A year of celebration that also includes the arrival of its sixth ship, Seven Seas Grandeur, a complete, unique and special luxury experience thanks to its spaciousness, exquisite gastronomy, attention to detail, and a lot of artwork on board.
The ship has a capacity for 746 passengers, boasting one of the highest staff-to-passenger ratios in the industry. Its ideal size allows access to ports inaccessible to larger vessels. Built with the latest environmental protection technologies, the interiors are exceptionally sophisticated, with every detail carefully considered to enhance the guest experience.
Designed by Studio DADO, it will provide its guests with refined style as well as unparalleled elegance, with 15 different accommodation categories, from spacious suites with dressing rooms, private terraces or marble bathrooms with bathtubs to butler services.
It also stands out for its onboard gastronomic offering, with more than 130 new dishes and perfected recipes for its 7 specialty restaurants: Compass Rose, Chartreuse, Pacific Rim, the Sette Mari, La Veranda, Pool Grill and Coffee Connection.
Fabergé.
But the art doesn't end with the exquisite cuisine. More than 1,600 works of art will surround passengers, further enhancing the sophisticated atmosphere. Several Picassos, a nearly 12-meter-high handwoven tapestry hanging from the elevator shaft wall in the ship's luxurious atrium, and the majestic custom-made bonsai cherry tree sculpture in bronze and hand-cast glass by Savoy Studios are just some of the pieces on display, not forgetting its centerpiece, Journey in Jewels, the first Fabergé egg to reside permanently on a ship. It will be complemented by a collection of sculptures, original paintings, photographs, and many more works by artists from around the world.

The luxury experience offered by traveling on the Seven Seas Grandeur includes every imaginable luxury amenity, from incredible dining at no extra charge, to unlimited drinks, gratuities, laundry service, unlimited Wi-Fi, and unlimited complimentary shore excursions to discover the history, culture, and cuisine of the ports of call. The elegant pool deck, pilates and yoga classes, among other sports activities, the spa, live stage productions, the casino, and the dance floor are just some of the other attractions on offer.
Inaugural Season
