| A new Prestige

CONSTRUCTION of Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ (RSSC) Seven Seas Prestige (CW 22 Oct), commenced recently, with a celebration at the Fincantieri shipyard in Italy.

Prestige will be the first ship in a new class for the cruise line, its first new class of ship in 10 years.

Three ceremonial coins were welded onto the keel of the ship, as part of a long-standing maritime tradition.

“Seven Seas Prestige represents our continued legacy of elevating the standard of ultra-luxury travel,” Chief Luxury Officer Jason Montague said.
