Regent Seven Seas Cruises has chosen famed actress and successful entrepreneur Christie Brinkley as godmother to Seven Seas Splendor. She will christen the ship with 542 crew caring for 750 guests in Miami on February 21, 2020.
A centuries-old maritime tradition, a ship’s godmother christens the vessel and is responsible for bestowing good luck over the ship and to all guests and crew who sail her. “Christie Brinkley is a universally beloved icon who is synonymous worldwide for her beauty, style and commitment to health and happiness,” said Jason Montague, president and chief executive officer of Regent Seven Seas Cruises.
“As a woman who strives to inspire other females to achieve their career and personal aspirations, I’m especially proud to be godmother of the first new cruise ship in maritime history to be captained by a female, the trailblazing Captain Serena Melani,” Brinkley said.
“We learn best about the beautiful world around us by exploring new cities, immersing ourselves in different cultures and interacting with the gracious people who live there,” Brinkley says. “We cherish and remember these moments more when we experience them with the people we love. The absolute most invigorating and luxurious way to travel the world is by cruising the seas.”
The all-suite ship with some of the largest balconies on any ship features accommodations ranging from 307 square-foot Veranda Suites to the lavish 4,443 square-foot Regent Suite. In her inaugural 2020 season, Seven Seas Splendor will sail the Caribbean and Mediterranean.
