Regent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed its inaugural Spotlight Voyage on Wellness & Longevity with premium skin wellness and anti-ageing brand, ELEMIS. To be hosted aboard the brand-new Seven Seas Prestige in August 2027, the special sailing will explore nutrition, mindfulness, movement, and healthy aging through expert-led sessions and wellness-focused activities.
The wellness-centred voyage is one of seven new Spotlight Voyages that have been released to the market by Regent Seven Seas Cruises, with each offering a “total immersion” into differing passions and interests. Other Spotlights Voyages will be held aboard Seven Seas Grandeur, Seven Seas Splendor and Seven Seas Voyager, all of which are in Europe.
Together, they offer a diverse range of themes, from wellness and genealogy to gastronomy and fine wine, providing guests distinct opportunities for discovery. Each voyage will feature thoughtful programming tailored to the theme of the sailing.
“Spotlight Voyages represent the evolution of luxury travel – guests are looking not only to see the world, but also to engage through their personal interests and passions,” said Wesley D’Silva, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“Our 2027 collection has been crafted to bring together world-class experts and iconic luxury brands in a way only Regent can deliver.
“From exclusive culinary and wine experiences to our inaugural wellness and longevity voyage, each sailing offers a unique perspective while delivering the unrivaled comfort and service of The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet®.”
