Pop star Mariah Carey took on the role of godmother to Disney Cruise Line"s new ship Disney Fantasy, officially naming the ship at a ceremony in New York.

Carey was joined by fellow celebrities including comedian Jerry Seinfeld and actor Neil Patrick Harris at the event, one of the highlights of which was the popping of a six-foot-tall bottle of champagne at the cruise terminal in Manhattan.

Bob Iger, president and chief executive of the Walt Disney Company, said: "The Disney Fantasy is a spectacular addition to our fleet and builds on the creativity, innovation and artistry that are hallmarks of the Disney Cruise Line."
