The Celebrity Beyond is named after Simone Biles, the most decorated American gymnast of all time.
The CEO of the Royal Caribbean Group said that Simone Biles was the best choice to be the ship's god.
The sister ships of Beyond the Celebrity and Celebrity Edge have been named after women.
The Celebrity Beyond is a 10-day cruise.
A distinguished group of strong, barrier-breaking women have been named as Celebrity's godmothers before me, and it is an honor to join them. I am honored to share the stage with other brave, boundary-breaking leaders like Lisa-Lutoff Perlo, and I am thankful for the important message this designation holds in recognizing our accomplishments as empowering women.
The Beyond, the first American female cruise ship captain, launched service this summer in Europe and kicks off its inaugural Caribbean season with a variety of itineraries. A live performance from award-winning singer and songwriter, Leona Lewis, was one of the highlights of the naming ceremony.
The Royal Caribbean Group CEO said they crushed it in the third quarter.
Time's 100 Most Influential, Forbes 30 Under 30 and the Ebony Power 100 list are just a few of the things that Simone Biles has been included on.
