Regent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed a new collection of bars, lounges and speciality cocktails for Seven Seas Prestige, its forthcoming luxury cruise ship scheduled to enter service in December 2026.
The new beverage programme will introduce an Italian-inspired cocktail bar, Mediterranean drinks at two dining venues and an exclusive cocktail created specifically for the ship.
The announcement, made on 6th October 2026, comes as Regent prepares to launch its first new class of ship in a decade. Seven Seas Prestige is scheduled to begin its maiden voyage from Miami on 28th December 2026.
The 76,550-gross-tonne vessel will accommodate guests in 411 suites, supported by 630 crew members. Although the ship will be approximately 40% larger than the company’s previous vessels, it will carry only 10% more passengers.
Its expanded public spaces will include several new dining and entertainment facilities, with the latest announcement providing further details about the onboard drinking and social venues.
New Cocktail Bar And Mediterranean Drinks
One of the principal additions aboard Seven Seas Prestige will be Galileo’s Bar, a new venue inspired by Italian aperitivo traditions and the astronomer Galileo Galilei.
The bar will focus on pre-dinner drinks, with a particular emphasis on variations of the Negroni.
Its dedicated Negroni Observatory menu will include several interpretations of the Italian cocktail, alongside drinks inspired by astronomy and the night sky.
Among the new creations is the Comet Negroni, combining Italicus, Beefeater Gin and Noilly Prat Vermouth.
The Astronomer’s Negroni will offer an alternative combination featuring mezcal, Beefeater Gin and Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino.
Other drinks will include the Dark Matter Espresso Martini, prepared with Amaro Montenegro, vodka and espresso, and Jupiter’s Garden, which combines gin, Frangelico and fresh basil.
The Venetian Moon will feature gin, lychee, lemon and basil, while passengers avoiding alcohol will be able to order the Orbit Zero Espresso Martini, made using Lyre’s Dark Cane, Lyre’s Amaretti and espresso.
The introduction of Galileo’s Bar forms part of a wider effort to give individual venues aboard Seven Seas Prestige their own beverage selections.
Wesley D’Silva, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, said:
“Seven Seas Prestige represents an exciting evolution for Regent, and that same innovative vision extends to every aspect of the guest experience, including our bars, lounges, and beverage offerings,”
Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences will feature prominently at Azure, one of the ship’s new restaurants.
The dining venue will serve mezze-style dishes alongside cocktails incorporating herbs, citrus fruits and regional ingredients.
Its drinks menu will include the Monastery Sour, made with Benedictine, brandy, lemon juice and thyme syrup, served over crushed ice with a thyme garnish.
Another option, the Beet and Pear Sour, will combine pear vodka, fresh beetroot juice, lemon juice, thyme syrup and egg white.
The Provence Bloom will feature elderflower liqueur, lavender syrup, lemon juice, peach purée, gin and tonic water.
Passengers seeking a non-alcoholic accompaniment to their meal will also have a selection of flavoured waters infused with cucumber, lemon, orange or pomegranate.
A separate Mediterranean-inspired drinks selection is being introduced at Solmar Terrace, an outdoor dining venue associated with Compass Rose.
Here, the focus will be on wines, cocktails and alcohol-free drinks suited to daytime dining.
The Pearl of the Riviera will combine Grey Goose La Poire, Cocchi Americano, Luxardo Aperitivo and Prosecco.
Another new drink, Imperial Yuzu, will feature Junmai daiginjo sake, yuzu sake liqueur, Italicus Bergamot Liqueur and Prosecco.
The menu will also include a Harissa Bloody Mary, incorporating vodka, Bloody Mary mix, harissa paste and lemon juice.
A Mediterranean Paloma will combine blanco tequila, pink grapefruit, rosemary honey and soda water.
Two alcohol-free options have also been confirmed. The Orchard Fizz will feature apple juice, lemon and rosemary, while the Dark ‘n Spicy will combine Lyre’s Spiced Cane Spirit, lime juice, ginger beer and sugar-free vanilla syrup.
Beyond the newly announced menus, passengers will have access to several established Regent venues.
These include the Meridian Lounge, Observation Lounge, Connoisseur Lounge and Coffee Connection, alongside the Prestige Lounge, Casino and outdoor Pool Bar.
Cocktails, wines and spirits will also be available throughout the ship’s restaurants.
Regent has additionally developed a signature cocktail exclusively for Seven Seas Prestige, continuing its practice of creating a dedicated drink for each vessel in the fleet.
The new cocktail will combine Patrón Silver Tequila, Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, lime juice, egg white, agave syrup and grapefruit or orange bitters.
It will be served with a dehydrated lime wheel and Himalayan salt.
