Kelly Clarkson is announced godmother to Norwegian Encore

Norwegian Cruise Line has announced on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show' that Kelly Clarkson will serve as the godmother to its newest ship, Norwegian Encore, debuting in Miami in November.

Andy Stuart, the cruise line?s president and chief executive officer, appeared on Clarkson?s show to invite the Grammy award winning artist to join as godmother to Norwegian Encore.

As godmother, she will perform at the christening ceremony in Miami on November 21. She will bless and officially name the ship.

Andy Stuart said: ?We knew we wanted someone who represents our core values.

?Kelly is a role model who is passionate about family and community, as well as music and entertainment.  These are our passions too! We are honoured to have her join our family of godparents and look forward to celebrating Norwegian Encore?s debut in Miami with her, this November.?

To celebrate her new title as godmother, Clarkson and the cruise line recognised and awarded 20 deserving music educators on the show with a seven-day cruise.

Kelly Clarkson said: ?I am so honoured to be named the godmother to Norwegian Encore, and to get to be a part of such a special ceremony to christen the new ship in Miami.

?I believe that surrounding yourself with the ones you love and taking time for them is important while having the most amazing and unforgettable vacation, which is what Norwegian Cruise Line stands for and provides for its guests.?

Norwegian Encore will feature the world?s longest race track at sea at 1,100 feet with four high-speed curves extending up to 13 feet over the side of the ship; the largest outdoor laser tag arena at nearly 10,000 square feet with the addition of augmented reality elements; and new immersive escape room and interactive theatre experiences in the 10,000-square-foot Galaxy Pavilion.

It will debut a new elevated Italian dining experience, Onda by Scarpetta, in collaboration with LDV Hospitality. The musical 'Kinky Boots' will headline the entertainment onboard, with returning guest favourites 'The Choir of Man', 'Happy Hour Prohibition: The Musical' and Beatles cover band of The Cavern Club.

Launching this fall, the new ship will offer seven-day voyages to the Eastern Caribbean from Miami beginning November 24; Bermuda, and Canada and New England itineraries from New York City beginning April 22, 2020; voyages to the Western Caribbean from Miami beginning December 12, 2020; and in the spring of 2021 will make her West Coast debut and sail to Alaska from Seattle.
