Twiggy is to be the Godmother of Seabourn Sojourn followed by a fundraising gala event to celebrate the Breast Cancer Haven charity’s 10th anniversary.
The Yachts of Seabourn vessel will be named in London on June 4 with the charity event being held on board the following night.
Following an early morning transit of the River Thames, Sojourn will position mid-river at Greenwich for two days of inaugural celebrations before sailing on its 14-night maiden voyage on June 6.
The 450-passenger Seabourn Sojourn is the second of the three new vessels to be launched by the Yachts of Seabourn over three years.
The vessel will run a series of 12- to 14-day voyages of Scandinavia, Russia and the Baltic throughout the summer.
Yachts of Seabourn president and CEO Pam Conover said: “Seabourn enjoys a truly international clientele and welcomes a significant number of new and repeat British guests on nearly every sailing.
“As such, it is entirely appropriate that we should choose London to introduce our beautiful new vessel to the world.
"We are all very much looking forward to welcoming Twiggy on board Seabourn Sojourn on June 4. She is the perfect choice to name our beautiful new yacht in London.”
