Nobel Laureate and UN Messenger of Peace Malala Yousafzai has announced a two year partnership with Celebrity Cruises, who will be supporting the Malala Fund's commitment to diversity, education and gender equality.

The 19 year old has also been named Godmother of the company's newest ship, Celebrity Edge, debuting late in 2018. Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Celebrity Cruises CEO commented 'Partnering with the Malala Fund was a natural fit as we share the same passion and commitment to an incredible cause. We believe in opportunities for all, especially as our crew on board represent more than 50 different cultures - and amazing stories of achievement, education and economic advancement'.
