Regent Seven Seas Cruises is launching the new Epicurean Enrichment Studio, which is described by the company as state-of-the-art culinary theaters onboard the Seven Seas Mariner and the Seven Seas Voyager.

According to a press release, the initiative will elevate the standard for culinary enrichment at sea with experiences designed to connect guests to destinations through flavor, history and storytelling.

“Culinary exploration has always been at the heart of meaningful travel, and our new Epicurean Enrichment Studio allows guests to discover destinations through the eyes of our master chefs,” said Jason Montague, chief luxury officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

“From mastering the art of spice blending in India to savoring premium Mediterranean olive oils, every element is thoughtfully designed to connect our guests with the stories, traditions, and authentic flavors that define each region we visit,” he added.

Created by Kathryn Kelly, executive chef and director of culinary enrichment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the Epicurean Enrichment Studio will debut onboard the Seven Seas Mariner for its 2026 World Cruise, and the Seven Seas Voyager from May 2026.

The company said that the enriching experiences were designed to deepen guests’ appreciation for global cuisine and cultural traditions.

The initiative is based around five key pillars: Epicurean Passport Series, Chef’s Circle, Chef’s Table, Chef-Led Epicurean Enrichment Tours and Chef-Hosted Dining.

To host the program, the Seven Seas Mariner’s Stars’ Lounge and the Seven Seas Voyager’s Club.com internet space and boutique will be redesigned into dedicated spaces.

The addition will be part of what Regent described as multi-million-dollar refurbishments aimed at reinforcing its position at the forefront of ultra-luxury cruising.

“Our guests want to see the world through a culinary lens. The Epicurean Enrichment Studio is the natural evolution of our program, blending history, flavor, and authentic experience into every voyage,” said Chef Kathryn Kelly, executive chef and director of culinary enrichment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

The experience onboard the Seven Seas Mariner and the Seven Seas Voyager will begin each cruise with an open-house sparkling wine reception where guests may meet the resident chefs and sign up for programs and events around the following five pillars of the Epicurean Enrichment Studio.
