We’re delighted to announce that Sarah Fabergé, Founding Member of our Heritage Council and great-granddaughter of Peter Carl Fabergé, will serve as Godmother to Seven Seas Grandeur, a new ship by Regent Seven Seas Cruises®.
Sarah will christen the ship at an exclusive gala event in Miami, Florida on December 10, 2023. Seven Seas Grandeur will then embark on a 3-night Caribbean christening cruise, before returning to Miami for its maiden Caribbean season.
“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,” said Andrea DeMarco, President of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “We are deeply honoured to name Sarah Fabergé as Godmother, and I am delighted to welcome her to the Regent Seven Seas Cruises family.”
DeMarco continued “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.”
“Today’s Fabergé looks to the ingenuity of my great-grandfather, Peter Carl Fabergé and his constant pursuit of excellence,” said Sarah Fabergé, Director of Special Projects and Founding Member of the Fabergé Heritage Council. “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, and I also look forward to hosting Regent guests onboard Seven Seas Grandeur for my exclusive Spotlight Voyage in 2024”.
As part of our partnership with Regent, Sarah will wear bespoke earrings and a ring specifically designed for the upcoming Christening event. These exquisite pieces, made of 18k white gold and featuring blue guilloché enamel, white diamonds and pearls, will not only grace Sarah as an ensemble during this event but will also be auctioned to raise money for charity in 2024. The proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Gemfields Foundation. The foundation is dedicated to undertaking various activations designed to address poverty alleviation in communities and wildlife conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. Notably, the charity's impactful projects span countries which Regent visits, such as Madagascar and Mozambique.
As part of our collaboration with Regent, we previously announced the commission of 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 on the open seas, proudly serving as the crowning jewel within the ship's awe-inspiring multi-million-dollar art collection.
Additionally, Sarah will host a Fabergé Spotlight Voyage on board Seven Seas Grandeur, sailing July 1, 2024, enveloping luxury travellers into the world of Fabergé with small group master-class programmes, exclusive access to unique and intimate shore-side tours, jewelled egg demonstrations and fascinating lectures and screenings. The 10-night sailing will depart from Rome (Civitavecchia) and cruise the Mediterranean, calling in Salerno, Italy; Taormina (Sicily), Italy; Valletta, Malta; Palma de Mallorca; Barcelona, Spain; Provence (Marseille), and Antibes, France before ending at Monte Carlo.
Following the gala event, guests on board Seven Seas Grandeur will enjoy a three-night Caribbean sailing with everything the ship that embodies 30 years of unrivalled experiences has to offer, from unrivalled space in luxuriously appointed suites to unparalleled service in bars and lounges, to epicurean perfection in five exquisite gourmet restaurants, to unlimited, included and immersive shore excursions.
