Regent Seven Seas Cruises has unveiled the entertainment program for Seven Seas Prestige, a ship set to debut on December 28, 2026, introducing the company’s first new class in a decade.
The offering will include six original productions, the largest live music program ever developed by Regent, and new projects dedicated to theater and cultural enrichment. These include The Broadway Experience, scheduled to debut on the ship on January 20, 2027, and the Luminaries at Sea lecture series.
“With Seven Seas Prestige, every detail was designed around the way our guests want to travel, and entertainment is no exception,” says Wesley D’Silva, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
Six productions created for the new ship, Seven Seas Prestige
The core of the evening program will consist of six shows developed by the Prestige Production Company: Viva Vedette, Riviera Luxe, Rewind, Allegro, Golden Night and Tipples & Tales.
The productions are led by Bryan White, vice president of Entertainment Production at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, and Kai Alan Carrier, the group’s director of Entertainment Creative Development.
The costume collection created for the shows comprises 781 exclusive pieces and accessories, selected by Nicholas Bursoni, NCLH’s senior manager of Theatrical Costumes.
From the 1980s to contemporary opera
Viva Vedette will pay tribute to showgirls and the classic shows of the Copacabana and Folies Bergère, blending traditional references with contemporary production. The show is directed by two-time Tony nominee Kevin Duda, with choreography by Emmy winner Karla Puno Garcia.
Riviera Luxe will explore the glamour and romance of the world’s best-known rivieras. The production will bring together contemporary music, retro classics, choreography, haute couture costumes and visual effects.
Rewind will be dedicated to the music and aesthetics of the 1980s. The show will feature choreography by Emily Evenden and costumes by Tony-nominated designer Ryan Park.
Allegro, in turn, will combine opera and Broadway ballads with a pop sound. The show will feature choreography by Emmy nominee James Alonzo White, who is part of Cirque du Soleil’s Mad Apple production.
Experiences in the atrium and Meridian Lounge
The program will also extend to other areas of Seven Seas Prestige. In the Starlight Atrium, the experience will be divided into two moments.
Before dinner, Golden Hour will bring together live music, champagne, appetizers and artistic costumes. Afterwards, Golden Night will transform the atrium into a party with a band, vocalists and a dance floor beneath the central chandelier.
In the Meridian Lounge, Tipples & Tales: A Zacapa Rum Voyage will combine rum tasting, maritime stories, music and theatrical performances in a more intimate format.
The shows Viva Vedette, Riviera Luxe, Rewind and Allegro will be presented in the Constellation Theater, the main theater aboard Seven Seas Prestige.
Live music takes center stage
The new ship will offer the most comprehensive music program ever presented by Regent Seven Seas Cruises. Performances will be spread across venues such as the Prestige Lounge, Meridian Lounge and Observation Lounge.
For the first time in the company’s history, the offering will include a resident DJ, a jazz duo and a string duo. These acts will join formats already familiar across the fleet, such as pianists and contemporary duos.
The music selections will be tailored to the concept and atmosphere of each venue, accompanying different moments of the evening.
Broadway artists set sail in 2027
The Broadway Experience will debut aboard Seven Seas Prestige on January 20, 2027, and will later be introduced on other ships in the fleet.
The performances will bring together current and recent Broadway and West End artists at the Constellation Theater, accompanied by a live orchestra. In addition to musical numbers, guests will share stories related to the productions and characters they have portrayed.
Among the first names announced are Kerry Ellis, known for playing Elphaba in Wicked in the West End; Charl Brown, Tony-nominated for his performance as Smokey Robinson in Motown: The Musical; and Keri René Fuller, who also played Elphaba on Broadway.
Lectures with artists, authors and experts
The cultural enrichment program will be expanded through the Luminaries at Sea series, which will host conversations with thinkers, explorers, artists, authors and personalities from different fields.
The participants sailing specifically on Seven Seas Prestige have yet to be announced. For the fleet’s other ships, Grammy-winning singer Melissa Manchester and Kathy Reichs, a forensic anthropologist and author of the books that inspired the television series Bones, have already been confirmed.
The full program will debut during Seven Seas Prestige’s inaugural voyage, scheduled for December 28, 2026, departing from Miami, United States.
