Silversea Silver Spirit launches live webcast of Christening Ceremony

Silversea Cruises’ magnificent new flagship, Silver Spirit, sailed into Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale January 19th, 2010.

Silver Spirit completed her maiden crossing of the Atlantic, a 16-day voyage which began in Lisbon on 3 January.   Before Silver Spirit takes her cruise guests on a 9-night Eastern Caribbean cruise, members of the media and cruise industry VIP’s are invited to several inaugural parties to celebrate the milestone.

However, don’t despair if you are not able to attend the events.

The cruising public is invited to participate in all the activities surrounding the inaugural activities in Fort Lauderdale.  Please join Silversea Cruises at the Silver Spirit Blog Thursday, 21 January, at 10:00 a.m. US East Coast time to watch live streaming video of the invitation-only Christening Ceremony.

The is a time-honored tradition, and it the Silver Spirit Godmother Silvia Lefebvre D’Ovidio, the sister of Silversea Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre D’Ovidio, will christen the ship with a balthazar of Moët & Chandon (the equivalent of 16 bottles).

Should be a fun event and a first for me to attend the virtual ceremony from Los Angeles.  Let me know if you have any questions about getting onbooad the ship.
