Marie McCrea, nominated by her daughter in the #SearchforWonderMom TikTok contest, has been chosen to take on the role for the newest Oasis-class ship.

Royal said McCrea, a mum, wife and cancer survivor, "overcame adversity with incredible strength", and will bless Wonder during its naming ceremony at its first year-round homeport of Port Canaveral on 9 December.

"The search for such an inspiring mum who embodies the spirit of Wonder of the Seas was anything but easy," said Michael Bayley, president and chief executive of Royal Caribbean International.

"Marie and her family have a heartening and encouraging story that made us cry and rejoice and [be] hopeful, and throughout it all, she inspired wonder and adventure in those around her."

Marie McCrea said: "It is a tremendous honour to have been chosen amongst all the incredible nominees, and I am so excited to have the opportunity to serve as the godmother for Wonder of the Seas."

In the search on TikTok for the "ultimate Wonder Mom", more than 16,000 videos were submitted as part of 10.6 billion #SeachforWonderMom hashtag views.
