Seven Seas Prestige in Kuşadası: planning ahead for her 2027 calls

Seven Seas Prestige has not carried a single guest yet. As of early October 2026 she is still waiting for delivery, which is planned for December 2026, with a first voyage from Barcelona to Miami announced for 13 December. Even so, Kuşadası is already on her calendar. The port schedule as of early October 2026 lists her for two Saturdays: 7 August 2027 and 25 September 2027, both from 08:00 to 18:00.

Planning a shore day for a ship that is not yet sailing comes with one caveat: first-season schedules can still change. The Seven Seas Prestige ship page always reflects the latest hours, so treat what follows as the plan for the current timetable.

She is the first ship of Regent Seven Seas Cruises' Prestige class, and the announced capacity is about 822 guests.

What 08:00 to 18:00 means for a safari

Our tours start at 11:00 and 16:00, and we need everyone back at the port at least 60 minutes before their ship leaves. With an 18:00 departure, the latest safe return is 17:00.

• The 11:00 tour brings you back between 13:45 and 14:15. That clears 17:00 by close to three hours, so it fits both Saturdays.
• The 16:00 tour brings you back between 18:45 and 19:15, after the ship has already gone. It would need a departure of 20:15 or later, so it is not an option on either date.

Your all-aboard time, printed in the ship's daily programme, is usually earlier than the departure time. Use that, not 18:00, as your real deadline for the afternoon.

A Saturday with the morning ride

Here is how one of these Saturdays could run.

You have a little over two hours between the 08:00 arrival and our meeting time. Breakfast and a walk off the ship take care of most of it. At 10:10 we meet at the Kervansaray, also known as The Big Ottoman Palace, about 50 m outside the cruise port exit; this map pin shows the spot. A drive of roughly 15 minutes brings you to the trail start in the pine forest behind Pamucak beach.

The ride begins at 11:00 and lasts about 2 hours. Half an hour of it is spent at the water on Pamucak beach, which gives everyone a break before the ride back through the trees. We have you back at the port between 13:45 and 14:15.

From there you have the afternoon in Kuşadası before the 18:00 sailing, with your all-aboard time as the limit.

August and September

Both dates fall in our riding season. That season ends with a winter closure lasting from 1 December to 31 March; the first rides of the new year are on 1 April, months before either Saturday. The hours are identical, so the plan above covers both. The only difference worth mentioning concerns the horse safari: whether swimming is possible during its beach stop depends on the season, so ask us about your date if you are hoping for a swim.

Quad, buggy or horse

The quad safari and buggy safari need no licence. Drivers must be 16 or over, there are single and double vehicles, and each ride starts with helmets, goggles and a safety briefing before the group sets off in convoy behind the guide. Children under about 2 years cannot ride. If you have never ridden a horse, the horse safari is made for beginners. It is open from age 8, with younger children accompanied by an experienced adult companion, and goes out as a small group with a riding guide. Helmets are provided.

Before you book

The cruise day planner lets you choose Seven Seas Prestige and either Saturday. It shows the 11:00 session as the one that fits and fills in the booking details for you. You can also use the reservation page directly.

Because she is a new ship, we suggest a final look at the full list of Seven Seas Prestige calls closer to your cruise. If her Kuşadası hours move, the same two numbers decide it: a departure of 15:15 or later for the morning ride, 20:15 or later for the afternoon one.
