Princess Cruises has revealed that Pantalones Organic Tequila co-founders Camila and Matthew McConaughey will serve as godparents of the new Star Princess, continuing a tradition that has included icons such as Princess Diana, Audrey Hepburn, and Sophia Loren.
A Ceremony Celebrating Maritime Tradition
The McConaughey couple will christen the company’s most innovative ship, marking a new era for Princess Cruises. “We’re honored to be godparents of the Star Princess,” declared Camila and Matthew McConaughey. “With Princess, it’s not just a vacation — it’s time well spent, families and friends coming together, meeting new folks, and making memories.”
Gus Antorcha, President of Princess Cruises, expressed his satisfaction with the choice: “We are delighted to have Camila and Matthew McConaughey as the godparents of Star Princess. Their passion for life, dedication to giving back, and unmistakable charisma make them the perfect pair to christen our newest ship.”
Connection with Pantalones Organic Tequila
Across the Princess fleet, signature cocktails featuring Pantalones Organic Tequila, founded by the couple, are served, including the popular 24K Gold Margarita. Their tequila is also part of Princess’ Love Line Premium Liquors collection, which includes a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits.
Features of the Star Princess
The Star Princess, at 177,800 tons and accommodating 4,300 guests, is the sister ship to the award-winning Sun Princess. It offers 30 distinct dining and bar venues, curated entertainment and activity offerings, and luxury accommodations across a wide range of categories.
Unique to Star Princess and Sun Princess is The Sanctuary Collection, an elevated private escape at sea with access to an exclusive restaurant, the Sanctuary Club (a tranquil, adults-only pool deck), and thoughtfully curated amenities that set a new standard for luxury at sea.
With over 1,500 balcony staterooms, guests can enjoy panoramic views from the privacy of their own rooms. Standout venues include The Dome, a next-generation relaxation and entertainment space; The Princess Arena, Princess’ most technologically advanced theater yet; and The Piazza, the architectural centerpiece of the ship with its dramatic curves, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sweeping ocean vistas.
Inaugural Itineraries
On October 4, 2025, Star Princess will debut in the Mediterranean, sailing roundtrip from Barcelona before crossing the Atlantic to begin a season of Caribbean voyages from Fort Lauderdale on November 7, 2025. Following her Caribbean season, she will sail through the Panama Canal heading west to begin her inaugural Alaska Season. Star Princess voyages for 2025, 2026, and 2027 are now available for booking.
