Remember that super pricey luxury cruise we told you about last week — the one that cost up to $550,000 per cabin? It’s a downright bargain compared to another wildly high-priced sailing announced this week.
Luxury line Regent Seven Seas Cruises on Wednesday revealed plans for an epic 140-night world cruise out of Miami that would start at an unprecedented $182,998 for the smallest available rooms.
Kicking off Jan. 11, 2027, aboard Regent’s 746-passenger Seven Seas Splendor, the sailing will cost as much as $1.7 million for those booking the ship’s top suite, according to the line.

That’s a top fare level several times higher than any cruise line has ever charged for a single voyage.
The $1.7 million fare — $1,679,998, to be exact — will be for the famously over-the-top Regent Suite on Seven Seas Splendor.
Bigger than the average American house at 4,443 square feet, the Regent Suite on Seven Seas Splendor is known for its industry-leading opulence, which includes such luxury touches as a bed with a handmade mattress that cost $200,000 and a private spa area with unlimited treatments.
No other cruise ship suite comes close to the Regent Suite on Seven Seas Splendor in size, luxury or amenities other than two almost identical suites on sister ships Seven Seas Grandeur and Seven Seas Explorer.

Each of the three Regent Suites regularly sells out at more than $10,000 per night.
The world cruise that Regent announced Wednesday will mark the first time that the Regent Suite — the most expensive suite in cruising — has been available to book for such a lengthy cruise. Seven Seas Splendor has never operated a world cruise before.
Regent typically offers one such monthslong world voyage each year. But until now, it offered the voyages on older, less opulent vessels with smaller and less pricey suites.

Regent’s one world cruise for 2026, for instance, will take place on the 23-year-old Seven Seas Mariner, where the top suites measure 2,000 square feet — less than half the size of the Regent Suites. Fares for that voyage top out at $532,998 for the biggest suite.
While still sky-high, that top fare for the 2026 sailing is less than a third of the cost of the Regent Suite on the 2027 world cruise.
Around the world in luxury
Starting in Miami and ending nearly five months later in New York City, Regent’s newly announced world cruise will include a full circling of the globe with stops at 71 different destinations in 40 countries.
Heading westward after leaving Miami, Seven Seas Splendor will travel across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific before a series of calls in New Zealand and Australia.
From there, the ship will travel across wide swaths of Asia, the Middle East and Europe before returning to North America.

Regent said Wednesday that the vessel would travel 35,668 nautical miles during the voyage, which will include stops at every continent except Antarctica.
“We have seen continued interest and demand to venture farther afield and for longer durations,” Andrea DeMarco, Regent’s president, said in a statement accompanying the announcement.
As is typical for Regent, the fares for the voyage are highly all-inclusive. Those who book the trip can pick from 486 included shore excursions and will get unlimited valet laundry, including dry cleaning, while on board. First-class flights to and from the ship, door-to-door luggage service and onboard medical consultations are also included.

A one-night pre-cruise stay at a luxury hotel in Miami, a pre-cruise gala and special shoreside events in Panama City, Panama; Colombo, Sri Lanka; and Malaga, Spain, also come with the fare.
Additionally, fares include dining at specialty restaurants, premium beverages like fine wines and spirits, and unlimited Wi-Fi.
In its announcement, Regent said Seven Seas Splendor would sail on the voyage with 13,000 pounds of lobster, 14,000 pounds of filet mignon, 3,600 pounds of smoked salmon and 150 pounds of caviar.
The ship will also carry 58,000 bottles of wine and 14,000 bottles of Champagne.
The newly announced world cruise will open for reservations April 10, but potential passengers can preregister to book the sailing beginning Wednesday by calling 844-473-4368 or visiting RSSC.com/2027-World-Cruise.
