The Main Pool Deck aboard Seven Seas Prestige is conceived as a journey from the beach to the ocean, a sophisticated open-air destination where natural forms, relaxed luxury and connection to the sea come together.

Inspired by moving oceans and contoured shorelines, the design uses organic forms and flowing architectural lines to soften the pool deck’s traditional geometry. Natural textures, warm timbers, stone-inspired finishes and a calm, neutral palette evoke the tactile qualities of sand, pebbles and coastal landscapes, creating a refined yet relaxed environment.

At its heart, the generous pool is complemented by an innovative two-tiered sunbed concept, making intelligent use of valuable deck space while creating different perspectives and more intimate areas for relaxation. Sculptural architectural elements provide rhythm and shade, while the surrounding jogging track continues the fluid design language and connection with the ocean.

The narrative extends into the Pool Grill, conceived as an elegant outdoor dining experience that balances simplicity and sophistication while subtly connecting to the sea. Light-filtering structures, tactile materials and relaxed furniture create a natural transition between dining, relaxation and the wider pool environment.

Rather than treating the pool, dining, and circulation areas as separate functions, the design creates a cohesive outdoor guest experience that flows naturally from active spaces to dining and relaxation.

Why it stands out: A contemporary interpretation of luxury at sea that takes its cues directly from the natural environment. Organic forms, coastal materials and intelligent space planning transform the traditional pool deck into a cohesive resort-style destination intrinsically connected to the ocean.
