American model, actress and entrepreneur Christie Brinkley is to serve as godmother to Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ new Seven Seas Splendor, christening the vessel in Miami, Florida on 21 February 2020.
“The absolute most invigorating and luxurious way to travel the world is by cruising the seas,” said Brinkley. “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.”
Seven Seas Splendor will be the fifth ship to enter the cruise line’s fleet and is currently under construction at Fincantieri’s shipyard in Ancona, Italy. She will have capacity for 750 guests accommodated in 375 suites, including the 4,443 square-foot Regent suite.
“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 CEO of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. “We are deeply honoured that Christie will christen our newest ship and delighted to welcome her to the Regent Seven Seas Cruises family.”
