An historic moment for the cruise industry, as the Wunambal Gaambera Traditional Owners recently named Seabourn Cruise Line's new Seabourn Pursuit, marking the first time Traditional Owners have named a ship. The day-long celebration and naming ceremony were thoughtfully planned to honor Wunambal Gaambera Country and people and Kimberley region, and offered guests opportunities to immerse themselves in the Aboriginal culture and history. "This is a wonderful maritime tradition, and today is extra special for us because we asked the Wunambal Gaambera to be the ship's godparents, which marks the beginning of long sustainable partnership between our brand and this community. We know our guests visit these wonderful places in the world because they believe in the transformative power of travel, and today we celebrate exactly this." 💬 Natalya Leahy | President, Seabourn Full story ▶ https://lnkd.in/es8vgkbG 🛳️ #WeARECruise | CLIA in Australasia Photos: Seabourn
