Regent Seven Seas Cruises® elevates active luxury with All-New Solara Sports Deck aboard Seven Seas Prestige™

The Sun-Inspired Concept Introduces Premium Court Sports, a Dedicated Sunrise and Sunset Yoga Area, and the Fleet’s First Digital Gaming Experience
Regent also Reveals Details of the Highly Anticipated Ship’s Luxurious Solara Pool Deck
Regent Seven Seas Cruises®, the world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line, has revealed the details for its all-new Solara Sports Deck and spacious Solara Pool Deck aboard Seven Seas Prestige™ . Debuting in December 2026 on board the line’s first new ship class in a decade, these custom-designed spaces refined approach to open-air living will provide an oasis of active leisure and sophisticated relaxation above the waves.
Designed in partnership with SMC Architects, the Solara Sports Deck represents a significant milestone as Regent’s first-ever named sports deck. Perched on deck 14, at the very top of the vessel, this breathtaking venue brings a vibrant upscale energy to the outdoor amenities. Guests can look forward to a competition-sized padel and pickleball court, positioned to frame endless ocean views, and an expansive 18-hole putting green. The space also introduces two firsts for Regent – a sunrise and sunset yoga area and a digital gaming system featuring side-by-side Conductr Supercharged Shuffleboard units.
“Seven Seas Prestige will raise the bar for the ultra-luxury travel experience, and the Solara Sports Deck is a testament to how we are rethinking every inch of our new ship class,” said Wesley D’Silva, president of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “Our guests value a seamless blend of active wellness and refined leisure. By partnering with world-class architects, we’ve created a sleek outdoor environment that is as beautiful as it is functional, allowing our guests to unwind or play against the backdrop of the world’s most iconic horizons.”
The Solara Sports Deck introduces several fleet-first features that balance high-energy play with elevated social spots. By replacing standard sports netting with polished wood framing, architectural paneling, lush integrated planters, and relaxation areas, the entire space serves as a natural continuation of the ship’s interior aesthetic. As dusk falls, custom LED perimeter lighting subtly illuminates the activity boundaries, transforming the deck into an atmospheric social hub for evening play and stargazing.
At the aft of the ship, a sheltered social pavilion invites guests to gather for casual tournaments at the digital shuffleboard tables, or enjoy relaxed games of mini-bowling, chess, baggo, and covered ping pong, surrounded by plush, custom built-in banquettes for rest and relaxation. For those seeking additional serenity, the line’s first open-air wellness area will host sunrise and sunset stretching and yoga classes.
Adding to Seven Seas Prestige’s reimagined open-air amenities, the centrally located Solara Pool Deck serves as a natural, sun-drenched extension of the luxurious interior offering Unrivaled Space at Sea®. With ample sun loungers, the main pool area on deck 12 maximizes its premium real estate with a two-tiered sunbed concept inspired by the successful design structures on the Explorer-Class ships, framing a dramatic 48ft x 29ft pool with two accompanying whirlpool spas. Steps away, the outdoor culinary experience awaits, with the upscale Solara Pool Grill restaurant with artisanal pizzeria, and Solara Pool Bar providing premium beverages as part of Regent’s all-inclusive offering. The upper pool deck on deck 14 acts as the direct entryway to two of the ship’s premier specialty dining venues: Regent’s beloved pan-Asian favorite, Pacific Rim, and Azure, a brand-new specialty restaurant debuting authentic mezze-style Mediterranean cuisine.
“When designing Seven Seas Prestige’s Solara Sports Deck and Solara Pool Deck, our goal was to bridge the gap between outdoor fitness and boutique hotel elegance,” said Matt Fyvie at SMC Design. “We utilized premium materials such as high-performance composites and timber-effect resin flooring, complemented by soft luxury furnishings, to create a warm, intimate feel throughout the space. Discreet, refined lighting elements were carefully integrated into the architecture to ensure a seamless transition from day to night. Whether guests are participating in a tournament at sunset or making their way to the putting green after dark, every aspect of the experience feels intentional, cohesive, and fully integrated with the character of the ship.”
The Solara Sports Deck will be open to guests 24 hours a day and will feature curated social tournaments and dedicated wellness classes, launching with Seven Seas Prestige’s maiden voyage in December 2026.
