Miami, March 17 Pop singer Katy Perry will be the godmother of Prima, the new cruise ship of the Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), and will depart on her maiden voyage next August, as the Miami-based company reported Thursday. Katy Perry, one of the jurors of the popular TV competition “American Idol”, will perform the traditional duties of godmother of the sea and attend the “baptism” of the ship in Reykjavik, the Icelandic capital. According to the statement, the singer will perform at the event, when Prima, the largest baptized ship in the Icelandic capital, will officially receive his name. “I love being able to name it in a good mood and I am very excited about this new and beautiful high-tech boat capable of sailing on the sea and offering a unique vacation to many families,” the artist said. Perry added that his favorite family vacation was “on the water.” “When I wake up every morning, I can enjoy new and amazing views.” Harry Sommer, president and CEO of the Norwegian Cruise Line, said he was “very pleased” that the company was named “a unique artist and a global sensation as the godmother of the Norwegian Prima.” “We are very proud to be part of the Norwegian cruise family and look forward to launching a beautiful and innovative ship in August,” he said. With a capacity of 142,500 tons and a capacity of 3,250 passengers, the prima is the first vessel in six new class series already ordered by the NLC from the Italian shipyard Fincantieri. Initially, they will sail through Europe, then later this year they will move to the United States to sail across the Caribbean from ports in Florida and Texas. One of the hallmarks of the prima is the presence of a three-story runway for the largest cart on a cruise ship.
