Klasse act planned for Splendor naming
Myleene Klass is to name Carnival Splendor at a ceremony in Dover next month.
The musician, singer and presenter will become godmother of the 4,914-passenger ship, the first Carnival vessel to be named in the UK.
Following the ceremony on July 10, 113,000-tonne Splendor will become the largest passenger ship to sail from the Kent port.
The vessel will sail on a three-day mini preview cruise to Amsterdam, returning to Dover on July 13, when it will depart on the same day for its official inaugural 12-day cruise to the Baltic countries, visiting Copenhagen, Warnemunde (for Berlin), Helsinki, St Petersburg, Tallinn and Amsterdam.
Carnival Cruise Lines president and CEO Gerry Cahill said: “Myleene is the perfect Godmother to name Carnival Splendor, with her many talents complementing the many features on the ship, which is already attracting a broad passenger base – from families to couples to groups of friends – all with a common desire to enjoy a fun, casual and memorable vacation.
“The British cruising market is growing fast, with over 1.3 million taking cruises from the UK last year, and this is why we have chosen Britain for our inaugural summer season for Carnival Splendor.
“For UK customers, the Carnival Splendor has just about everything on board except, we appreciate, a ‘u’.â€
