Enchanting decor
Seven Seas Society guests on Grandeur will feel a sense of comforting familiarity amid cleverly reimagined interiors. Signature restaurants like Compass Rose, Chartreuse and Prime 7 have all been redesigned. So too have the 15 categories of all-suite accommodation.
Genuine Fabergé Egg
What’s more, Seven Seas Grandeur will boast the first Fabergé Egg to permanently reside at sea. Each Fabergé Egg has a name, and this one is known as “Journey in Jewels”. The Egg has an outer shell made from seven intricate ‘blades’ enamelled in tones of blue, representing the seven seas. Just like a wave, each blade breaks into a sea foam of pearls and white diamonds. “Journey in Jewels” is sure to be the most captivating item in Seven Seas Grandeur’s 1,600 piece art collection.
Following the gala christening, Seven Seas Grandeur embarked on a short 3-night Caribbean voyage. After which the vessel sails a 7-night round-trip between Miami and Mexico.
