Blazon

Or a lozenge Purpure charged with an orb of the first.
(Glossary of Heraldic Terms)

Significance

The ship's name derives from its location as the literal translation of the Latin 'regina' is 'queen.' The colours purple and gold proclaim association with royalty. The lozenge or diamond is the shape of shield used by an heiress, and the orb denotes regal authority.
