Within its Prestige Holdings subsidiary, NCHL owns the luxury brands Oceania Cruises (4 ships) and Regent Seven Seas Cruises (3 ships). Oceania has purchased Ocean Princess from Princess Cruises for delivery in 2016 and Regent has a new ship on order due in 2016.
Regent Seven Seas Cruises, which is based in Miami, was formed in 1992 through the merger of two one-ship lines -- Radisson Cruises and Seven Seas Cruises. The former contributed the Radisson Diamond, the industry's only twin-hulled ship, and the latter operated Song of Flower. Both have been retired from the fleet.
