Regent Seven Seas Cruises Names Godmother of Seven Seas Grandeur

Luxury operator Regent Seven Seas Cruises is gearing up for the launch upcoming new ship Seven Seas Grandeur. In advance of the vessel’s late 2023 debut, the cruise line has announced that Sarah Fabergé will serve as Godmother to the ship.

Seven Seas Grandeur will be christened by Fabergé at an exclusive gala event on December 10, 2023, in Miami. Festivities will feature entertainment from Emmy and Tony Award-Winning actress and singer Kristin Chenoweth.

Sarah Fabergé is the Great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, legendary artist-jeweler and entrepreneur. She serves as a member of the Fabergé Heritage Council which helps to support the Fabergé Management Team in its pursuit of excellence and exclusivity and provides guidance on Peter Carl Fabergé and his legacy.

“As a founding member of the Fabergé Heritage Council, Sarah symbolizes 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,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “We are deeply honored to name Sarah Fabergé as Godmother, and I am delighted to welcome her to the Regent Seven Seas Cruises family. Seven Seas Grandeur has been inspired by the past and stunningly reimagined for the future, exemplifying our heritage of perfection with unrivaled 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’s appointment as Godmother to Seven Seas Grandeur marks the celebration of Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ partnership with Fabergé. As part of the collaboration, Regent has commissioned a one-of-a-kind, meticulously hand-crafted objet d'art known as ‘Journey in Jewels’. This exquisite Fabergé egg will hold the distinction of being the first-ever permanent resident of its kind at sea, and will serve as the ‘crowning jewel’ within the ship’s art collection. 

As part of Regent’s partnership with Fabergé, Sarah will wear bespoke Fabergé earrings and a ring specifically designed for the upcoming Christening event. These pieces will be auctioned to raise money for the Gemfields Foundation (the charitable arm of Gemfields, the parent company of Fabergé). This foundation is dedicated to undertaking various activations designed to address poverty alleviation and wildlife conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. 

In July 2024, Sarah Fabergé will host a special 10-night Fabergé Spotlight Voyage on board Seven Seas Grandeur featuring small group master-class programs, exclusive shore-side tours, jeweled egg demonstrations, lectures, and screenings.
