Two Loyal Past Guests Help Mark a Meaningful Milestone for Trafalgar on the Rivers
Meet Cassie Estrella-Roca, godmother of Trafalgar Verity, and Kate McIntosh, godmother of Trafalgar Reverie, both selected for reflecting Trafalgar’s values and identity: connection, discovery and a genuine love of travel.
“Cassie and Kate reflect everything our brand stands for, including warmth, connection and a genuine love for discovery,” says Damien O’Connor, Vice President of River Cruises, Trafalgar.
More than just icons, they each personify this deeply special moment with their excitement for Trafalgar’s future, loyalty and belief in the brand.
A Guest-Led Milestone
Based in California, Estrella-Roca brings years of tour experience with Trafalgar and Costsaver, exploring destinations across Europe, the Middle East and South America. She loves to share her travels, encouraging others to experience the ease and connection of guided travel.
“I am a loyal person when something works for me…Trafalgar has been that brand for me,” said Estrella-Roca.
McIntosh, based in Melbourne, has traveled with Trafalgar for years and fully embraces solo travel, championing the room share program because she loves making friends and meeting new people.
“I am so excited to be the new godmother and so proud to be part of an amazing brand,” said McIntosh.
Maritime Magic
In prioritizing real past guests as godmothers over public figures, Trafalgar honors a classic maritime tradition in a way that feels true to the brand. Ship godmothers bless them with good luck and safe passage for the journeys ahead, but they are usually public personas.
These are not distant figureheads—these are true travelers who know the Trafalgar experience firsthand, believe in the brand and reflect the kind of guest loyalty advisors can speak to with confidence.
As Trafalgar brings its guided travel expertise to Europe’s rivers, Cassie and Kate represent the people at the heart of the journey: guests who come for the destination, connect through the experience and return because they trust the brand.
