Regent Seven Seas Cruises has partnered with jewellery company Faberge to create a "first-of-its-kind treasure" for the line’s latest ship, Seven Seas Grandeur, which is set to debut in November 2023.
The companies have unveiled a design for a hand-crafted Faberge x Regent Seven Seas Cruises Egg Objet to feature in the ship’s new art collection, becoming the first of its kind to reside permanently at sea.
This partnership further extends to the creation of two exclusive Spotlight Voyages, which will offer guests exclusive access to Faberge experiences and experts onboard.
The objet, titled Journey in Jewels, will become part of a multimillion-dollar curated art collection which will debut on Seven Seas Grandeur. It will not be available for sale and will only be on display to guests onboard the vessel.
"With each new ship we want the journey itself to provide opportunities for discovery and enrichment as much as the destinations along the way,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer for Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
"Likewise, each Faberge objet has a different story to tell, and we knew that our very own Faberge x Regent Egg could become the type of awe-inspiring piece that would captivate and inspire our guests throughout their voyage with us."
The outer egg shell is composed of seven blades, representing the seven seas, which will unfurl to reveal a surprise hidden inside, details of which are being kept under wraps until Seven Seas Grandeur is christened in 2023.
It will stand at approximately 18cm tall, with a three-tiered base which hides the movement of the egg’s opening mechanism – the first time that Faberge has hidden the movement in this way.
