Riviera Travel has launched a competition for two travel agents to be given the title of Godmother to the company’s two new 5-star river cruise ships, the MS Thomas Hardy and the MS Emily Brontë.

The Godmothers will be flown out to the christening ceremony of the two ships in the Netherlands to carry out the tradition of smashing champagne bottles against the ships’ hulls, before having a three-course meal and entertainment on board.

The Thomas Hardy and Emily Brontë will accommodate up to 169 passengers with 44 in-house trained staff.
“Despite having over 30 years of award-winning experience in the industry, this is in fact the first time we have officially christened our river cruise ships and given them their all-important Godmothers,” said Ben Hitchcock, marketing director at Riviera Travel. “Our travel agents are such a vital part of our business that we felt it was only right to honour them by making them the ships’ first Godmothers.”

Travel agents can enter the competition by answering the question: “Which is the third new river cruise ship to be announced for this year by Riviera Travel, in addition to the Thomas Hardy and the Emily Brontë?”

Entries should be e-mailed to [email protected].
