In a remarkable fusion of maritime elegance and artistic heritage, Regent Seven Seas Cruises® recently unveiled a wonder at sea, not just a ship, but a floating gallery of opulence and history. The Seven Seas Grandeur™, a vessel that redefines luxury cruising, was christened in a gala of splendour and surprise in Miami, Florida. The highlight? The first-ever Fabergé Egg to grace the ocean’s depths, a symbolic jewel in the crown of the Regent’s luxury fleet.

The christening of the Seven Seas Grandeur is not just an addition to the world’s most luxurious fleet but a milestone in nautical sophistication. This event, held on December 10, 2023, was more than a ceremony. It celebrated a 30-year legacy in luxury cruising, witnessed by an exclusive cohort of VIP guests, travel elites, and media representatives.

Sarah Fabergé, a name that whispers tales of tsars and treasures, graced the event, embodying the bridge between the Fabergé legacy and the maritime marvel that is the Seven Seas Grandeur. As the vessel’s godmother, her presence was a testament to the union of historical craftsmanship and modern luxury.

In his address, Harry Sommer, President and CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd., captured the essence of this grandeur. He spoke of the Seven Seas Grandeur as “more than a ship, a masterpiece of art and luxury.” His words painted a picture of a vessel where every corner whispers tales of opulence, from its world-class art collection to its epicurean adventures.

Designed by the acclaimed Studio DADO, the ship’s interiors speak a language of elegance and innovation. The Compass Rose, Chartreuse, and Prime 7, signature restaurants on board, have been reimagined to cater to the tastes of the discerning. The Regent Suite, priced at a staggering AU$16,000/NZ$17,000 a night, redefines the word ‘luxury.’

Andrea DeMarco, the President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, highlighted the human element in this grandeur. “It’s not just about the luxurious spaces or the exquisite art collection. It’s about the people, our team, who bring our vision of unparalleled luxury to life,” she said.

The ship embarked on a three-night Caribbean journey post-ceremony, offering guests a taste of luxury, from unparalleled service to immersive shore excursions.

But the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the Fabergé x Regent ‘Journey in Jewels’ Egg Objet. This objet d’art, crafted in England, is a marvel of gemstones and gold, embodying the spirit of the seven seas. DeMarco remarked, “The Fabergé Egg is not just an art piece; it’s a symbol of our commitment to excellence and luxury.”

Sarah Fabergé spoke eloquently about the egg, linking it to her great-grandfather’s legacy and the seas’ infinite beauty. She will also host a Fabergé Spotlight Voyage in July 2024, offering guests an intimate insight into the world of Fabergé.

The Seven Seas Grandeur is not just a ship; it’s a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of perfection. In its halls, one can hear the echoes of history and the whispers of luxury. It’s not just a journey; it’s an experience, an odyssey of elegance on the high seas.
