Princess Cruises christen newest ship Ruby Princess

Princess Cruises newest ship, Ruby Princess, was named with an incredible ‘ruby red’ themed ceremony on Thursday in Fort Lauderdale. America’s reigning reality couple, Trista and Ryan Sutter of the hit US series ‘The Bacherlorette’ did the honors, breaking the bottle of champagne to mark the ship’s launch and celebrating their own fifth wedding anniversary.

The ceremony had a romantic theme and the new godparents of Ruby Princess were surrounded by hundreds of guests wearing ruby red-tie formal attire and a ruby-haired singer serenaded the crowd. The official naming was followed by the ultimate romantic celebration – a wedding in the midst of the festivities. The Californian couple joined in matrimony not only had Trista and Ryan as wedding attendants, but the Love Boat captain himself, Gavin MacLeod, gave away the bride.

In the evening, Princess Cruises hosted a ‘Ruby Red Tie’ gala and set sail on a two night cruise for VIP guests, who will all have the opportunity of renewing their wedding vows whilst the ship is at sea. Ruby Princess is set to return to Port Everglades for her inaugural seven night sailing to the Western Caribbean.
