Topic: Figureheads.

Spartan has suggested a model of himself, with spear, as the figurehead for Spartan Lines.
It's time cruise ships had their own figureheads. Any suggestions for particular ships? Obviously Queens for Cunard (imagine Queen Victoria with her stern gaze approaching NY).
Maybe the Godmother...Darcey Bussell would look good, in a tutu.

Seems this is more difficult than it appears Jo. I've been racking my brains.

How about the moon in front of the sun on the Eclipse for a kick-off.

Disney has a sort of figurehead - at the wrong end!


I prefer Black Watch's figurehead, even if she is facing the wrong way!

How about 'Adonis' the lover of the goddess 'Aphrodite' in Greek mythology and on
P&O's Adonia I cant think of anything more appropriate.

Just wanted to draw your attention to Lizzie's explanation of why female figureheads are supposed to be lucky ;)

Well Folks, here is another popular ships figure, not I would think femail, the question is, what ship is he on??

Well, there's a local home carer where we used to live... she was quite well known. Her name is Pearl, for the Norwegian Pearl.... :D


How about the olympic athelete Jade Johnson for the Norwegian Jade, Freddie Starr for the Norwegian Star, A druid figure for the Celebrity Equinox....
