The Yachts of Seabourn will name the Seabourn Odyssey at sunset on June 24 in Venice, Italy. While naming ceremonies typically invite attendees to watch from shore as a godparent names the vessel and breaks a bottle on its bow, the anointment of Seabourn Odyssey will be held on board with guests booked on the maiden voyage. Collectively, all of the guests will act as godparents, initiating the anointment with a bottle of Italian prosecco and giving the yacht its name. Each will receive a commemorative certificate from the event, and their names will be affixed to a plaque to be displayed on board.
Guests arriving at Stazione Marittima terminal will be given a red carpet welcome with musicians, banners and garland. Then Seabourn Odyssey will cruise down the Guidecca Canal to Riva dei Sette Martiri, a docking location near the Piazza San Marco, where it will be moored for the ceremony. An early dinner will be served before the ceremony. Though many details of the ceremony are being kept quiet, Seabourn has revealed that a magnum of sparkling prosecco spumante will be used to anoint Odyssey.
