Regent Seven Seas Cruises Just Unveiled the Largest All-inclusive Luxury Cruise Ship Suite in History—Starting at $25,000 Per Night
Regent Seven Seas Cruises is launching its newest ship, , in 2026 and gave an exclusive first look at the renderings of its Skyview Regent Suite, which it says is the 'largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ship suite in history."There are luxury cruise ships, and then there's the 822-passenger Seven Seas Prestige—the most recent addition to Regent Seven Seas' fleet. Last month, Travel + Leisure got an inside look at the new ship and its Renaissance-inspired interiors, but today, the cruise line unveiled one of the most exciting features of the vessel: the Skyview Regent Suite. Billed as the 'largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ship suite in history,' the 8,794-square-foot, two-level suite is a far cry from the small, slightly cramped rooms most people associate with this type of travel. The palatial accommodations fit up to six guests, and anyone willing to pay the staggering $25,000 per night rate will get to take advantage of all of the perks that come with the booking—including a personal butler, daily spa treatments, private fitness sessions, and access to a private car and driver at each port. And while the ship will dock at some of the most incredible places around the world—the maiden voyage will sail from Barcelona on Dec. 13, 2026, calling on Málaga, Spain; Madeira, Portugal; and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands before arriving in Miami—there's hardly a reason to leave the suite. Along with 3,703 square feet of wraparound balcony space, there's a personal gym, massage room, formal dining area, and all the panoramic ocean views you could ever need. On the main level, you'll enter via the grand foyer and transition into the reception area (complete with a floating natural stone staircase and an in-suite elevator) before discovering the dining area with a library-style seating nook, bar, living room, and secondary full guest suite. Upon ascending to the upper level, you'll enter the main suite—an ultra-luxe space with a sitting area, ocean-facing bed, and spacious walk-in closet. The real highlight of the bedroom, though, just might be its spa-inspired bathroom, designed with a floating tub, sauna, walk-in shower, and twin vanities. 'In the Skyview Regent Suite, we aimed to capture the essence of modern Italian design, combining clean, elegant lines with exquisite craftsmanship to create a truly unforgettable experience,' Elias Sol, a senior associate at Studio DADO, said in a press release shared with T+L. The design elements are complemented by a range of thoughtful, high-end amenities—from a curated pillow and linen menu and personalized stationery to in-suite caviar service and a welcome bottle of Dom Pérignon Champagne and Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac. Even if you don't snag the ship's highly coveted suite, there's still a chance to experience the other privileges and activities the Seven Seas Prestige provides its passengers. All guests will enjoy unlimited shore excursions, 11 different dining experiences, wines and spirits, high-speed Wi-Fi, various entertainment, laundry, and pre-paid gratuities. 'As Seven Seas Prestige sets sail on her inaugural season in December 2026, visiting the Caribbean and Europe's most iconic destinations, the ship's 12 suite categories, including the Skyview Regent Suite, will offer our discerning guests a once-in-a-lifetime way to experience the world—with all the comfort, elegance, and heartfelt hospitality that defines Regent,' Jason Montague, chief luxury officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, shared in the press release.

KFC unveils gravy-inspired fashion collection with Aries
Fried chicken fast food chain KFC has teamed up with London-based streetwear brand Aries to launch a capsule collection described as a 'love letter to comfort food and couture'. The 10-piece 'Gravy Drip' capsule collection gives high fashion a 'finger lickin' twist' and draws inspiration from KFC's gravy, offering hand-dripped leather jackets, digitally printed denim wrapped in Roman banquet-inspired scenes and black T-shirts dripping in golden gravy. KFC x Aries 'Gravy Drip' collection campaign Credits: Aries shot by Douglas Irvine Commenting on the collaboration, Sofia Prantera, founder of Aries, said in a statement: 'We wanted to create something beautifully executed with a subtle touch of irony. 'The idea of reverence, ritual, and indulgence evoked the spirit of a Roman feast and a celebration of excess.' The limited-edition range, which launches on Aries website on June 4, also includes black sweats with gold detailing, a golden chicken drumstick pendant necklace glazed in gravy-hued enamel, a luxury ceramic gravy boat with a gold-drip spout and embossed logos, and a sticker pack, fusing Roman architecture with tongue-in-cheek chicken iconography. KFC x Aries 'Gravy Drip' leather jacket Credits: Aries The statement piece from the collection is a distressed leather jacket in deep gravy brown for 1,400 pounds, finished with a Renaissance-inspired back panel with celestial figures presenting chicken drumsticks like prized treasures. Each jacket is also finished with a co-branded gold foil logo and a hand-applied gold drip effect, making every piece one-of-a-kind piece. This is the latest fashion collaboration from KFC. The fast-food chain has partnered with Sinead Gorey, where models were seen clutching chicken mid-strut on the catwalk, as well as launching wearable accessories with lifestyle brand Loungefly, including drumstick crossbody bags and a co-branded collection with fashion and lifestyle label Hype blending KFC's tongue-n-cheek slogans and menu with Hype's bold heritage statements. KFC x Aries 'Gravy Drip' collection campaign Credits: Aries shot by Douglas Irvine Phoebe Syms, brand manager at KFC UK and Ireland, added: "When we thought about bringing the nation's gravy obsession into the world of fashion, we knew there was only one brand iconic and fearless enough to do it with us – Aries. 'This is more than just a collab, it's the ultimate gravy drip, a love letter to our liquid gold." The KFC x Aries 'Gravy Drip' collection is available exclusively from from June 4. Prices range from 12 to 1,400 pounds. KFC x Aries 'Gravy Drip' collection campaign shot by Douglas Irvine Credits: Aries shot by Douglas Irvine
