and Page Turner Christen Princess Cruises' Newest Ship In
Traditional Maritime Naming Ceremony
SANTA
CLARITA, Calif., April 29,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In an imaginative ceremony today
at the Port of Los Angeles,
television stars and show hosts united as godparents and officially
named Discovery Princess. The godparents included fashion designer
Randy Fenoli, chef Alex Guarnaschelli, special effects designer and
fabricator Adam Savage, and real
estate broker and flipper extraordinaire Page Turner.
Standing together at the Retreat Pool on the open deck of
Discovery Princess with the ship's Captain Gennaro Arma, they pronounced, "We name this
ship Discovery Princess. May God bless her and all who sail on
her." They then sent a giant Nebuchadnezzar-size bottle of
champagne against the ship for the celebratory smash, officially
welcoming Discovery Princess into the fleet of Princess
Cruises, the world's leading international cruise line and leader
on the west coast.
The "Discover Our World" themed ceremony blended maritime
tradition with contemporary elements, celebrating the cruise line's
exclusive, seven-year Discovery at SEA™ program – bringing the
spirit of curiosity and exploration to every cruise through branded
experiences like Shark Week at Sea, exclusive shore excursions and
onboard activities such as the Camp Discovery youth centers and
Stargazing at SEA.
"Today is a celebration to remember as our newest ship,
Discovery Princess, is officially named by this talented group of
experts and personalities – Randy, Alex, Adam, and Page," said
John Padgett, Princess Cruises
president. "We can think of no more fitting godparents to mark this
significant milestone."
