Explora Journeys – MSC’s ultra-luxury cruise brand – has announced Rosalba Giugni will be godmother of its new EXPLORA II ship.
Rosalba Giugni is the founder and president of the Marevivo Foundation, a non-partisan environmental conservation organisation committed to the preservation of marine environments that was founded in 1985.
She will be officially named as EXPLORA II godmother at the ship’s official naming ceremony in Civitavecchia near Rome, on September 15.
Marevivo has since grown to more than 30,000 members and has become an important player in the Italian environmental sector.
Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman – Cruise Division, MSC Group, said: “We are honoured to have Rosalba Giugni as the godmother of Explora Journeys’ magnificent new luxury ship, symbolising the dedication of the MSC Group and our MSC Foundation to preserve the natural beauty of the oceans that are fundamental to our journeys around the world. Her commitment to marine conservation and the protection of the sea makes her an inspiration to us all. Rosalba`s passion for the sea extends to scientific dissemination and public advocacy, making her a fitting godmother for EXPLORA II.”
Rosalba Giugni, Founder and President of Marevivo added: “I am deeply honoured to be named the godmother of EXPLORA II. This role holds special significance for me, as it reflects our shared commitment to experiencing the world in a meaningful and respectful way. I am pleased to support Explora Journeys and the MSC Group in promoting and advancing a cultural shift towards greater protection of our precious marine ecosystem. Our future is tied to the health of the sea, and its wellbeing depends on the choices we make. The climate crisis is a clear warning: we are out of time. The ecological transition needs to begin now, tomorrow may already be too late.”
