P&O Cruise’s Ventura has officially been named by award-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren on April 16th. She was joined onboard by 1,500 guests including celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, Kate Ford and Hugh Bonneville.
Dame Helen Mirren was over the moon to be fronting the spectacular ceremony and said:
“It is the first time I have ever named a ship, let alone one of the size of P&O Cruises Ventura and am really looking forward to being Godmother.”
P&O Cruise’s managing director was just as pleased to have Dame Helen Mirren onboard as she was to be there. P&O cruises managing director, Nigel Esdale said:
“Dame Helen Mirren embodies glamour, vitality and Britishness, which are all values that will be a feature of Ventura. We are honoured that she has agreed to become Godmother. The arrival of Ventura is set to usher in a new era for the British cruise industry and will accelerate the rate of progress of an already fast growing market. We are delighted that Dame Helen is to be associated with her. At the same time, we are determined to get the bottle-smashing right, and are grateful for the military coordinated assistance of the Royal Marines.”
Ventura is due to cruise to the Mediterranean on Friday on her maiden cruise.
