Speaking about her new role, Nicole Scherzinger said: “This is an extraordinary and special opportunity for me to create a visual and musical feast for people to immerse themselves in, with the sea as their backdrop, giving them something to truly remember. I want to create an experience to remember for the audiences of Iona and Arvia and I am delighted to become part of the P&O Cruises family.

“I have always felt as though I am an honorary Brit and to be asked to name Arvia in Barbados really is the icing on the cake and I cannot wait to perform my godmother duties in the most beautiful of Caribbean locations.”

Commenting on the announcement P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: "We could not be more thrilled that she has agreed to be Arvia’s godmother and will be with us on 16 March when Arvia is officially named in the Caribbean. The ceremony will be broadcast live [via YouTube] and will include a performance from Olly Murs as well as Nicole’s striking show finale.

"It's an extraordinary privilege for us to work with someone of Nicole’s talent and calibre. As a global superstar, Nicole is well placed to create contemporary and late-night shows that will be performed in SkyDome on our two newest ships Iona and Arvia."
