The world’s leading ultra-luxury cruise line has joined forces with Italy’s most revered sleep specialists to redefine what rest at sea can mean — and the results are extraordinary.
When Regent Seven Seas Cruises set out to design Seven Seas Prestige — its most anticipated new ship, launching in December 2026 — the question wasn’t simply how to make guests comfortable. It was how to make them sleep better than they ever have on land. The answer came in the form of a partnership with Flou, the celebrated Italian bed-makers whose handcrafted sleep systems have long been synonymous with the art of rest.
Together, the two brands have created something genuinely unprecedented: a suite of sleep experiences aboard Seven Seas Prestige that range from award-winning design to a one-of-a-kind bespoke commission — the finest bed, by any measure, currently at sea.
A Custom Bed for the Most Exclusive Suite in Cruising History
At the apex of the partnership sits the Skyview Regent Suite — a two-storey, two-bedroom sanctuary spanning an extraordinary 817 square metres, available from USD $25,000 per night. When it launches, it will be the largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury suite ever to sail the world’s oceans.
For its principal bedroom, Flou’s artisans have spent hundreds of hours creating a mattress found nowhere else on earth. Nearly 7 ft by 7 ft in dimension, it is engineered with more than 10,000 micro pocket springs arranged across six temperature-controlling layers, and woven with natural antibacterial silver thread. The result is a sleep system with a mechanical “memory” effect that adapts with precision to each sleeper’s position — cradling without constraining, supporting without stiffness.
The craftsmanship extends to every material. Full-grain leather — processed to preserve its original grain for lasting softness — meets precious woods selected as much for their tactile warmth as their beauty. These are materials chosen not just for how they look on day one, but for how they improve over time: an ethos that speaks to both Flou’s philosophy and Regent’s commitment to enduring quality.
Skyview Regent Suite guests will also have access to a curated pillow and linen menu — the considered final layer to a sleep experience that leaves nothing to chance.
The Leonardo Sleep System: Award-Winning Rest for Distinctive Suite Guests
For guests staying in Regent’s Distinctive Suites — from Seven Seas Suites through to Signature Suites — Seven Seas Prestige will feature Flou’s acclaimed Leonardo Sleep System, an innovative approach to rest that has earned international recognition for good reason.
The Leonardo system is built around four essential components — bed base, mattress, top mattress and pillow — each engineered to work in harmony. Natural fibres regulate temperature and moisture throughout the night, while the layered support structure promotes the kind of deep, uninterrupted sleep that transforms how travellers feel the following day. Every piece is handcrafted in Italy, where traditional bed-making techniques meet modern engineering and the finest natural materials.
Why This Matters Aboard Seven Seas Prestige
Sleep is increasingly understood as a cornerstone of wellness — and for ultra-luxury travellers, the quality of rest aboard a ship can define an entire voyage. Regent has long understood this, and the Flou partnership represents the most sophisticated expression yet of that conviction.
It also arrives aboard a ship that is rewriting the rules of ocean travel. Seven Seas Prestige will be 40 percent larger than previous Regent vessels, yet accommodate only 10 percent more guests — delivering the extraordinary crew-to-guest ratio and spaciousness the brand calls Unrivalled Space at Sea. Alongside the Flou sleep experience, the ship introduces new suite categories, gourmet dining concepts, bars and lounges, and a host of innovations that have made it the most eagerly awaited cruise launch of 2026.
For those who believe that how you sleep shapes how you travel, Seven Seas Prestige has raised the bar beyond anything the industry has seen before.
