AVALON Waterways will seek another
Australian godmother next year when its fifth
‘Suite Ship’, Avalon Artistry II, is christened in
Europe.
MD Stewart Williams said this year’s
newbuilds, Avalon Visionary and Vista, will
have Canadian and American godmothers, but
it’s Australia’s turn again in 2013.
He said that using Channel 9 Today Show
host Lisa Wilkinson as godmother of the
Avalon Panorama last year had been a huge

publicity for the cruise line.
Williams wouldn’t be drawn on potential
godmothers for Artistry II, but revealed that in
the past Avalon had considered Aussie movie
icon Cate Blanchett as a possibility.
