Regent Luxury Dining


Regent Seven Seas Shipboard Experience



Luxury Dining: Variety Is the Spice of Life

The elegant, spacious Compass Rose, serving fine continental cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is the main restaurant on all three Regent Seven Seas Cruises ships. Although it is the largest dining venue on board, its use of etched-glass partitions creates the impression of a much more intimate room and the tables are arranged so that most guests have a picture window. Menus include continental specialties as well as vegetarian and spa cuisine.




For dinnertime alternatives to the Compass Rose, guests will enjoy the iconic new steakhouse, Prime 7, aboard every Regent Seven Seas Cruises ship. Additionally, aboard Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner, your clients can make reservations at Signatures, serving authentic and quality French cuisine inspired by the legendary Le Cordon Bleu® of Paris.


The only restaurant at sea operated under the auspices of Le Cordon Bleu, Signatures sports a classic, elegant French ambiance, and serves cuisine that is far from traditional – a marvelous mixture of culinary delights as inventive and eclectic as tomorrow. As with all Regent restaurants, select wines are thoughtfully paired with each culinary creation as a perfect complement.


The most intimate of restaurants on board, Prime 7 Restaurant is a glamorous, contemporary interpretation of a classic American steakhouse. Along with avant-garde appetizers, savory soups and tantalizing desserts, the stars of the evening are the main courses with seven USDA Prime, dry-aged steaks to choose from: New York Strip, Porterhouse Steak, Côte de Boeuf Bone-in Rib Steak, American Wagyu Chopped Beef Steak, Filet Mignon, Slow Roasted Prime Rib of Beef and Surf and Turf (filet mignon with lobster tail or Alaska king crab legs). Other enticing selections include lamb, pork, veal, poultry and seafood specialties.




Also aboard the fleet is La Veranda, serving up elaborate breakfast and lunch buffets in a more casual atmosphere – including alfresco, if you so choose. At dinnertime, the setting is light-hearted and festive with an enticing mix of regional specialties on the menu.


If you are in the mood for a quiet dinner en suite, you may order selections from the chef's nightly menu during regular dining hours. In addition, the complimentary room-service menu is available 24 hours a day.
