Je cherche une formule élégante... Merci. Il s'agit de deux nouveaux navires d'une flotte de croisière...
"The new spa will also be featured on our two newest ships, ***which we’ll christen simultaneously*** in June 2009 –I hope you will have the opportunity to experience them yourself!"

que nous baptiseront de conserve
D'après le Larousse, Litt. Conjointement, ensemble.
Autre sens de l'expression : naviguer de conserve, suivre la même route

: no idea if this is right or wrong, but made me laugh, as I imagined some floral be-hatted lady smashing a jar of rhubarb jam over the bow of the SS France

que l'on baptisera en parallèle
Just a thought, for the sake of variety.
Your comments will help me learn!
(I like the image of 2 great ships sliding down the slipway side by side, even though that almost certainly wouldn't actually be the case!)

Yes, of course you're right, and I'd even be surprised if they were being built in the same shipyard; I imagine they simply mean that the ships will be launched at around the same date, whatever side of the world they happen to be on.

Discussion
Lien très intéressant !
Ce vaisseau perdit sa conserve.
Naviguer de conserve, aller de conserve, être de conserve, se dit de Deux ou de plusieurs bâtiments qui vont de compagnie, qui font route ensemble.
(Figuré)
Agir de conserve signifie Agir, opérer, d’accord avec quelqu’un.
Moi non plus je ne connaissais pas (et j'ai visualisé une boîte de haricots...Je suis moins gourmande/poétique que Tony...pauvre bateau). J'avais toujours cru qu'on disait "de concert"...Merci Anne !
