The world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line Regent Seven Seas Cruises is gearing its newest vessel, Seven Seas Prestige to be launched in December 2026, with new crystal light installation.
The installation serves as both an artistic marvel and a luminous symbol of the legacy beginning with Regent’s first new ship class in a decade. It has been created detailing the craftsmanship that has gone into creating this one-of-a-kind feature.
Rising through eleven decks within the ship’s soaring Starlight Atrium, the striking and contemporary interpretation of a traditional chandelier will also serve as the centrepiece for Lumière, Regent’s first-ever sound-and-light show, which is set to become a beloved daily pre-dinner ritual.
Wesley D’Silva, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, says they wanted to create something extraordinary, a defining statement that captures their heritage of unrivalled luxury while signalling a bold new era.
“This magnificent installation, which is truly a work of art, has been crafted in a centuries-old tradition and brought to life through the wonders of modern technology and engineering. It offers unforgettable moments of awe and wonder from the moment our guests first step aboard.”
the light installation’s story begins in the Czech Republic’s Crystal Valley, the historic birthplace of Bohemian glassmaking. For centuries, the region’s exceptional natural resources and master artisans have shaped raw materialsinto objects of brilliance. Now, that heritage will be celebrated at sea on an unprecedented scale.
The Starlight Atrium serves as the heart of Seven Seas Prestige, an architectural showpiece inspired by classical and Renaissance design. This radiant work of art, assembled with more than 300 hand-crafted Bohemian crystal rods, acts as a defining statement for the ship, evoking a powerful sense of arrival that sets the tone for the voyage ahead.
The piece, which presents as a sculptural work of art, can be dynamically programmed to create multiple moods and effects at different times of the day, creating an unforgettable, ever-changing experience at every viewing.

Lumiere Evening on Regent Seven Seas Cruises
Lumière, an enchanting evening ritual in the Starlight Atrium, shines a spotlight on the spectacular light installation that serves as the heart and soul of Seven Seas Prestige.
Taking place nightly at 6:25 p.m., the spectacle transforms the Starlight Atrium into a stage for a choreographed display of light and music, creating a memorable moment for guests to anticipate, experience and share.
Kai Carrier, director, entertainment creative, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, shared that Lumière is the ship’s nightly ritual, signalling the transition from day to evening as the Starlight Atrium lights up to a bespoke orchestral piece.
“Inspired by the anticipation of the beauty of sunset, it marks the moment the day gives way to a night sky of stars. Elegant, celestial, and aspirational, this signature transition is unmistakably Prestige, setting the tone for an extraordinary evening ahead.”
Lumière was designed to create a moment of shared anticipation and wonder each evening, bringing guests together beneath the heart of Seven Seas Prestige before they begin their night.
