Lin Arison, the wife of Carnival Cruise Lines late founder Ted Arison, is to become the godmother of Carnival Sunshine.
The vessel, which is currently undergoing a renovation from its previous incarnation at Carnival Destiny, is to be renamed at a ceremony on 17 November in New Orleans.
The cost of the refurbishment is estimated to around US$100 million.
“Carnival Sunshine’s transformation was nothing short of spectacular and we wanted someone as special as Lin, who has a deep connection with Carnival Cruise Lines, to serve as godmother,” said Gerry Cahill, Carnival president and CEO. “Providing families with a memorable vacation experience is at the heart of our success and Lin’s passion for fostering the artistic development of youth through her charitable endeavors made her the perfect choice.”
Arison has been godmother to a total of three Carnival ships – more than any other person in the company’s history – including the original Carnival Destiny, the company’s first ever ship Mardi Gras and the Holiday.
Arison said: “Carnival Sunshine holds a special place in my heart, and I am honored to serve as godmother.”
