Trafalgar has launched a contest for former guests to be named the godmother of its upcoming vessel, the Trafalgar Dreamer. The selected individual will christen the ship and participate in its maiden voyage through France.
Why it matters
This initiative offers a unique opportunity for loyal travelers to hold a ceremonial role usually reserved for celebrities. It also provides a direct incentive for travel agents to engage their clients in the brand's new expansion onto the Seine.
The Trafalgar Dreamer is scheduled to debut on the Seine river in April 2027. The vessel will navigate itineraries that include stops in Paris and Normandy.
