| Celebrity Eclipse | The new Celebrity Eclipse arrived on her first visit to Southampton today 20th April. Emma Pontin, an inspirational UK-based yachtswoman, is to serve as Godmother of Celebrity Eclipse, the third in a series of five Solstice Class ships. Pontin will name the ship in Southampton during the ship’s formal naming ceremony April 24th. This will conclude with the smashing of a magnum of champagne, custom-made by The Corning Museum of Glass. She will depart for Bilbao this evening to rescue about 2,000 British tourists stranded by the volcanic ash cloud. Its owner, Royal Caribbean, has put a two-day launch cruise starting Thursday on hold and due to arrive back in Southampton from Spain on Friday. The naming celebrations will go ahead as planned. | |
