Posted on 07/15/2016

Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco, cut a red velvet ribbon sending a bottle of champagne smashing against the ship’s hull to officially christen the newest member of the Regent Seven Seas Cruises fleet, Seven Seas Explorer.

Frank Del Rio, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings president and chief executive officer said, “We have already begun a massive $125 million refurbishment effort to ensure every ship in our fleet matches the luxury standard found on Explorer, and will introduce a sister-ship in 2020.”
During his remarks, Del Rio reflected upon the humanitarian efforts undertaken by Princess Charlene on behalf of the Monaco Foundation.
The Foundation’s mission is to save lives by teaching children as well as adults, basic water safety techniques.“It is an honor to be the Godmother of this magnificent ship, Seven Seas Explorer.
"I am also thrilled by the discussions taking place between my Foundation and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings to implement my Water Safety programme on all their ships. Developing awareness of the risks attached to aquatic environments is, for me, a cause of most importance,” said Princess Charlene.
