Uniworld names a royal godmother for S.S. Maria Theresa
Uniworld has announced a royal godmother for its third Super Ship, the S.S. Maria Theresa, debuting spring 2015.
A direct descendent of the great Maria Theresa of the powerful Habsburg-Lothringen dynasty, Princess Anita von Hohenberg - great-granddaughter of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie von Hohenberg - will christen her ancestor’s namesake ship on March 26 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Princess Anita comes from a long line of Habsburgs, one of Europe’s oldest sovereign families, dating back to the 15th century. Maria Theresa, the Archduchess of Austria and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, reigned from 1740 to 1780 as the only female ruler of the Habsburg Empire, as well as one of its most successful. The S.S. Maria Theresa will cruise the Danube River on Uniworld’s European Jewels voyage from Budapest to Amsterdam. She will also serve the line’s popular Tulips & Windmills, European Holiday Markets, and Grand Christmas & New Year’s Cruise itineraries.
