Jay Leno named as Carnival Cruise Line’s first ‘godfather’
Carnival Cruise Line has announced its first ever cruise ship godfather.
Talk show host and comic, Jay Leno will bless Carnival Venezia next week as it enters service from New York City.
The ship is the first to incorporate the “Carnival Fun Italian Style” with its Italian design and theming.
Leno will also perform a special comedy show.
Carnival Venezia previous incarnation was as a Costa Cruises ship in 2019, and already has a godmother.
“With Carnival Venezia joining the fleet we decided having a godfather would be both fun and appropriate,” said CCL President Christine Duffy.
“We thought of someone who would make a fun godfather with Italian heritage.”
“I am truly honored to be named the godfather of Carnival Venezia. It was an offer I couldn’t refuse,” said Leno.
Leno currently produces and is host of the CNBC primetime series Jay Leno’s Garage, now in its seventh season.
Carnival Venezia celebrates Venice, Italy, and has many spaces on board that are reminiscent of the city.
There is a Venice-inspired atrium Piazza San Marco, and Marco Polo and Canal Grande Restaurants, along with the new Italian specialty restaurant, “Il Viaggio.”
Carnival Playlist Productions shows entertain guests at the Teatro Rosso theater.
Carnival Venezia will begin sailing from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on June 15, 2023.
The ship accommodates more than 5,000 guests and will offer 10 different cruise durations and 22 unique itineraries.
Carnival Venezia’s celebratory event will be livestreamed.
