Dame Helen Mirren Christens Scenic Eclipse Cruise Ship
In a bright ceremony on an overcast day, godmother Helen Mirren christened Scenic Eclipse, a new luxury expedition vessel from Scenic. In front of cruise line executives, passengers, journalists and other VIPs at Manhattan Cruise Terminal, where the ship was docked alongside Pier 88, the actress spoke passionately about what it meant to be named godmother before reciting the traditional blessing: “May God bless this ship and all who sail on her.” (cruisecritic.co.uk)
