Princess has announced that Camilla and Matthew McConaughey will be the godparents of the new Star Princess, continuing a tradition that has included such luminaries as Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren. The McConaugheys will christen the cruise line's most innovative ship, marking the beginning of a new generation of cruises for Princess.
“It is an honor for us to be godparents of the Star Princess,” declared Camilla and Matthew McConaughey. “With Princess, it’s not just about a vacation, but about time well spent: families and friends reuniting, new friendships being forged, memories to last a lifetime. This ship embodies that spirit, and we are proud to have been a part of its story from the very beginning.”
Camila and Matthew McConaughey, co-founders of Pantalones Organic Tequila, bring their dynamic spirit and creativity to this centuries-old maritime tradition. Together, they embody values such as passion, generosity, and innovation, which resonate deeply with Princess' philosophy.
“We are delighted that Camilla and Matthew McConaughey are the godparents of the Star Princess,” said Gus Torch, Chairman of Princess. “Their zest for life, their commitment to helping others, and their unmistakable charisma make them the perfect pair to christen our newest ship. With their warmth and spirit, they embody the values that define Princess, and we are happy to welcome them to our family in such a special way.”
Across its fleet, Princess offers signature cocktails made with Pantalones Organic Tequila, including the passenger favorite, the 24K Gold Margarita. Their tequila is also part of Princess' Love Line Premium Liquors collection, which features a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits, both traditional and non-alcoholic.
The Star Princess, with a gross tonnage of 177,800 and a capacity for 4,300 passengers, is the sister ship of the award-winning Sun Princess. It offers 30 dining and leisure venues and a carefully curated entertainment program. Among its exclusive features are The Sanctuary Collection, a private retreat at sea with an exclusive restaurant, the Sanctuary Club (an adults-only pool area), and services designed to set a new standard of luxury at sea.
With over 1,500 balcony cabins, passengers can enjoy panoramic views from the comfort of their room. Other iconic spaces include:
- The Dome, an innovative next-generation relaxation and entertainment space.
- The Princess Arena, Princess's most technologically advanced theater.
- The Piazza, the ship's architectural center, with spectacular curves, floor-to-ceiling windows and endless ocean views.
On October 4, 2025, the Star Princess will make its Mediterranean debut with cruises from Barcelona before crossing the Atlantic to begin its Caribbean season from Fort Lauderdale on November 7, 2025. Following this leg, it will sail through the Panama Canal into the Pacific to begin its inaugural Alaskan season. Star Princess voyages for 2025, 2026, and 2027 are now available for booking.
