MIAMI FL, April 6
Royal Caribbean International has named Margot Pritzker godmother of
the line's newest ship, ``Radiance of the Seas.'' The official naming
ceremony will take place at 5:30 p.m. today at Port Everglades.
Mrs. Pritzker is currently an active member of the Asian Art Committee
at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Women's Board of Trustees at
Northwestern University, as well as Chairman Emeritus of the Board of
Bernard Zell Anshe Emet Day School. Her endeavors in the field of art
history have taken her throughout Asia. Her exhaustive study of this
region and its artifacts has developed into one of the most acclaimed
Asian art collections in the United States. Mrs. Pritzker's other
interests include studying the Judaic text and gardening. Wife of
Thomas J. Pritzker, chairman of the Hyatt Corporation and a member of
Royal Caribbean's Board of Directors, Mrs. Pritzker joins a
distinguished group of godmothers for Royal Caribbean International's
fleet.
``It is fitting that Mrs. Pritzker is godmother for a ship with an
extraordinary art collection, including paintings, sculptures and
other art forms from more than 100 artists from around the world,''
said Richard Fain, chairman and CEO, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
``Radiance of the Seas'' sets sail on her maiden Panama Canal voyage
on April 7. Representing an evolution of Royal Caribbean's signature
elements, ``Radiance of the Seas'' features the first billiard tables
at sea, a yacht-like design, an abundance of glass, and the cruise
industry's newest technology for protecting the environment.
Royal Caribbean International is a global cruise brand with 14 ships
in service and six under construction or on firm order. For additional
