Regent Seven Seas Cruises Just Unveiled the Largest All-inclusive Luxury Cruise Ship Suite in History—Starting at $25,000 Per Night

Yahooa day ago

Regent Seven Seas Cruises is launching its newest ship, , in 2026 and gave an exclusive first look at the renderings of its Skyview Regent Suite, which it says is the 'largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ship suite in history."There are luxury cruise ships, and then there's the 822-passenger Seven Seas Prestige—the most recent addition to Regent Seven Seas' fleet. Last month, Travel + Leisure got an inside look at the new ship and its Renaissance-inspired interiors, but today, the cruise line unveiled one of the most exciting features of the vessel: the Skyview Regent Suite.
Billed as the 'largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise ship suite in history,' the 8,794-square-foot, two-level suite is a far cry from the small, slightly cramped rooms most people associate with this type of travel. The palatial accommodations fit up to six guests, and anyone willing to pay the staggering $25,000 per night rate will get to take advantage of all of the perks that come with the booking—including a personal butler, daily spa treatments, private fitness sessions, and access to a private car and driver at each port.
And while the ship will dock at some of the most incredible places around the world—the maiden voyage will sail from Barcelona on Dec. 13, 2026, calling on Málaga, Spain; Madeira, Portugal; and Tortola in the British Virgin Islands before arriving in Miami—there's hardly a reason to leave the suite. Along with 3,703 square feet of wraparound balcony space, there's a personal gym, massage room, formal dining area, and all the panoramic ocean views you could ever need.
On the main level, you'll enter via the grand foyer and transition into the reception area (complete with a floating natural stone staircase and an in-suite elevator) before discovering the dining area with a library-style seating nook, bar, living room, and secondary full guest suite. Upon ascending to the upper level, you'll enter the main suite—an ultra-luxe space with a sitting area, ocean-facing bed, and spacious walk-in closet. The real highlight of the bedroom, though, just might be its spa-inspired bathroom, designed with a floating tub, sauna, walk-in shower, and twin vanities.
'In the Skyview Regent Suite, we aimed to capture the essence of modern Italian design, combining clean, elegant lines with exquisite craftsmanship to create a truly unforgettable experience,' Elias Sol, a senior associate at Studio DADO, said in a press release shared with T+L.
The design elements are complemented by a range of thoughtful, high-end amenities—from a curated pillow and linen menu and personalized stationery to in-suite caviar service and a welcome bottle of Dom Pérignon Champagne and Remy Martin Louis XIII Cognac.
Even if you don't snag the ship's highly coveted suite, there's still a chance to experience the other privileges and activities the Seven Seas Prestige provides its passengers. All guests will enjoy unlimited shore excursions, 11 different dining experiences, wines and spirits, high-speed Wi-Fi, various entertainment, laundry, and pre-paid gratuities.
'As Seven Seas Prestige sets sail on her inaugural season in December 2026, visiting the Caribbean and Europe's most iconic destinations, the ship's 12 suite categories, including the Skyview Regent Suite, will offer our discerning guests a once-in-a-lifetime way to experience the world—with all the comfort, elegance, and heartfelt hospitality that defines Regent,' Jason Montague, chief luxury officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises, shared in the press release.

8 Ways the Air India Crash Could Reshape Indian Aviation and Tourism

The airline industry and Indian officials face a lot of questions in the aftermath of Thursday's crash, and here's what we're playing close attention to. Air India Liveblog Ongoing coverage of the crash of Air India flight 171 from Skift's editorial team in India, Europe, and the United States. Ongoing coverage of the crash of Air India flight 171 from Skift's editorial team in India, Europe, and the United States. Get the Latest Updates Skift's coverage of the Air India crash is offered free to all readers. The crash of Air India Flight 171 is very personal to all of us at Skift. I'm Indian, my wife's family comes from Ahmedabad, and many of our staff do too. India's growth in travel has been a big story for Skift in recent years and we'll be following the economic and business fallout. The full impact will take days and weeks to fully understand but we'll be focused on what is at stake for India and specifically, the Indian travel and tourism ecosystem. These are eight important themes we're thinking about. 1: Boeing's Comeback Stalls This is the first-ever fatal crash of the Dreamliner. The narrative it's safe has been shattered. Boeing was already under a lot of pressure from Washington regarding its safety record. 2: Air India Under a Microscope This is year 3 of Air India being owned by Tata. This is the biggest test for Tata, as well as for Air India. And what does it mean for Air India's turnaround? Campbell Wilson – the foreign and white CEO – will be under the spotlight, trying to show empathy and leadership at the same time. It's the biggest test of his career. He has to come through. 3: Infrastructure vs. Oversight The crash creates hard questions for the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the authority that manages airports in India — especially as the country is home to the world's fastest-growing airport economy. Have the systems – the people, and the training, etc. – have they caught up with the hard infrastructure? 4: What It Means for the Dreamliners Is there a ground stop risk? Air India grounding its remaining long-haul 787 Dreamliners would give IndiGo an unexpected advantage. It will be interesting to see how IndiGo — in particular, its CEO Pieter Elbers — responds. 5: Blow For Indian Aviation? The International Air Transport Association held its annual general meeting in New Delhi last week. It was headlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and attracted a large number of airline CEOs. IndiGo had a huge moment in the spotlight as Pieter Elbers was the main host. The sun was rising on Indian aviation – has that evaporated? It needs to be seen. It's a huge turnaround from the optimism of last week to this week. 6: Optics for Modi Prime Minister Modi faces several challenges in the aftermath of the crash, including the transparency of relief efforts amid ongoing elections in the country. 7: NTSB's Involvement As Boeing is a U.S.-based company, the National Transportation Safety Board has already said it will assist the Indian government. Representatives from the agency will travel to India to assess the situation and examine any safety issues regarding Boeing. But it would take a while for the agency to get answers – investigations can take years to complete. 8: What It Means For Inbound Tourism to India When such crashes happen, there can be an impact on tourism. Indian inbound tourism already is not in the best shape and the crash could shake the confidence of business travelers planning trips to the country. Live Updates: Ongoing coverage of the crash of Air India flight 171 from Skift's editorial team in India, Europe, and the United States.

This Miami area mall was just voted best in the country. Here's why it's No. 1

Aventura Mall fans already know it's the best mall in the United States. Now the sprawling shopping center has national recognition, too. The Northeast Miami-Dade mall, a city unto itself with plenty of offerings and surrounding traffic jams, plays big. There's a big slide, an Apple Store, an Italian food hall and market. Now it also has a big ranking: Best Mall in America, as voted in the new USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards. 'Being named the best mall in the USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice Awards reflects our continued commitment to curating exceptional experiences,' said Jackie Soffer, chairman and CEO of Turnberry, the majority owner of Aventura Mall. 'From welcoming Florida's first Eataly to bringing the most coveted fashion and lifestyle brands, and supporting culture through our museum-quality art collection, we're proud to offer a premier destination that continues to evolve. We thank our loyal guests for their continued support and for making this achievement possible,' Soffer said in a statement to the Miami Herald. Eataly isn't the only first-in-Florida to open at sprawling Aventura Mall. Other brands trying Florida firsts in the last year include recent arrivals like Massimo Dutti wardrobe store, the fashion boutique Cinq à Sept, Dolce Vita footwear and Kim Kardashian's Skims store. MORE: How 'Florida firsts' are defining Aventura Mall. Here are some of the newcomers Twenty malls across the country were nominated for consideration by a panel of 'USA Today experts' in the fields of travel and lifestyle, according to the publication. The public was then given a chance to vote among the nominees. The only other Florida mall to contend was the Mall at Millenia in Orlando but it fell short of the Top 10. Sorry Dadeland, Aventura's also ever-growing Kendall-area rival that recently opened the first Dick's House of Sport in South Florida. MORE: Why is Aventura Mall both loved and loathed? It comes down to more than shopping Top 10 best U.S. malls So why is Aventura ranked above the others. 'As the largest mall in the state of Florida, Aventura Mall has more than 300 retail shops, experiences, and dining options, and boasts a museum-worthy art collection,' opines the USA Today 10 Best editors. Here are the 10 best malls in the nation, according to USA Today's Readers' Choice Awards. ▪ 1. Aventura Mall, Florida. ▪ 2. Mall of America, Bloomington, Minnesota. ▪ 3. Galleria Dallas, Texas. ▪ 4. The Shops & Restaurants at Hudson Yards, New York City. ▪ 5. King of Prussia Mall, Pennsylvania. ▪ 6. Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona. ▪ 7. American Dream, East Rutherford, New Jersey. ▪ 8. Grapevine Mills, Texas. ▪ 9. Tysons Corner Center, Virginia. ▪ 10. Brookfield Place, New York City.

U.S. Is About To Lose $12.5B, California's Entire Tourism Tax Revenue

People enjoying time together on vacation hiking trip. Golden Gate Bridge, over Pacific Ocean, ... More mountains in the background. San Francisco, California, USA The United States is the only country among 184 global economies, analyzed by the World Travel & Tourism Council and Oxford Economics, that is poised to lose a staggering $12.5 billion in international visitor spending this year. It is a 22.5% decline compared to 2024 and the equivalent of California's annual travel-related state and local tax revenue. Nearly 90% of tourism spending in the U.S. comes from domestic travelers. Still, the impact of international travelers is far greater than its share suggests since each spends around $4,000 per trip on average, eight times more than the average domestic tourist. In 2024, 72 million international visitors arrived in the U.S., 9.1% higher compared to 2013. However, based on the latest estimates, 2025 is shaping up to be a disappointing year. In 2024, over 20 million Canadians traveled to the U.S., spending approximately $20.5 billion. Early signs of a slowdown emerged in March as Canadian travelers stayed away. Summer flight bookings on Canada–U.S. routes have plunged more than 70% year-over-year, dropping from 1.5 million in March 2024 to just over 400,000 by March 2025, according to OAG. In May 2025, Canada recorded 4.8 million international arrivals by air and car (returning residents and non-residents included), marking a 16.7% drop compared to May 2024. It was the fourth straight month of year-over-year declines. U.S. Travel Association highlighted as early as February that these five U.S. states (Florida, California, Nevada, New York and Texas) would be hit hardest by a drop in Canadian visitors. As of April, Visit California indeed reported an almost 16% year-over-year decline in Canadian arrivals, its top international source market. The state now forecasts a 9.2% overall drop in international visitation and a 4.3% decline in visitor spending for 2025. It estimates that the most significant decline in spending (17%) will come from Canadian travelers. Canada is also Florida's top international source market, accounting for nearly 30% of foreign visitors last year. Unlike California, however, the decline has been less severe. Visit Florida reported only a 3.4% drop in Canadian arrivals by the end of the first quarter. New York City has also revised its tourism forecast, now expecting 3.1 million fewer visitors and an estimated $4 billion in lost revenue, according to a report first published by The New York Times. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, visits from Western Europe fell 17% in March 2025. This is the first year-over-year decline since 2021. Part of the drop came from two of the U.S.'s most important source markets: arrivals from the United Kingdom declined nearly 15%, while Germany plunged more than 28%. Travel from Asia also continued its downward trend, marking a second consecutive monthly decline. The region remains 25% below pre-pandemic levels, with South Korea down nearly 15% year over year. South America followed suit with a 10% decline in March after a flat February, driven by double-digit drops in visitors from Colombia and Ecuador. U.S. accommodations are under growing pressure this summer, with booking volumes down 6.7%, a decline fueled in part by a steep 46% year-over-year drop in Canadian travelers and a 7.4% dip in visitors from Mexico, according to the latest data of SiteMinder, a hotel distribution and revenue platform. Average daily rates (ADR) for U.S. accommodations have dipped to $317.29 for June–August, down 3.9% from $330.03 last year. However, not all regions experience a decline. Texas hotels reported a 6% increase in ADR, while Florida saw rates fall by nearly 8.8% year over year. There is a silver lining. According to SiteMinder, the average booking window for summer stays made in April held steady at 80.4 days, virtually unchanged from 81.8 days last year. Meanwhile, the average length of stay increased slightly to 2.29 days for summer 2025, compared to 2.26 days in 2024.
