Angela Rippon CBE to name CMV ship
Television presenter Angela Rippon CBE is to be godmother to the latest addition to Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ fleet.
She will name the ship, Columbus, at a Naming Ceremony at the London Cruise Terminal in Tilbury on June 8.
Rippon has presented several prime time programmes and currently presents Rip Off Britain, How To Stay Young, Health: Truth or Scare and Holding Back the Years.
"With a broadcast career of 50 years and counting, Angela Rippon CBE is one of the most recognisable British journalists around and was awarded a CBE for her contribution to charity work in the field of Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia,” said Chris Coates, CMV’s commercial director.
“We are all thrilled here at CMV that this lovely lady is going to be the godmother of Columbus and will be naming our new flagship which is also a new cruise ship for Britain. Columbus has an exciting year ahead as she sails to Cuba, Central America and the Caribbean and at the start of 2018 in true tradition of her name sake will set off round the world."
