An official naming ceremony was held on July 29 in the historic port of Southampton, UK, for Celebrity Cruises' newest ship, 'Celebrity Equinox'.
In what is believed to be an industry first, Celebrity Cruises invited sister ship 'Celebrity Solstice's' godmother Sharon Smith to participate. Ms Smith joined the ship's godmother, Nina Barough, CBE and founder of the breast cancer charity, Walk the Walk. Both women cut the ribbon, which was symbolically in pink in recognition of breast cancer causes, of which Ms Barough supports.
The 'Celebrity Equinox; enters service on July 31 from Southampton.
