GAIA Gaja has been named the godmother of Silversea’s upcoming luxury ship Silver Moon, with a special naming ceremony set to take place in Trieste, Italy on 05 Aug, 2020.
The manager of the family-owned Gaja winery located in the small Italian town of Barbaresco, Gaja was selected by the line as a result of the company’s international reputation as a producer of fine Italian wines.
Silversea has also positioned itself as a culinary-focused cruise brand, a fusion that Gaja believes works well for cruising, stating that “food and drink facilitate profound discovery”.
“I feel great pride and honour to have been selected by Silversea Cruises as the godmother of the beautiful Silver Moon,” she said.
“My own experience with wine-making has taught me that culinary discovery possesses limitless potential; here’s to the curious travellers who seek to unlock it,” Gaja added.
Silversea’s Executive Chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio said Gaja was a great choice to honour the ship’s Italian history.
“Given this culinary focus and Moon’s proud Italian heritage, I can’t think of a better godmother than Gaia Gaja who personifies Italian elegance, innovation and good taste,” he said.
The ship’s maiden voyage between Trieste and Rome is scheduled to depart 06 Aug.
