Once again the Port of Nice had the pleasure of hosting a ship christening. Such an exceptional event breathes always the best winds in the sails to launch a cruise ship, particularly a vessel named “STAR BREEZE “…
The luxury american cruise line “Windstar Cruises”, based in Seattle USA, which with the recent acquisition of 3 new vessels of the cruise line Seabourn Yacht Club has νος 6 vessels of small capacity (max 300 passengers), travels the world with stopovers atypical and intimacy, for a clientele to American majority. This is a cruise line very faithful to our French Riviera ports pursuing for several years with 21 calls planned in 2015 and 20 stopovers in 2016.
After getting a new beauty in Genoa, the new flagship was christened “STAR BREEZE” by the godmother Wendy Perrin (creator of the dedicated website Wendyperrin.com) during a special ceremony held on May 6th in the presence of Hans Birkholz the president of Windstar Cruises and the Captain of the ship.
Many international guests and journalists were able to savor this beautiful event lively, while enjoying a cocktail and a balloon release in the sky before the Star Breeze sailed for its inaugural cruise which started in Monaco.
