At the launch event, Malala boarded the ship along with her friends to get to experience the wonderful joyous ride first-hand.
I am so grateful to Celebrity Cruises for their generous support and investment in the potential of girls everywhere – Malala Yousafzai
She added:
I’m fighting to ensure millions of girls stuck in situations of poverty or war that they didn’t create can learn what they need to choose a future for themselves. But to continue making progress for girls’ education, we need support from leaders in every sector
Andra Day gave a moving performance with ‘Rise Up’ as a tribute to Malala and all those who have struggled to be where they are by fighting and breaking norms and shackles.
We are honoured that Malala agreed to be the godmother of this ship, a role that reflects centuries of maritime traditions – Richard D. Fain, Chairman and CEO of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd, Celebrity Cruises’ parent company
She added:
We are especially proud because Malala’s example of relentless persistence and achievement is an inspiration to our crew, who have all worked so hard and made real sacrifices to build better lives for themselves and their families.
While aboard, Malala blessed the ship following tradition and “and all those who sail upon her” with a bespoke 18-litre bottle of Badoit French mineral water.
We wish Celebrity Cruises and Malala Yousafzai all the best for their future endeavours.
