Telegraph23-06-2025
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is setting a new gold standard in ocean travel with the launch of Seven Seas Prestige, the latest jewel in its world-renowned fleet. Arriving in winter 2026, this all-suite, all-balcony vessel is more than just a ship – it's a floating palace designed for discerning travellers who expect the very best. With sweeping ocean views, curated culinary experiences, exquisite design and peerless service, Seven Seas Prestige is poised to redefine the art of luxury cruising. Be among the first to discover Seven Seas Prestige 's newly revealed Inaugural Season itineraries today and prepare to secure your suite when reservations open on 25 June 2025.
A floating masterpiece
At 77,000 tons and carrying just 822 guests with 630 dedicated crew members, Seven Seas Prestige offers one of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios in the cruise industry. With a crew-to-guest ratio of 1:1.31 and a ship that is 40 per cent larger than previous Regent ships – yet accommodates only 10 per cent more guests – it delivers truly unrivalled space at sea.
Every inch of the ship is designed to elevate the senses. From the sun-kissed Pool Deck to the refined Solara Sports Deck, where pickleball and golf meet panoramic sea views, guests will find space to relax or revive at their own pace.
Grand spaces, thoughtful detail
The ship's Starlight Atrium forms the heart of this extraordinary vessel. Here, golden spiral staircases ascend beneath soaring arches, casting a soft glow on intimate gatherings and spontaneous conversations. Just steps away is Galileo's Bar, a glamorous social hub where hand-crafted cocktails meet soft jazz and storytelling among new friends.
For those seeking entertainment, the Constellation Theater dazzles with world-class performances, while Coffee Connection, inspired by the great cafés of Europe, serves as a lively meeting point from morning espresso to late afternoon pastries.
Epicurean perfection
Seven Seas Prestige introduces a new legacy of epicurean perfection, with dining venues that span the globe. Signature favourites such as Prime 7, Compass Rose and Sette Mari at La Veranda are joined by Azure, an all-new Mediterranean restaurant designed with handwoven textures, sky-blue tones, and flavours kissed by citrus, olives and herbs.
Food lovers will also delight in the Culinary Arts Kitchen, where hands-on cooking classes – led by expert chefs – turn local ingredients into global masterpieces. After dining, guests can retreat to the Serene Spa & Wellness, a sanctuary of calm where warm stone, gentle light and state-of-the-art thermal suites offer deep relaxation. Expect salt-infused steam rooms, hydrotherapy pools and bespoke treatments crafted for serenity at sea.
The suite life, elevated
Accommodation aboard Seven Seas Prestige is nothing short of extraordinary. From the elegant Deluxe Veranda Suites to the palatial Skyview Regent Suite, every space is a masterclass in design, comfort and sophistication.
At the very pinnacle is the Skyview Regent Suite, accommodating up to six guests and spanning over 8,700 square feet. With two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a private in-suite elevator and panoramic wraparound balconies, it is truly the most exclusive address at sea. A private gym, personal sauna, and opulent bar complete the rarefied experience.
The brand-new Skyview Suites – Aura, Luna and Sola – offer a similarly elevated lifestyle, with two-storey layouts, jetted baths on private terraces and access to Deck 15, which is reserved exclusively for this suite category. Further accommodation options include the Signature Suites, new two-storey Grand Loft Suites and the mid-century styled Grand Suites – all offering vast private terraces, walk-in wardrobes and marble-clad bathrooms. Not forgetting the Penthouse Suites which deliver elegant detailing, personal butler service and plush furnishings designed to cradle you in comfort.
Inaugural journeys, lasting impressions
Seven Seas Prestige embarks on its Inaugural Season in 2026, setting sail on itineraries that promise not only natural beauty but cultural richness, from sunlit Mediterranean ports to ancient harbours and modern marvels. Along the way, Regent's renowned heartfelt hospitality ensures every moment on board feels deeply personal and unforgettable.

How Trump's tariffs could affect Fourth of July fireworks

Tariffs introduced by the Trump administration on Chinese fireworks are causing significant disruption for US suppliers and are expected to worsen by 2026. With approximately 99 percent of US fireworks imported from China, businesses have struggled to navigate wildly fluctuating tariff rates, which have varied from 10 percent to 145 percent. The industry anticipates severe challenges for the 250th anniversary of America's founding in 2026, as high demand will coincide with ongoing supply chain issues and the impact of these tariffs. Fireworks industry figures, including the National Fireworks Association, warn that low profit margins and production disruptions could jeopardize future celebratory displays. The White House has defended the tariffs, asserting that patriotism should not rely on 'cheap foreign-made firecrackers,' despite Trump's personal enjoyment of fireworks and a past exemption for them.

I went on the bucket-list Intrepid tour with world-famous beaches, legendary football and 80p cocktails

'I CAN'T dance . . . I'm English,' I insisted in my woeful Spanish. Milandra wasn't taking no for an answer, though, and forced me to my feet. 8 8 Before I knew what was happening, she and I were locked in a tight embrace, spinning around the dance floor. I usually avoid dancing in public, but in Buenos Aires, the tango is so culturally important, I felt it would be rude not to try. So I'd paid a visit to one of the city's milongas — ramshackle dance clubs found throughout the Argentine capital — where dance enthusiasts assemble every night to cut a rug with one another. I just hoped the locals wouldn't be too offended by what was essentially an act of desecration on my part, as I clumsily stumbled around the room, trying my best to stay on my feet while not crushing Milandra's. They say it takes two to tango, but really, she was the only one contributing to our performance. I was merely there — a practice dummy, as useful and as graceful as a big sack of sugar, but still, somehow, absolutely thrilled to be a part of it. That's the overriding emotion of South America — sheer and simple joy. I walked around in persistant child-like wonder, gawping idiotically at everything I found myself immersed in. Nowhere else was that more prevalent than Iguazu Falls, the centrepiece of Intrepid's seven-day Best of Argentina and Brazil tour that starts in Buenos Aires and ends in Rio de Janeiro, via a two-day trip to the most breath-taking natural park I have ever visited. In places like this, guides will lower expectations by explaining that they 'can't promise anything' when it comes to which wildlife will make an appearance. Outside of New York City I found vineyards, breweries and a race track They needn't be so cagey in Iguazu, with the sprawling stretch of jungle that saddles the border between the two countries packed with a gloriously diverse wealth of creatures. Toucans and parrots flew overhead, capybaras relaxed in the cooling waters of the Iguazu River and mischievous coati, a relative of the raccoon, flocked to picnic areas to fight over tourists ' dropped scraps. All of this, and so much more, plays out in front of the most awe-inspiring backdrop, the falls, which were officially declared one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature in 2011. 'Thrilling ambience' Rickety walkways offer vantage points to view most of the landmark's astounding angles, although guests can also take helicopter rides overhead, as well as a boat ride that is slightly more extreme than its name suggests. My fellow sailors and I were tossed about in our seats as our high-powered vessel first took on a barrage of rapids, before the skilled driver zipped in and out of some of the falls' more powerful sections, completely drenching each of us to the bone. I can't remember ever being quite so soaked, but the cool waters of the aggressive power shower were very refreshing in the 38C heat. It also enabled me to gain a truer appreciation of the force of nature I had been lucky enough to spend two exhilarating days exploring. Luckily, the opportunity to relax was provided at my final stop, Rio, where the locals on the famous Copacabana beach go out of their way to prevent you from having to do anything at all. After renting a chair for the day for just £2, I was approached by a steady stream of men with barbecues offering to cook enormous prawns, grilled cheeses or various meats without me ever needing to move from my spot. 8 8 Even more pleasing was the constant flow of vendors serving refreshing caipirinhas, the Brazilian's cocktail of choice — a dangerously drinkable mix of sugar, limes and cachaca, a local spirit made from fermented sugar cane that has the strength of a Long Island iced tea masked by the sweetness of a can of Lilt. They're not just found by the beach, either. In fact, they're sold from stalls throughout the city and range in price from 80p to around £3, according to the extensive research that I selflessly conducted. They're even sold at the city's tourist spots, with bars found on top of Sugarloaf Mountain, which offers stunning views over the city's beaches and coruscating favelas, as well as the Selaron Steps — 215 stairs colourfully decorated with tiles by Chilean artist Jorge Selaron that connect the city centre with the flamboyantly graffitied Santa Teresa neighbourhood. Perilous perch The main sight to see is the Christ The Redeemer statue, which has stood atop Mount Corcovado since 1931. It's an impressive monument to behold, particularly up close, where the craftsmanship that went into carving Jesus' face almost 100 years ago can be truly admired. From its perilous perch, tourists can pick out other famous sights, including the stage where most of Rio's carnival celebrations take place, and the Maracana stadium, where the Brazilian national football team and Flamengo play. South American fans are considered to be among the more rambunctious, so, keen to see what all the fuss was about, I got myself a ticket, with Intrepid's tours including matches as an optional extra. The streets surrounding the 78,000-seat arena were bursting with life from as much as two hours before kick-off, with barbecues, beer and, of course, caipirinhas all on offer, as Flamengo fans in their Dennis The Menace-esque black and red home shirts made their way to the ground. Once inside the legendary stadium, the noise and atmosphere only intensified, with samba beats being beaten loudly from drums, while pyrotechnics and giant flags enhanced the thrilling ambience. I did my best to sing along with the home fans, despite not knowing any Portuguese, and by the end I felt like an honorary member of their troop as we roared on Flamengo to a hard-fought 1-0 win. Then, as the fans filtered out afterwards, singing and dancing into the night, I ordered a final caipirinha and already began to feel a profound sense of longing for this truly magnificent part of the world before I'd even started packing for my flight home the next morning. Luckily, with trips like Intrepid's highlights tour, it's easy enough to plan another visit for the not-too-distant future. I just need to make sure I take a few tango lessons beforehand, so I can sweep Milandra off her feet next time, instead of almost standing all over them. 8 8 8 8
