GODMOTHER of Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Apex, lawyer Reshma Saujani, has led the ship’s traditional naming ceremony, which brought together more than 1,500 guests, employees, and crew members.
As Apex celebrates her inaugural United States season, Celebrity President & Chief Executive Officer Lisa Lutoff-Perlo and Royal Caribbean Group President & Chief Executive Officer Richard Fain joined Saujani for the ceremony.
The politician will serve as Godmother for Apex, which will offer the cruise line’s new onboard programming, which will include STEM courses as part of the Camp at Sea.
Celebrity will also collaborate with Saujani’s nonprofit organisation Girls Who Code to offer the program on both Apex and Edge, along with related experiential offerings and more.
While on board, children ages six-17 will be able to design and develop two modules based on basic computer science, and coding modules covering topics within the Marine Life and Bioluminescence fields.
Apex’s much-anticipated arrival to American ports is a landmark moment for Celebrity, with the vessel’s launch originally planned for Mar 2020.
Following a short run of Greek Island sailings this past northern summer, Apex now embarks from American shores for the first time on Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, where guests will visit Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Belize, Grand Caymans and more.
