Regent Seven Seas Cruises has showcased its culinary flair aboard its newest ship, the Seven Seas Prestige.

Building on a concept first introduced on Regent’s Explorer-Class ships, the Culinary Arts Kitchen will debut on the Prestige with immersive gastronomic experiences that connect guests to destinations through flavor, history and storytelling, the company said in a press release.

The Culinary Arts Kitchen was crafted by Kathryn Kelly, executive chef and director of culinary enrichment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises and will offer 64 culinary classes and 25 Epicurean Explorer Tours across the ship’s sailings through March 2029.

“The popularity of discovering destinations through food is undeniable; this is why we have placed a strong emphasis on epicurean enrichment on board the Seven Seas Prestige,” said Wesley D’Silva, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.

Culinary Arts Kitchen class highlights include:

• Latin cuisine
• A gastronomic history of Australia, and
• Signature dishes from France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Morocco, Spain and Turkey.

The company added that while sailing to destinations across the globe, guests can further immerse themselves in local culture through Regent’s Epicurean Explorer Tours.

During these journeys, chef instructors will guide small-group tours through local markets, sampling culinary treasures, or enjoying the highest levels of cuisine in famed Michelin-star restaurants.

Many tours also return to the ship for additional tastings, demonstrations, or enriching sessions in the Culinary Arts Kitchen.

Culinary Arts Kitchen classes and Epicurean Explorer Tours are an additional cost and can be reserved before sailing via guests’ online account.

“Our goal is to give guests the opportunity to explore cuisines, ingredients, and culinary traditions inspired by the destinations we visit, while enjoying a fun, social environment where stories and experiences are shared,” said Chef Kathryn Kelly, executive chef and director of culinary enrichment for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
