DIAMOND PRINCESS godmother named!
Yoshiko Tsukuda will name DIAMOND PRINCESS on February 26. The choice is
certainly not as exciting as previous Princess godmothers, which have included Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, and Margaret Thatcher. Ernie From Seatrade Insider: ================ Mitsubishi chief's wife to name Diamond Princess 16/2/2004 Yoshiko Tsukuda, whose husband is Kazuo Tsukuda, the president of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, will serve as the godmother of the new Diamond Princess. The ship's Feb. 26 naming ceremony in Nagasaki will take place at a downtown pier directly across the bay from the Mitsubishi yard where Diamond Princess was built and will feature traditional Japanese elements including dance, music and dress. Peter Ratcliffe, ceo of Princess Cruises, said the ceremony 'will launch Diamond Princess in unique style, and will also celebrate the value we place on our relationship with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.' A high-profile event in Japan, the naming is expected to attract significant media attention. In addition to Ratcliffe, the festivities will be attended by other senior Princess executives as well as Carnival Corp. officials including chairman Micky Arison. On Feb. 27, the Diamond Princess will depart for Los Angeles, where it will debut March 13 with cruises to the Mexican Riviera. |
