Regent Seven Seas Prestige Unveils Jaw-Dropping New Solmar Terrace and Three Major Dining Upgrades
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is expanding the culinary offering aboard Seven Seas Prestige with the introduction of the new Solmar Terrace, an al fresco daytime venue set to debut in December 2026 alongside a refreshed Mediterranean menu at Azure and new dishes at the cruise line’s signature Prime 7 steakhouse.
The additions will increase the range of dining experiences available aboard the ultra-luxury ship, combining outdoor ocean views with a selection of sushi, mezze, tapas and yakitori-style small plates.

The venue will operate daily from 12.00 pm to 6.00 pm, allowing guests to enjoy lunch and afternoon dining in an outdoor setting while taking in panoramic views of the ocean.
Its menu will feature a selection of smaller dishes influenced by several international culinary traditions, including sushi, mezze starters, tapas and small yakitori plates.
The concept is designed around casual daytime dining, providing an alternative to the ship’s more formal restaurant experiences.
What Food Will Be Served at Solmar Terrace?
Solmar Terrace will focus on a varied selection of shareable and smaller-format dishes.
The menu will combine Japanese-inspired sushi and yakitori with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern-style mezze and Spanish-influenced tapas.
This variety is intended to allow guests to choose multiple dishes during a single visit, creating a more flexible daytime dining experience.
The outdoor location also makes the venue distinct from traditional indoor restaurants, with the surrounding sea providing the primary setting for the experience.
What Is Changing at Azure?
Alongside Solmar Terrace, Azure will introduce a newly revealed Mediterranean-inspired menu drawing influences from Northern Africa, Southern Europe and the Middle East.
The revised menu will include dishes such as Duck Leg Confit, Croquetas di Carne and Gambas al Ajillo, bringing a broader combination of regional flavours to the specialty restaurant.
The culinary direction reflects the diversity of Mediterranean food traditions, incorporating ingredients and techniques associated with several regions rather than focusing on a single national cuisine.
For guests, the changes add another layer of variety to the dining programme aboard Seven Seas Prestige.
What New Dishes Are Coming to Prime 7?
Regent’s signature steakhouse, Prime 7, will also feature an updated selection of recipes.
New dishes include Lobster Thermidor, House-Smoked Baby Back Ribs and a 14-Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake.
Prime 7 remains positioned as one of the ship’s central specialty dining experiences, with the refreshed menu extending its offering beyond traditional steakhouse dishes.
The additions combine seafood, smoked meats and an elaborate dessert, giving guests additional choices within the restaurant’s updated culinary programme.
Why Is Dining Important to Regent Seven Seas Cruises?
Food and dining are central components of the ultra-luxury cruise experience, particularly within an all-inclusive model where meals and restaurants form a significant part of the overall guest proposition.
The introduction of Solmar Terrace, the updated Azure menu and the Prime 7 recipes increases the number of culinary choices available to passengers.
Regent has positioned these developments around greater choice, variety and flexibility, allowing guests to select different styles of dining throughout the day.
The combination of indoor specialty restaurants and an outdoor daytime venue also provides passengers with different atmospheres depending on their preferences.
What Is the Significance of Solmar Terrace’s Location?
Solmar Terrace will be positioned aft of Compass Rose on Deck 5, giving the venue a direct connection with the ship’s outdoor environment.
Its aft position provides an ocean-facing setting that complements the open-air dining concept.
Operating from midday until 6.00 pm means the venue will cover lunch and afternoon periods, creating an additional option between the ship’s main meal periods.
The location also allows the restaurant concept to focus as much on the surrounding seascape as on the food, an important element of luxury cruising.
When Will Seven Seas Prestige Begin Its Inaugural Season?
Seven Seas Prestige is scheduled to begin its inaugural season on 13 December 2026.
The ship’s first voyage will be a 14-night transatlantic sailing from Barcelona to Miami, marking the beginning of its operational programme.
The December debut means guests travelling during the inaugural season will encounter the newly introduced culinary concepts as part of the ship’s onboard offering.
The timing also positions the expanded dining programme as one of the features accompanying the vessel’s entry into the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet.
How Large Is Seven Seas Prestige?
Seven Seas Prestige measures approximately 76,550 gross tons and will accommodate 822 guests.
The ship features 411 balcony suites, meaning each guest suite is designed with private outdoor space.
The vessel’s capacity and all-suite configuration are aligned with Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ ultra-luxury positioning, while the expanded culinary programme provides multiple venues through which passengers can experience the ship.
With the introduction of Solmar Terrace, Azure’s new menu and Prime 7’s updated recipes, dining becomes an important part of the ship’s overall debut proposition.
How Does the Culinary Expansion Fit the All-Inclusive Model?
Regent’s all-inclusive approach places dining among the core components of the onboard experience.
Adding another daytime venue gives guests greater flexibility in deciding where and when to eat, while the revised specialty restaurant menus increase the diversity of cuisines and dishes available.
Solmar Terrace is particularly notable because it introduces a dedicated al fresco daytime dining experience, complementing the existing restaurant portfolio rather than simply replicating an indoor concept outdoors.
Azure and Prime 7 provide contrasting culinary identities, allowing the overall programme to move between Mediterranean-inspired flavours, international small plates and classic steakhouse cuisine.
What Can Guests Expect From Seven Seas Prestige?
The combination of Solmar Terrace, Azure’s Mediterranean menu and Prime 7’s enhanced recipes will give Seven Seas Prestige a broader culinary proposition when it begins sailing in December.
Guests will be able to move between outdoor daytime dining, specialty restaurant experiences and established Regent venues, with menus designed around different cuisines and occasions.
Solmar Terrace will provide sushi, mezze, tapas and yakitori against an ocean backdrop, while Azure will explore flavours from Northern Africa, Southern Europe and the Middle East. Prime 7 will add dishes including Lobster Thermidor, House-Smoked Baby Back Ribs and a 14-Layer Chocolate Mousse Cake.
With its 13 December 2026 inaugural departure from Barcelona to Miami, Seven Seas Prestige is entering service with a dining programme designed to give passengers more choice throughout their voyage.
