The winning travel consultants will be flown to Amsterdam next month to attend the naming and launch ceremony of the Thomas Hardy and the Emily Brontë.
They will carry out the traditional ship christening of smashing champagne bottles against the ships’ hulls and enjoy a three-course meal and entertainment onboard.
Both the Thomas Hardy and the Emily Brontë can accommodate up to 169 passengers with 44 onboard staff.
Ben Hitchcock, marketing director at Riviera Travel, said: “This is the first time we have officially christened our river cruise ships and given them their all-important godmothers.
“Our travel agents are such a vital part of our business that we felt it was only right to honour them by making them the ships’ first godmothers.”
To be in with a chance of becoming a godmother, agents can enter the competition by answering the question: “Which is the third new river cruise ship to be announced for this year by Riviera Travel, in addition to the Thomas Hardy and the Emily Brontë?”
Answers can be emailed to agencysales@rivieratravel.co.uk by February 3.
