Regent Seven Seas Cruises has announced that Sarah Fabergé, founding member of the Fabergé Heritage Council and great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, will serve as godmother to Seven Seas Grandeur.

Fabergé will christen the ship at an event in Miami on 10 December 2023. The ceremony will also feature entertainment from Emmy and Tony award-winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth.

Seven Seas Grandeur will then embark on a three-night Caribbean christening cruise, before returning to Miami for its maiden Caribbean season.

Sarah Fabergé will also host a Fabergé Spotlight Voyage on board Seven Seas Grandeur, sailing 1 July 2024.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises also has a wider partnership with the Fabergé company.

As part of this, Regent previously announced the commission of a “one-of-a-kind” object known as Journey in Jewels.

This Fabergé egg will “hold the distinction of being the first-ever permanent resident of its kind on the open seas”.

Regent Seven Seas hails ‘ideal godmother’

Regent Seven Seas president Andrea DeMarco said: “As a founding member of the Fabergé Heritage Council, Sarah symbolises the shared ethos and distinctive qualities that define our two eminent luxury brands and is therefore the ideal godmother of our newest ship, Seven Seas Grandeur.

“Seven Seas Grandeur has been inspired by the past and stunningly reimagined for the future, exemplifying our heritage of perfection with unrivalled space, unparalleled service, epicurean perfection and transformative experiences that begin the moment guests step aboard.

“Fabergé’s storied legacy of unwavering perfection, unparalleled craftsmanship and relentless pursuit of excellence aligns harmoniously with the core values of our own distinguished luxury brand.”

Sarah Fabergé added: “I am honoured to be godmother to this extraordinary new ship which, like Fabergé, has been inspired by the past and reimagined for the future.”
