Greenspan Experiential Projects (Greenspan) is designing, engineering and installing multiple outdoor activities for the Solara Sports Deck onboard Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ new Seven Seas Prestige, which will debut in December 2026.
Working in collaboration with Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the company has designed multiple bespoke attractions, which will cover nearly 4,800 square feet of deck 14 and be open to guests 24 hours per day. They will include baggo (cornhole) boards with integrated storage drawers and scorekeepers, a competition-sized pickleball and padel court, a shuffleboard court, a mixed games area with a mini bowling lane and a large chess board, and a bocce court edged in rough turf that can host other lawn games, such as croquet.
Greenspan has also designed a shaded golf practice cage with a driving net and a practice putting green, as well as an accessible putting green at the bow of the ship. Each of the nine holes will have two cups to create a compact 18-hole course.
All the attractions will be made from durable, marine-grade materials that can withstand salt air, sea spray and all weathers. Greenspan will securely fix them into the deck structure to ensure they don’t move when the ship is sailing. The company will also install a purpose-built equipment storage box next to each activity space, which will double as spectator seating.

“The Solara Sports Deck shows what Greenspan brings to the cruise industry,” said Brook Tuffin, vice president of sales at Greenspan Experiential Projects. “We’ve spent 50 years designing and building leisure attractions, and nearly a decade of that at sea, so we understand what it takes: meticulous planning around shipbuilding schedules, quality we never compromise on, and true collaboration with our clients at every stage. Our job is to understand the experience a cruise line wants to create for its guests, then design, build, and deliver it to perform for years in the marine environment. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to on every project, and it’s why cruise lines trust us with theirs.”
Greenspan, which has delivered custom attractions for multiple major cruise brands including Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean International for almost 10 years, will work on further projects with Regent Seven Seas Cruises in future.
