A return to grace. A celebration of design, conversation, and sophisticated savoir-faire,” Preece added.

Bold contrasts in tone and texture are softened by lush furnishings and a palette drawn from surrounding gardens that would grace such society homes. Subtle herbaceous greens — the namesake chartreuse tone — infuse freshness throughout, balanced by the elegance of Calacatta Oro marble and the depth of Black Marquina stone.

Pacific Rim

Pacific Rim draws inspiration from Japanese design principles, emphasising harmony, balance, and nature—a place that feels like a Zen-like oasis.

Guests are greeted by a sculptural archway, a symbol of tranquility and nature, and a reception area that juxtaposes raw and refined elements: a carved boulder paired with a clean, cantilevered wood element adjacent to the organic form of a bonsai tree. “It embodies the paradox of Asian cuisine—the simplicity as well as the complexity,” Ruiz said. “The design brings a serene, Zen-like atmosphere to the high seas, blending intricate detailing with natural elements for a dining experience that is tranquil and refined and a complete sensory delight.”

The interior is rich with wood and intricate details and seating is strategically placed along the window wall to take advantage of the breathtaking views. Custom artwork reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define Pacific Rim.

La Veranda / Sette Mari at La Veranda

La Veranda allows guests to take in stunning ocean views while enjoying elegant breakfast and lunch buffets in the chic indoor dining room or on the shaded, open-air deck, with Seven Seas Prestige’s space boasting the most expansive al fresco dining area ever seen on a Regent ship.

Each night La Veranda transforms into Sette Mari at La Veranda, serving guests a delicious a la carte dinner menu of authentic Italian specialties and fine wines.
