Carnival Cruise Line has selected three-time Grammy Award winner Gwen Stefani as the godmother of its new flagship Carnival Jubilee. The naming ceremony will be held in Galveston, Texas on February 24.
Stefani has achieved global success as a songwriter, performer, charismatic frontwoman of No Doubt, and as a multi-platinum solo artist. Throughout it all, Stefani has remained a trend-setting music and fashion icon with an impressive array of honours – four MTV Video Music Awards, two Billboard Awards, an American Music Award, and a Brit Award.
Stefani also returned for a seventh season as a coach on the Emmy-winning NBC series The Voice this past fall.

"We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Gwen Stefani onto Carnival Jubilee so we can honour her as the ship's godmother," said CCL president Christine Duffy.
"She has demonstrated her commitment to our Carnival values, including promoting diversity and inclusion, supporting charitable causes, being a leader in her field, and of course, having fun. We are going to show her an enthusiastic welcome in only the way Carnival can when she joins us on February 24."
"I am honoured to be the godmother of the new Carnival Jubilee," said Stefani. "Carnival is taking it to the next level of fun while being committed to children's causes and supporting our military families and veterans."
