The above photo is some brie cheese from France which I purchased at a grocery store in Houston, TX. The English translation of "Ile de France" is "Island of France." Having a large passenger ship associated with the Island of France is an apparent obvious association. The truth is that Ile de France is like a state or province in north central France (surrounding Paris) and is at least 100 miles from any body of water capable of handling a large sea going vessel. The first time I saw this product I literally chuckled out loud in the store. By the way, the cheese is pretty good. A word of advice to the marketing department--do a little research making sure what you are presenting doesn't just sound nice but is correct and appropriate.
