Royal Navy diver to assist with cruise ship naming
A Royal Navy diver will assist singer Myleen Klass with the naming of new ship Carnival Splendor next week in Dover.
A deep sea marine diver will be involved in the ceremony to mark the introduction of the 113,000-tonne vessel on July 10.
He will emerge from underwater and climb 60ft to reach the ship’s name on the top of its bow.
He will undertake the godmother’s command and smash against the hull a bottle of vintage Nyetimber English sparkling wine, chosen by Carnival to emphasise its selection of Britain to launch its largest superliner.
Immediately after the naming, Carnival Splendor sets sail for a three day preview cruise to Amsterdam, returning to Dover on July 13.
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.
