Norwegian Aqua godfather is actor Eric Stonestreet

Two-time Emmy Award-winning actor Eric Stonestreet will serve as the godfather of Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Aqua.

'We had an amazing time with Eric on one of our ships, and also got to spend some time with his charming family after. Over the past couple of months, Eric has become a true friend of NCL,' NCL President David Herrera said.

'Eric’s authenticity, wit, charm and genuine desire to bring happiness to the masses embodies the role of godfather for Norwegian Aqua, as well as who we are and what we stand for as a company.'

April 13 naming at PortMiami

Stonestreet will feature at Norwegian Aqua's April 13 naming festivities at PortMiami.

Best known for his work on the hit television show 'Modern Family,' his portrayal of Cameron Tucker earned him two Primetime Emmy Awards for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series. Stonestreet also has appeared in films including 'The Secret Life of Pets' and 'Identity Thief,' and previously hosted Fox’s reality competition series 'Domino Masters.' Currently, he can be seen in season two of 'The Santa Clauses,' one of Disney+'s most-streamed original series.

After the christening voyage, Norwegian Aqua will depart on seven-day cruises from Port Canaveral beginning April 26 with calls at Puerto Plata, Tortola, St. Thomas and Great Stirrup Cay, which will have a pier in late 2025.
