Royal Caribbean International and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor rang in the celebrations on Utopia of the Seas with a summer party in Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida.
As godmother of the new vessel, Trainor officially introduced Utopia in an official naming event on board with more than 4,000 partygoers, the legendary Rev Run and DJ Ruckus at the turntables, Royal Caribbean crew members and executives, and more, just days ahead of the ship’s debut on July 19.
The All That Bass star took centre stage on the iconic open-air AquaTheater to bestow safekeeping onto the ship, its dedicated crew and the millions who will celebrate on Utopia for years to come.
“Becoming Utopia’s godmother and being here for this incredible celebration with Royal Caribbean is a dream come true,” said Trainor. “From performing on a breath-taking stage while we’re in the middle of the ocean to having my fans here to sing and dance with me and experiencing it all with my family – Utopia really is the ultimate short getaway. I’m so honoured to be part of the memories so many will make here.”
