Soprano named as godmother to Crystal’s newest ship

Friday, 15 Aug, 2017 0

Crystal River Cruises has named soprano vocalist Anna-Maria Kaufmann as godmother of Crystal Bach.

The newly-built ‘Rhine Class’ river ship embarked on her maiden voyage from Amsterdam on Sunday and will be christened by Kaufmann during her call to Ruedesheim in Germany on August 20.

Kaufmann will bless the ship during the christening ceremony and serenade her and attending guests with a performance of Johann Sebastian Bach’s ‘Air’.

"It is an honour to have one of Germany’s most gifted and cherished talents christen Crystal Bach as she officially embarks on the Rhine as part of the award-winning Crystal fleet," said Crystal CEO and president Edie Rodriguez.

"Naturally, Anna-Maria’s remarkable career in classical music and passion for her chosen homeland are befitting for this stunning ship but, beyond that, her grace and internationally recognisable charm are representative of the elegance found aboard a Crystal river voyage."
