Regent Seven Seas Cruises (abbreviated as RSSC), previously known as Radisson Seven Seas Cruises, is a premium cruise line based in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

Since September 2014, RSSC has functioned as a fully owned subsidiary under Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, alongside its sister companies Norwegian Cruise Line and Oceania Cruises.

Ownership

In February 2008, Apollo Global Management, a private equity firm headquartered in New York, purchased Regent Seven Seas Cruises from Carlson Companies for $1 billion. Apollo also held ownership of Oceania Cruises and maintained a 15.8% stake in Norwegian Cruise Line. Meanwhile, Carlson continued to operate the global Regent Hotels & Resorts brand.

Following the acquisition, Apollo revealed intentions to commission a new vessel for Regent comparable in scale to the Seven Seas Voyager and Seven Seas Mariner, but designed with more spacious suites and enhanced public areas—this project culminated in the creation of the Seven Seas Explorer.

On September 2, 2014, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings acquired Prestige Cruise Holdings—the parent entity of both Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises—for $3.025 billion.
