Multi-award-winning performer Nicole Scherzinger has been named Godmother to P&O Cruises’ newest ship Arvia.
The cruise line said in a statement that Scherzinger will create spectacular music and dance extravaganzas for P&O Cruises in an exclusive entertainment partnership.
The lead singer of one of the world’s biggest girl bands, The Pussycat Dolls, will also name P&O Cruises’ newest ship Arvia in a world-first beachside ceremony on March 16, 2023 in Barbados.
P&O Cruises President Paul Ludlow said: “It is an extraordinary privilege for us to work with someone
of Nicole’s talent and calibre.
“As a global superstar, Nicole is well placed to create contemporary and breath-taking late night shows which will be performed in SkyDome on our two newest ships Iona and Arvia.
“We could not be more thrilled that she has agreed to be Arvia’s “godmother” and will be with us on
March 16 when Arvia is officially named in the Caribbean.
The ceremony will be broadcast live and will include a performance from Olly Murs as well as Nicole’s striking show finale.
“Through her many appearances on some of the UK’s best-loved shows, Nicole has won the hearts of
the British public.
“She really is the epitome of zest for life and as a critically-acclaimed talent, she joins a line-up of world-famous godmothers and partners for P&O Cruises.
“Her involvement reflects everything which P&O Cruises stands for – a modern, forward-thinking holiday company which has always excelled in the levels of cutting-edge entertainment we provide.
“As part of the fabric of the iconic British theatrical and live music sector, with hundreds of performers
every year, we are always striving to set new standards for the quality of our on-board shows and this
association with Nicole takes that to another level.”
Nicole Scherzinger said: “This is an extraordinary and special opportunity for me to create a visual
and musical feast for people to immerse themselves in, with the sea as their backdrop, giving them
something to truly remember.
“I want to create an experience to remember for the audiences of Iona and Arvia and I am delighted to become part of the P&O Cruises family.
“I have always felt as though I am honorary Brit and to be asked to name Arvia in Barbados really is the icing on the cake and I cannot wait to perform my godmother duties in the most beautiful of Caribbean locations.”
Arvia’s naming ceremony will be broadcast live on YouTube on Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 7pm.
