Carnival Cruise Line has announced music star Gwen Stefani as godmother of its new ship Carnival Jubilee.
Ms Stefani – known both for her work as a solo artist and with genre-bending rock band No Doubt – will name the new ship at the naming ceremony in Galveston, Texas on February 24.
Carnival Jubilee will hold 6,500 passengers and 1,750 crew. The LNG-powered ship is the third in Carnival’s Excel class.
“We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Gwen Stefani onto Carnival Jubilee so we can honour her as the ship’s godmother,” said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line.
“She has demonstrated her commitment to our Carnival values, including promoting diversity and inclusion, supporting charitable causes, being a leader in her field, and of course, having fun. We are going to show her an enthusiastic welcome in only the way Carnival can when she joins us on February 24.”
