Television stars and stage hosts will unite as godparents to officially name the newest Princess Cruises ship, Discovery Princess.

Fashion designer Randy Fenoli, chef Alex Guarnaschelli, special effects designer and fabricator Adam Savage, and real estate broker and flipper Page Turner will all perform the maritime ceremony tradition at the Port of Los Angeles on April 29.

For the past seven years, Princess has offered the Discovery at SEA program in partnership with Discovery. It provides branded experiences like Shark Week at Sea, exclusive shore excursions, activities like Stargazing at SEA, and the Camp Discovery youth centers.

All four godparents are involved in TV shows on networks that are owned by Discovery.

“Bringing together these four experts and personalities to name Discovery Princess for the launch of our newest ship is an exciting moment for Princess,” said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president.

“Our impressive godparents, who represent the best in food, style, wonder and exploration, bring their imaginative and inspirational talents together to celebrate this momentous occasion. We look forward to exploring what we all can do together in the future.”
