Sarah Bretz, ContributorRegent Seven Seas Cruises has revealed details on its new restaurant Azure, which will debut aboard Seven Seas Prestige when the ship launches in December 2026.
The Mediterranean specialty restaurant will feature a unique mezze-style dining concept curated to foster connection and community. Encouraged to enjoy their meal by sharing dishes, guests will be transported by amuse-bouche, appetizers, main courses, and desserts, inspired by the Mediterranean’s varied culture, rich history, and vast geography that spans Europe, Africa, and Asia.
The design of the restaurant has been inspired by a mix of Mediterranean influences including Moroccan, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Israeli, and Lebanese cues. 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 the centerpiece of the restaurant. Niches filled with clay pots, dried flower arrangements, and natural elements add a rustic, earthy charm to the space.
Imagined by Studio DADO and AD Associates, the unique restaurant designs for Seven Seas Prestige draw inspiration from constellations, the Art Deco sophistication of early 20th-century Europe, Japanese design principles, and the history of Chicago’s industrial past.
Azure will be one of seven specialty restaurants and 11 complimentary dining experiences aboard Seven Seas Prestige. Another brand-new dining venue will be revealed at a later date.
The ship’s dining experience includes the full collection of beloved restaurants already found across the fleet:
- Compass Rose, the largest specialty restaurant at sea where guests can customize 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
- La Veranda for guests to enjoy breakfasts and lunch buffets
Seven Seas Prestige will also offer 24-hour room service, casual fare at the Pool Grill and coffees, teas, pastries, cold-cuts, fruit, and more at Coffee Connection. All dining is included in the cruise fare along with premium beverages including fine wines and spirits.
