VOYAGES OF ART
While we usually cast our eyes to Europe
when we think about classic artistic
encounters, Regent Seven Seas Cruises
suggests you look south. Their luxurious
fleet sails a number of voyages to South
America, and the cruise company notes
that its ships will transport you from
coast to canvas. In Mexico, see the
murals of renowned artist Diego Rivera
and the surrealism of Frida Kahlo. In
Chile, the abstract pieces by the expres-
sionist Roberto Matta tickle the
imagination; while in Brazil, you can
view sculptures of the human body by
the late great Brazilian artist, Tunga.
Check Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ web-
site for a number of tools to tailor your
voyage to your interests.

DREAMSCAPES WINTER 2024/2025
of a steakhouse known as Prime 7, on Deck 10. A
worthy accompaniment to a big, thick steak
paired, perhaps, with a bold bottle of Tempranillo.
It’s the juxtaposition of scale, on one hand, and
intricate hand-woven work, on the other, that truly
impresses with “The Enchanted Tree.” Created by
Brazilian artist Walter Goldfarb, the sculpture
unfurls almost 12 metres in the atrium, on Deck 6.
There’s also a Bonsai Cherry Tree, a bronze sculp-
ture with pink glass flowers. In the Serene Spa and
Wellness on Deck 5, sitting rather soothingly, find
“Water in Dripping-Waterfall,” by Chinese artist
Zheng Lu.
But the jewel in the crown is absolutely the
“Journey in Jewels.” One of only roughly 50 Fabergé
eggs in existence, this one-of-a-kind
work took artisans some two years
to create. Sitting proudly in the
lobby, it is the only Fabergé egg
permanently residing at sea. Appro-
priately enough, seven waves of
blue jewels evoke the seven seas.
With, of course, a luxurious
finishing touch—the splash and
crash of pearls.
Sarah Fabergé, great-granddaughter
of Peter Carl Fabergé—who once
wowed the Royal courts of Europe
with his work—is Regent Grandeur’s
godmother. She’ll bring the artwork
to life on board, through private
masterclasses and related shore
excursions.
Perhaps the best part? You can
enjoy everything at your own pace.
Consider one of those long, lazy sea
days that we all love so much. Sit by
the pool and download the Regent
Mobile App for details on a self-
guided art experience tour.
