Würzburg in Germany last
week hosted its first ever river
ship christening ceremony,
welcoming the brass from APT as
MS AmaVenita entered the fleet.
Tasked with official naming
rights was Godmother Rebekah
McGeary, daughter-in-law and
wife respectively of APT founder
Geoff McGeary and son Robert.
The town’s Mayor Christian
Schuchardt was also on hand,
witnessing Rebekah follow
maritime tradition in breaking a
bottle of champagne on the bow
to bestow a lifetime of good luck.
Dancers, folk music and soprano
Heidelinde Schmid from the
Bavarian State Opera were also
on hand to entertain spectators.
MS AmaVenita has now set sail
on the Rhine, Main and Danube,
offering capacity of 164 pax,
priced from $7,395ppts.
Robert, Rebekah and Geoff
McGeary are pictured above.
